Radiation-induced opticochiasmatic glioblastoma multiforme following conventional radiotherapy for Cushing's disease

Abstract

We report the rare occurrence of an opticochiasmatic glioblastoma multiforme 6 years following conventional radiotherapy for Cushing's disease. This article highlights the risks of collateral damage to the optic apparatus when irradiating the sellar region.

Keywords: Cushing's disease; opticochiasmatic gliomas; radiation-induced tumours; radiotherapy.
