Abstract :
Radiation therapies are commonly used for malignant or metastatic brain tumors for curative and palliative use. The radiation‑induced neurotoxicity includes both parenchymal and vascular damage. Here we report the case of a 43‑year‑old woman who developed Multiple sclerosis (MS) 9 months after she underwent the last session of radiotherapy for the diagnosed meningioma. Conventional doses of radiation might trigger MS.
