Pediatric Orbital Osteoradionecrosis.
Orbital osteoradionecrosis is a rare complication of orbital radiotherapy. It can occur in children, associated with orbital radiotherapy treatment, mimicking recurrence of malignancy and infection. In children, it is most likely to be associated with orbital malignancies treated with higher doses of radiotherapy, such as recurrent orbital rhabdomyosarcoma.
