title: An experience of the use of radioactive plaques after failure of external beam radiation in the treatment of retinoblastoma.
abstract: The authors have reviewed the results of radioactive plaques in recurrent retinoblastoma after external beam radiation in 34 eyes. They give their results on ocular conservation and on the visual outcome and compare these results with other series previously published. They think radioactive plaques are an alternative to enucleation in recurrent retinoblastoma after external beam.
