Rare Presentations of Delayed Radiation Injury: A Lobar Hematoma and a Cystic Space-occupying Lesion Appearing More Than 15 Years after Cranial Radiotherapy: Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Even after long intervals after radiotherapy, it is important to consider radiation vasculopathy and radionecrosis as differential diagnoses of more common conditions. Histological confirmation of a delayed radiation injury in the absence of any evidence of neoplasia or vascular abnormality has allowed appropriate prognosis and management to be formulated with confidence in each of these patients.
