Chorioretinopathy complicating local irradiation of retinoblastoma

ABSTRACT

Three cases of postradiation retinopathy are reported. The findings are analysed. The exudates which are described are really infarcts of the choroid lobules. Chorioretinopathy is proposed as a better descriptive term and three types are suggested. Diagnosis of the condition is important to spare unnecessary enucleation as the infarcted areas might resemble a recurrence. Preadisposing factors are considered and management is discussed
