title: [External electron irradiation in 2 cases of capillary hemangioma of the optic disk].
abstract: The authors report on two cases of solitary capillary hemangioma of the optic disc, treated with external electron beam. The radiotherapist must know these rare indications of radiotherapy; and though it is a benign tumor, fractionated irradiation with low doses is excellent and generally safe.
