Abstract

Irradiation is considered as one of the causes that may inhibit tooth development. Radiation exposure during the period of tooth development may result in impaired, delayed, or absolute failure to develop/eruption of the tooth. Radiation exposure at high dosage may also impair facial development in the pediatric population who had received radiation therapy for a malignant tumor in the head and neck region. Here we reported a case of Radiation-Induced Radicular Hypoplasia (RIRH) in a 19-year-old patient who received radiotherapy ten years ago for the Embryonal Rhabdo Myo Sarcoma of the soft palate. This case helps the clinician to observe some of the unusual and long term effects of radiotherapy on the dental structures, particularly the roots. The clinicians should consider radicular hypoplasia secondary to radiotherapy at the early stages of life if such findings are noted on the radiographs.

Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) - Introducing to hippocampal dose-reduction whole brain radiotherapy (HDR-WBRT)

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare and aggressive extranodal Non Hodgkin Lymphoma. Combined modality treatment with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) followed by whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) has been a commonly used treatment approach. While this combined modality treatment has shown to offer favourable treatment responses, it has a risk of increased treatment-related neural toxicity particularly for older patients; with a rate of around 26% in patients younger less than sixty years old and 75% in patients over 60 years [1].
