[Management of cerebral radionecrosis: experience in the Department of Neurology at the Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital].

Brain radionecrosis is a rare but life-threatening complication of external-beam radiotherapy for ENT cancers, in particular of the nasopharynx, and for brain tumors. Very few studies were conducted on this complication in the African population as well as in the Maghreb population. Therefore our study aims to describe the demographic, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary features of cerebral radionecrosis in the Department of Neurology at the Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital in Rabat over a period of 18 years (2000-2017).
