Description
Abdalrahman Shaban and Kashif Musarrat report a 2025 case linking past radiation therapy to a major stroke. A 64 year old man had throat cancer treated in 2017 with high dose radiation to both sides of the neck. He arrived with sudden left side weakness, trouble speaking, and a blind area in his vision.
Scans showed a blocked right carotid artery in the neck plus a clot in a brain artery beyond it, with fresh strokes in that territory. Doctors pulled the clot by catheter, opened the neck artery, and placed a stent, restoring flow. The authors urge long term vessel checks for survivors of high dose neck radiation.
