title: Brain necrosis after repeated radiotherapy.
abstract: A case of radionecrosis in the brain simulating a tumor was presented. Two courses of radiotherapy were given to a right intraorbital tumor over an interval of ten years. Four years after the second course of therapy, symptoms simulating a right frontal lobe tumor developed. A frontal lobectomy including the necrotic area improved the patient's condition.
