Radiation-induced vasculopathy is a complication of radiation therapy. Most reports regarding post-irradiation ischemic stroke with intracranial tumors are restricted to pediatric cases. ⋯ Although radiation-induced ischemic stroke in adults is relatively uncommon, it is possible that the morbidity rate of radiation-induced stroke in malignant glioma patients will increase with prolonged survival due to advances in therapy. Therefore, regular evaluation of intracranial vasculature following radiation therapy is necessary.
