Episodic Neurologic Dysfunction with Migraine and Reversible Imaging Findings After RadiationRRH
Neurol 67:676-678, Pruitt,A.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Reported are three adults who developed frequent episodes of a complex neurologic syndrome years after radiation therapy for a brain tumor. MRI and [18F]flurodeoxyglucose PET performed during the episodes demonstrated dramatic gyral thickening with enhancement and intense hypermetabolism in symptomatic regions that resolved on follow-up studies. EEG during episodes showed only slowing. The differential diagnosis and imaging findings are reviewed.
