Clinical characteristics of radiation-induced optic neuropathy: A single-center retrospective study

The structural damage of the RNFL and ILM-RPE layer occurred during the first month, the RNFL showed progressive thinning during the follow-up period, while the ILM-RPE layer showed thinning during the first month, thickening from the third to sixth month, and thinning after 6 months. There was a discrete region of enhancement of the optic nerve, often with expansion and high-T2 signals on MRI. HBOT and high-dose IVMP therapy were hardly effective for treating RION in the non-acute stage.
