Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack After Head and Neck Radiotherapy
Stroke 42:2410-2418, Plummer, C.,et al, 2011
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Head and neck radiotherapy significantly increases the risk of transient ischemic attack and ischemic stroke. Evidence-based guidelines for the management of asymptomatic and symptomatic (medium- and large-artery) radiation vasculopathy are lacking. Long-term prospective studies remain a priority, as the incidence of the problem is anticipated to rise with improvements in postradiotherapy patient survival.
