Abstract
|
|
|
Cerebral radiation necrosis is classified according to the time of appearance of symptoms after therapy. Acute injury appears during radiation therapy as a transient worsening of symptoms and has little prognostic significance. Early delayed
injury
occurs a few weeks to 3 months after therapy and also is transient in most cases. By contrast late radiation injury, which occurs a fe months to 10 or more years after therapy, is irreversible, progressive, and sometimes fatal, and constitutes
the
major, dose-limiting complication of cerebral irradiation. There are two main forms of late radiation injury : focal necrosis and diffuse white matter injury.
