Abstract

A patient who received treatment for acute myelogenous leukemia (chemotherapy, irradiation, corticosteroid therapy) developed cerebral radionecrosis with hemiplegia (treated by corticosteroids) then multiple foci of osteonecrosis on the nonparalyzed side. The mechanisms which may have prevented osteonecrosis from occurring on the side of the hemiplegia are discussed.
