radiation necrosis

For instance, radiotherapy to the brain can cause memory loss, headache, alopecia, and radiation necrosis of the brain.

However, it often causes severe side effects, including radiation necrosis, dementia, toxic leukoencephalopathy, partial to complete hair loss, nausea, headaches, and otitis media.

That study also found that it may be useful in the treatment of radiation necrosis, since it reduces edema and mass effect and diminishes blood-brain-barrier leakage.
