영문 초록

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 few 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. Authors experienced a case of pontine glioma with radiation necrosis on left temporal lobe about 2 months after radiation therapy of total 4300rad. We presented this case with a brief review of literatures.
