Table 2 The changing of hydrocephalus and visual field before and after emergency irradiation
From: Emergency irradiation of 3.4Gy/2f in pineal gland germinoma patients with symptomatic hydrocephalus
Parameters | Pre-emergency-irradiation | Post-emergency-irradiation | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
Hydrocephalus improvement (mm) | |||
Maximum width of FN | 11.6 (range 3.0 to 23.1) | 8.0 (range 2.0 to 15.0) | < 0.001 |
Minimum width of TCC | 39.0 (range 19.4 to 56.4) | 31.4 (range 12.0 to 49.3) | < 0.001 |
Median MD (n = 14) | |||
Right eyes | −4.6(range − 10.1 to − 0.9) | −2.2(range − 7.3 to − 0.4) | 0.18 |
Left eyes | −3.4(range − 10.8 to − 1.4) | −3.0(range − 14.5 to − 0.7) | 0.87 |
