Driving after cerebral ischemia--a driving simulator investigation.

Unlabelled: Stroke patients with relevant deficits are not allowed to drive. This study tended to assess driving abilities in an early stage after cerebral ischemia with a driving simulator.

Methods: 32 patients (aged 54.

Long-term results after low dose ocular irradiation for choroidal haemangiomas.

Aim/background: The most common choice of treatment for choroidal haemangiomas (CH) in the past has been the employment of scatter photocoagulation of the surface. This management often requires repetitive treatment or additional invasive management due to massive exudative detachment of the retina. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the outcome of the alternative application of low dose external beam irradiation with high energetic photons on these tumours.

[Long-term outcome of radiotherapy of choroid hemangioma].

The usual therapeutic approach to circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas of the posterior pole consists of scatter photocoagulation of the tumor surface. This may often require repetitive treatment or additional invasive measures prior to coagulation due to massive exudative detachment of the retina. In this study, external beam irradiation with high-energy photons (total absorbed dose: 20 Gy) was applied to 36 symptomatic patients.
