摘要
Stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) is a late-onset complication of cerebral irradiation, clinically characterized by headache, seizures and focal deficits. We describe two patients with SMART presenting with focal status epilepticus and headache. We believe that SMART is a misnomer that misjudge seizures among clinical features and we suggest to rename this entity as "Seizure with Migraine-like Attacks after Radiation Therapy". The new acronym, modified in its meaning but not in its form (SMART), better reflects the main clinical features and may allow neurologists to recognize this condition more easily.
