🎯 Final pearl from Dr. Brigitte Bison:
When reviewing follow-up neuro-oncology imaging, don't focus solely on recurrence or secondary malignancies.
⚠️ Consider therapy-induced changes as part of the differential diagnosis.
📌 The best diagnoses come from combining careful observation, pattern recognition, and clinical context.

[Philip R. Chapman, MD @PhilipRChapman1]

Trigeminal trophic syndrome is generally a clinical diagnosis. It leads to localized ulceration and destruction of face and scalp supplied by trigeminal nerve, most commonly the nasal ala. I have seen only 2 or 3 cases with imaging manifestations through the years and it can be problematic- difficult or impossible to separate from invasive skin cancer, unusual infection, or GPA. The tissue destruction is secondary to abnormal sensory processing and repetitive trauma (rather than a primary dermatologic disease). Patients repeatedly rub, scratch, or pick at numb/dysesthetic skin because of uncomfortable paresthesias.

Please take a few minutes to fill out a survey and help us learn more about the global awareness and clinical adoption of the Head & Neck Cancer International Group Consensus Recommendation and AOSNHNR-ASHNR-ESHNR Joint Task Force Guide for radiological assessment and reporting imaging-derived extranodal extension (iENE) in head and neck cancer among neuroradiologists. Thank you in advance!!

👀 A sneak preview of the talk!

[Philip R. Chapman, MD @PhilipRChapman1]

In a patient with prior radiation for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) or other primary malignant tumor such as adenoid cystic carcinoma, a new intraparenchymal lesion in the anterior temporal lobe is much more likely to represent radiation necrosis than metastatic disease. (Radiation necrosis until proven otherwise)

Imaging clues that favor radiation necrosis:
-Location: anterior/inferior temporal lobe ( and within radiation field)
-Timing: Within first 3 years of radiation
-Enhancement: irregular, ring-like or “soap-bubble”
-Edema: often disproportionate
-Perfusion (DSC MRI): ↓ rCBV
-MR spectroscopy: lipid-lactate peaks, ↓ choline

Metastasis, while rare, becomes more plausible if:
-Lesion is outside radiation field
-Multiple lesions in atypical locations (e.g., cerebellum, cortex elsewhere)
-Markedly elevated perfusion (high rCBV)
-Known systemic metastatic progression
