Article Synopsis
- SMART syndrome is a rare condition that can develop after brain radiation therapy, characterized by specific symptoms and MRI findings, and the study focused on understanding these aspects in patients.
- The study included 25 patients, primarily male, with a median age of 46 years, and highlights that 60% of the patients experienced symptoms about 21.6 years after radiation, primarily affecting the temporal and parietal lobes of the brain.
- Findings showed that factors like being female and not having seizure discharges during initial symptoms increased the risk of repeat episodes, while incomplete recovery was linked to older age and certain MRI characteristics.
