[Late radiation-induced necrosis of the brain--a follow-up study using computerized tomography]. 1987

F Ebner, and M Hörmann, and M Gölles, and U Dornauer

One case of cerebral tumor is presented in order to describe the radiogenic alterations demonstrated by computed tomography of the brain. The possible radiogenic alterations of the brain substance, the time interval between radiotherapy and first manifestation, and the influence of radiation dose and fractionation are discussed. In order to distinguish between radiogenic alterations and tumor recurrences when performing a checkup examination by computed tomography, the knowledge of irradiation scheme, focal dose, and distribution of isodoses is necessary.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
