Abstract

We reviewed follow-up data on 32 patients with orbital rhabdomyosarcoma, who were treated with external beam radiation with and without adjunctive chemotherapy between 1960 and 1992. Patients were followed up from five to eight years. Of the 32 patients, six (19%) had best-corrected visual acuity of 20/70 or better; five patients (15%) had best-corrected visual acuity of light perception to 20/300; 21 patients (66%) had no light perception. The reported long-term visual acuities should be factored in the equation for selecting treatment for patients with orbital rhabdomyosarcoma.
