Flashes of light-radiation therapy to the brain.

Deborah T Blumenthal1, Benjamin W Corn2, Natan Shtraus2.   

Abstract

We present a series of three patients who received therapeutic external beam radiation to the brain and experienced a phenomenon of the sensation of flashes of bright or blue light, simultaneous with radiation delivery. We relate this benign phenomenon to low-dose exposure to the eye fields and postulate that the occurrence is underreported in this treated population.
