Juvenile Stroke in a Patient with Severe Large Vessel Atherosclerosis of the Neck Decades after Radiotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: Are Iatrogenic Endocrinopathies Additional Risk Factors?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Juvenile Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare head and neck cancer in Western Countries. Neck radiotherapy (RT) routine procedure for treating or preventing the nodal metastasis NPC patients. Ionizing radiation from RT has been associated with enhanced atherosclerotic process of large vessel arteries brain which results higher incidence cerebrovascular events.
