Conservative treatment of delayed cerebral radiation necrosis.
A 63-year-old man developed delayed cerebral radiation necrosis following radiotherapy to a nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Complete resolution of his neurological deficit resulted from corticosteroid therapy alone. Serial CT scans showed the disappearance of the patients' mass lesion. The literature on cerebral necrosis following radiotherapy of extracranial neoplasms is reviewed with particular emp...
متن کاملCerebral radiation necrosis complicating stereotactic radiosurgery for arteriovenous malformation.
A patient presented with symptoms and signs of raised intracranial pressure and increasing focal deficit 13 months after stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Computed Tomography (CT) showed a mass lesion at the site of the previous abnormality typical of radiation necrosis, but with features identical to those of a malignant neoplasm. Biopsy confirmed cer...
متن کاملChallenges with the diagnosis and treatment of cerebral radiation necrosis.
The incidence of radiation necrosis has increased secondary to greater use of combined modality therapy for brain tumors and stereotactic radiosurgery. Given that its characteristics on standard imaging are no different that tumor recurrence, it is difficult to diagnose without use of more sophisticated imaging and nuclear medicine scans, although the accuracy of such scans is controversial. Hi...
متن کاملA Study of Radiation-Induced Cerebral Vascular Injury in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients with Radiation-Induced Temporal Lobe Necrosis
PURPOSE To investigate radiation-induced carotid and cerebral vascular injury and its relationship with radiation-induced temporal lobe necrosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS Fifty eight NPC patients with radiation-induced temporal lobe necrosis (TLN) were recruited in the study. Duplex ultrasonography was used to scan bilateral carotid arterials to evaluat...
متن کاملRadiation-induced temporal lobe necrosis.
Because nasopharyngeal carcinoma has a high frequency of intracranial spread, adequate radiation treatment inevitably results in irradiation of the temporal lobes. A 38-year-old woman who was treated for nasopharyn-geal carcinoma 30 months previously and had been given radiation therapy (70 Gy to the primary site) presented with headaches. Computed tomography (CT) showed an enhancing lesion in ...
