This doc is difficult to understand, but I'm pretty sure he's saying this and just want to verify.
Pt had Hodgkin's disease secondary to thyroid cancer.
On physical exam, head is normocephalic but smaller in proportion to the rest of his body. This is not new after his radiation treatments.
Is anyone aware if radiation has this effect? Thanks.

chemo vs tumor side effects
Subject: chemo vs tumor side effects
Sometimes the suggestion of chemo side effects can also be the symptoms or manifestations of the tumor itself. Temodar (brand name for the generic temozolomide) is primarily used in the treatment of brain tumors, i.e. gliomas, melanomas, astrocytoma, blastomas and the like. Photosensitivity is commonly correlated with gliomas and melanomas primaries as well as brain metastases....especially as these tumor types progress. Also, being a brain tumor, the location of the tumor itself (rather than its type) could be playing a central role in producing that symptom.

Doubt antistigmatic--not a word. Astigmatism is something entirely different. There is no reference in Stedman's ophth for antistigmatic, but do believe they mean nystagmus for "eyes jump." Can you leave a blank? The author apparently doesn't know the correct word to use. Maybe the context of the sentence will help you.
