Abstract
Radiation vasculopathy is one of the rare causes of ischemic stroke. Carotid stenosis with large volume infarction may occur years after radiation therapy for head or neck cancer. We report a case of a patient with bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion presenting with left middle cerebral artery infarct 10 years after receiving treatment for tongue cancer. A literature review and discussion of treatment for such patients are presented.Entities:
