Four patients (3 acromegalics, 1 chromophobe adenoma) out of a total of 87 patients with pituitary tumors treated with irradiation are presumed to have developed optic chiasmal radionecrosis. It would appear very difficult, if not impossible, to predict those patients at greatest risk of this complication due to individual variations in sensitivity to radiation.
在总共87例接受放射治疗的垂体瘤患者中,有4例(3例肢端肥大症患者,1例嫌色细胞瘤患者)被推测发生了视交叉放射性坏死。由于个体对辐射的敏感性存在差异,要预测哪些患者发生这种并发症的风险最大,即便不是不可能,似乎也非常困难。
