Treatment of delayed radiation necrosis of the brain. A clinical observation.

The authors report two cases of delayed radiation necrosis of the brain. In these cases a dramatic clinical and computerized tomographic improvement was noted after the institution of anticoagulant therapy. Based on a review of the literature, a possible causal mechanism is suggested. It was believed from both the clinical observation and the literature review that the anticoagulant agents had a direct effect upon the improvement in these patients. Laboratory data are needed to determine the role of anticoagulant therapy in the treatment of delayed radiation necrosis of the brain.
