摘要

AIM:To evaluate the efficacy of ruthenium-106 plaque brachytherapy for the treatment of diffuse choroidal hemangioma(DCH)in Sturge-Weber syndrome(SWS).METHODS:A total of 8 patients with DCH in SWS managed with plaque brachytherapy were retrospectively included.Patients were treated with ruthenium-106 plaque therapy(median apex dose:83 Gy)at the thickest tumor region.On follow-up,we recorded the tumor thickness,the best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA),subretinal fluid(SRF)status,and complications following treatment.RESULTS:At a median follow-up of 43 mo,tumor regression was observed in all cases,with a complete resolution of SRF and reduction in tumor-thickness.No radiation complications were recorded during the follow up time.CONCLUSION:Ruthenium-106 plaque therapy to the thickest portion of the tumor seems to be a useful treatment in patients with DCH in SWS.
