Dose-volume relationships associated with temporal lobe radiation necrosis after skull base proton beam therapy.
PURPOSE We evaluated patient and treatment parameters correlated with development of temporal lobe radiation necrosis. METHODS AND MATERIALS This was a retrospective analysis of a cohort of 66 patients treated for skull base chordoma, chondrosarcoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, or sinonasal malignancies between 2005 and 2012, who had at least 6 months of clinical and radiographic follow-up. The...

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 ...
متن کاملTemporal lobe necrosis: a dwindling entity in a patient with nasopharyngeal cancer after radiation therapy
INTRODUCTION Our objective was to report a case of misdiagnosed temporal lobe necrosis (TLN) in a patient with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) after radiation therapy. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 45 years old Chinese woman who developed moderate to severe headache and dizziness 1 year after 2D radiation therapy for NPC. Subsequent MRI scanning revealed a big enhancing mass in the righ...
متن کاملProton radiation therapy for chordomas and chondrosarcomas of the skull base.
OBJECT Local tumor control, patient survival, and treatment failure outcomes were analyzed to assess treatment efficacy in 58 patients in whom fractionated proton radiation therapy (RT) was administered for skull base chordomas and chondrosarcomas. METHODS Between March 1992 and January 1998, a total of 58 patients who could be evaluated were treated for skull base tumors, 33 for chordoma and...
