[Radiation-induced vasculopathy of the carotid artery and vertebral artery].
The article reports on a case of radiation-induced vasculopathy of the vessels of the head and neck causing a transitory ischaemic attack 14 years after primary radiation of a squamous cell carcinoma. The correlation of the radiation-induced vasculopathy with regard to applied radiation dose and time latency is discussed on the basis of published references.
