Radionecrosis is a known complication of radiotherapy that can lead to tissue destruction and scarring. MRI is an effective imaging modality for detecting and characterizing radionecrosis. We present the case of a 35-year-old male patient who developed radionecrosis in the right temporal lobe following radiotherapy for an UNCT cavuma. The MRI findings are described, and the diagnosis and treatment of radionecrosis are discussed.
