Abstract
FIRST DESCRIBED in 1933 by Stallard,1 radiation retinopathy is characterized by a slowly progressive, occlusive vasculopathy with a delayed onset after irradiation. The pathologic hallmark of this condition seems to be radiation-related endothelial changes in the retinal vessels, leading to occlusive vascular disease.2 Radiation retinopathy usually leads to irreversible visual impairment.Keywords
