We report a 16-month-old boy with human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6) encephalopathy showing transient abnormalities of the cerebral white matter on magnetic resonance imaging. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) demonstrated diffuse high signal intensity in the bilateral cerebral white matter areas. The signal changes on DWI subsequently resolved, and cerebral atrophy resulted. The transient decrease in the cerebral white matter diffusivity seen in the present case may reflect axonal involvement secondary to the glial or neuronal damage in HHV-6 encephalopathy.
Radiotherapy after conservation surgery has been proven to decrease local relapse and death from breast cancer, and is now firmly established in the management of early breast carcinoma. Currently, the challenge is to minimise the morbidity caused by this treatment without losing its efficacy. This review will be divided into two parts, with Part I focusing on the radiation factors contributing to late normal tissue complications after radiotherapy for early breast cancer. Three major normal tissue side-effects will be discussed: cosmetic outcome, cardiac complications and pulmonary side-effects.
