Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the base of skull is a known complication of external beam radiotherapy in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and is widely believed to be sequelae of radiation-induced endarteritis, leading to cellular death and fibrosis. Differentiating ORN from tumour recurrence is challenging and has direct clinical implications. We present a case where (99)Tc(m)-sestamibi SPECT/CT was used to differentiate ORN from tumour recurrence and in which prior imaging using bone scintigraphy and fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT were equivocal. |
