Abstract
The authors have reviewed the results of radioactive plaques in recurrent retinoblastoma after external beam radiation in 34 eyes. They give their results on ocular conservation and on the visual outcome and compare these results with other series previously published. They think radioactive plaques are an alternative to enucleation in recurrent retinoblastoma after external beam.Keywords
