Abstract
Radiation-induced ocular complications are common during radiation therapy for cancers of the head and neck. Some are mild and transient, others can be very serious jeopardizing visual function. This rare and unusual case study aims to highlight the different clinical manifestations and the ocular but especially corneal complications associated with radiation therapy as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of a corneal perforation which is a serious complication of radiation therapy.
