RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Iatrogenic cerebral radiation necrosis JF Practical Neurology JO Pract Neurol FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP 427 OP 430 DO 10.1136/practneurol-2020-002904 VO 21 IS 5 A1 Hilton, Carolina Maria Helena A1 Specht, Lena A1 Loebner Lund, Eva A1 Martens, Pernille Christina A1 Schmidt, Grethe A1 Krarup, Lars-Henrik YR 2021 UL http://pn.bmj.com/content/21/5/427.abstract AB Cerebral radiation necrosis is the most serious late reaction to high doses of ionising radiation to the brain, and its treatment is generally unsatisfactory. We present a patient who developed cerebral radiation necrosis after protracted fluoroscopy during repeated embolisations of an extracranial arteriovenous malformation. Treatment with bevacizumab (a humanised murine monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor) was followed by neurological and radiological improvements.
