Abstract

Osteoradionecrosis is one of the most serious complications of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. We report three cases of osteoradionecrosis in temporal lobe who presented differently few years after completion of radiotherapy. Cranial magnetic resonance image showed lesions in temporal lobe either unilateral or bilateral with mass effect. One of the cases even showed disease progression few years after the initial diagnosis of osteoradionecrosis. Diagnosis of osteoradionecrosis for all three patients was confirmed by biopsy.
