[Neurologic complications of brain radiotherapy: contribution of experimental studies].
Cerebral complications of radiotherapy may occur in an acute, early or semi-delayed or delayed form. The mechanism of these complications are poorly understood. The main clinical aspects of radiation-induced cerebral damage are reviewed, together with results of experimental studies following cerebral irradiation with conventional doses.
