  • Title: [Radiation-induced cavernoma of the central nervous system].
    Author: Melot A, Laquerrière A, Hanzen S, Fréger P, Proust F.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 2007 Dec; 53(6):495-500. PubMed ID: 18061632.
    Abstract:
    Central nervous system radiation-induced cavernoma (RIC) is a rare entity. We report one case with a review of the literature. This case illustrates the following features: mean age of 11.7 years at time of radiation and mean latency period of nine years for these RIC, which are often numerous (38%), and located in the field of the craniospinal radiation therapy. This nosological entity belongs to the spectrum of radiation-induced lesions, and requires a long-term MRI follow up in patients who underwent cranial radiation therapy.
