Early delayed radiation effects are known to occur within several months after completing radiotherapy for brain tumors. We present marked changes of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan that occurred one month after radiotherapy in a patient with a pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, which was eventually diagnosed as an early delayed radiation effect. Such an early development of dramatic MRI change has not been reported in patients treated with radiotherapy for pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas.
已知早期延迟性放射效应会在脑肿瘤放疗结束后的几个月内出现。我们报告了一例多形性黄色星形细胞瘤患者在放疗后一个月磁共振成像(MRI)扫描出现的显著变化,最终被诊断为早期延迟性放射效应。接受多形性黄色星形细胞瘤放疗的患者中,如此早期出现的显著MRI变化尚未见报道。
