SMART syndrome

Discussion:

The patient underwent resection and radiotherapy (RT) for a meningioma 15 years prior to this presentation. There is evidence of long term post-RT effects with diffuse white matter change, volume loss and microbleeds/cavernomas. This acute presentation with headaches, stroke-like symptoms and contiguous cortical enhancement is a recognized phenomenon called SMART syndrome (Stroke-like Migraine attacks After Radiation Therapy).
