Key Points

This study aims to outline the risks and complexities of radiation-induced optic neuropathy following radiotherapy of cranial lesions.
Case review highlighting clinical presentation and challenges of diagnosing radiation-induced optic neuropathy.
Comprehensive analysis of management strategies for early intervention.
Identified delayed onset of optic neuropathy after radiotherapy in a case study.
Discussed the complexities in diagnosing radiation-induced optic neuropathy.
Outlined early management strategies that may mitigate risks after photon radiotherapy.

Implication

Case highlights radiation-induced optic neuropathy risks after photon therapy for cranial lesions, suggesting need for awareness.

Abstract

To highlight the potential delayed risk of radiation-induced optic neuropathy (RION) following photon radiotherapy of middle cranial fossa lesions and to provide a comprehensive review of its clinical presentation, diagnostic complexities, and potential early management strategies.
