Successful radiotherapy treatment of lacrimal gland infiltration in patient with Sjögren΄s syndrome.
OBJECTIVE: To present a single case report on successful radiotherapy treatment of lacrimal gland infiltration in patient with Sjögren΄s syndrome.
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy is occasionally used for the treatment of benign disorders. There is no report on use of radiotherapy for local treatment of the Sjögren΄s syndrome in the literature.
METHODS: Female patient with lacrimal gland involvement as a part of Sjögren΄s syndrome with diplopia and visus deterioration was treated by radiotherapy with eye shielding.
RESULTS: Regression of the infiltration with full restoration of visus and minimal acute radiation reaction was achieved.
CONCLUSION: A case report of successful use of local radiotherapy in the treatment of lacrimal gland affected by Sjögren΄s syndrome is presented (Fig. 3, Ref. 6). Full Text in PDF www.elis.sk.
