Velopharyngeal and choanal stenosis after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Choanal stenosis is a well recognized late complication of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However velopharyngeal stenosis post radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is rare. We present here a case of bilateral choanal stenosis and velopharyngeal stenosis in a patient treated with radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. A 58-year-old woman presented to our otolaryngology clini...

متن کاملThree-Phase Adaptive Radiation Therapy for Patients With Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Undergoing Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy: Dosimetric Analysis
Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing intensity-modulated radiation therapy may experience significant anatomic changes throughout the entire treatment course, and adaptive radiation therapy may be necessary to maintain optimal dose delivered both to the targets and to the critical structures. The timing of adaptive radiation therapy, however, is largely unknown. This study was to e...
متن کاملAetiological factors and imaging program for severe radiation-induced extracranial carotid stenosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Over a period of 3 years, we have collected the carotid ultrasound findings of 189 post-radiotherapy (RT) nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. The patients had duplex ultrasound examination for assessment of extracranial carotid stenosis. Factors including age, sex, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking history, time lapsed after RT, symptoms of cerebrovascular disease were recorded. Associ...
متن کاملThe use of 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy in studying radiation-induced injury of the brain in elderly and young patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Background: This study aims to investigate the metabolic characteristics of radiotherapy-induced temporal lobe injury in elderly patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma using 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Materials and Methods: Data were collected from 21 elderly patients and 33 young patients before and during therapy with different radiation dosages (2...
