Abstract
Few cases of radiation injury related to lengthy interventional neuror adiologic procedures have been reported, although concern has been hei ghtened, as evidenced by a 1994 FDA Public Health Advisory. We report a case of radiation-induced dermatitis in a patient undergoing multipl e diagnostic and embolization procedures for treatment of a spinal art eriovenous malformation.
