    Low-dose cranial irradiation has been historically used to treat benign conditions, including tinea capitis, before being abandoned due to long-term risks.

  • 2

    Patients exposed to low-dose cranial irradiation have a nearly tenfold higher risk of developing meningiomas compared to non-irradiated individuals.

  • 3

    Radiation-induced meningiomas typically occur at a younger age, often arise from the calvaria, and may present as multiple lesions.

  • 4

    The study evaluates the visual function impact of vision-threatening meningiomas in patients previously treated with low-dose radiation for tinea capitis.

  • 5

    Understanding the visual consequences of radiation-related meningiomas is relevant as low-dose cranial irradiation is still used for various benign conditions.
