Abstract:
Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of delayed radiation-induced brain injury. Methods 21 patients with delayed radiation-induced brain injury were diagnosed by CT, MRI and MRS, and were treated with dehydration, corticosteroid, neuroprective drugs and hyperbaric oxygen or surgery. Results The symptoms of 66.7% patients were obviously improved, 19.0% patients partly recovered and the symptoms of 14.3% patients were not obviously improved. Conclusion The early diagnosis and reasonable treatment could decrease delayed radiation-induced brain injury to minimal extent. The operative treatment should be performed in the patients who had operative indicators. And it was important to prevent the occurrence of delayed radiation-induced brain injury.
