Radiation-Related Orbital Injury: Clinical Manifestations and Considerations for Surgical Repair
Abstract
Deformity and contracture of ophthalmic soft tissues and the orbital bones which compose the orbital complex may be the result of mechanical, chemical, thermal, and/or radiation injury. While reconstruction is most commonly necessary following traumatic orbital injuries, iatrogenically induced deformities account for a large number of cases as well. Iatrogenic causes range from unavoidable surgically induced deformity resulting from excision of a primary orbital neoplasm or ocular tumor with orbital extension, to contracture resulting from secondary effects of radiation. Radiation-related injury may develop following radiation therapy directed to the globe, orbit, or nasopharynx.
