Abstract:
Radiation Retinopathy is a progressive chronic disease triggered by ionising radiation and is characterised by vascular endothelial damage that can lead to macular edema, optic disc edema and proliferative retinopathy. We discuss a case of a patient with radiation retinopathy and optic disc edema who we treated with a combination of intravitreal bevacizumab and dexamethasone. After 3 injections of bevacizumab, and one of dexamethasone, the patient experienced a resolution of optic disc edema and a marked increase of his visual acuity and remained stable throughout the follow-up period.
