This case report describes a 42-year-old man who developed radiation-induced alopecia after an endovascular embolization procedure for a cerebral arteriovenous fistula. The alopecia appeared as a well-defined patch of hair loss on the right scalp, confirmed by biopsy showing lymphocytic infiltration and increased catagen and telogen follicles. The patient was treated with intramuscular corticosteroid injections and topical 5% minoxidil, leading to complete hair regrowth after three months. Radiation-induced alopecia, though rare and typically self-limiting, requires early diagnosis. This case highlights a novel therapeutic approach combining corticosteroids and minoxidil for faster recovery.
本病例报告描述了一名42岁男性，在接受脑动静脉瘘血管内栓塞术后出现放射性脱发。脱发表现为右头皮上一块边界清晰的秃发区，活检证实有淋巴细胞浸润以及生长期和休止期毛囊增多。该患者接受了肌肉注射皮质类固醇和外用5%米诺地尔治疗，三个月后头发完全再生。放射性脱发虽然罕见且通常为自限性，但需要早期诊断。本病例突出了一种将皮质类固醇和米诺地尔相结合以实现更快恢复的新型治疗方法。
