Radiation necrosis of the femoral neck in the postirradiated carcinoma of the cervix is well known. But, Radionecrosis of the iliac bone is rare. We have recently experienced a case.
A woman, forty-six years old, had the treatment of irradiation for the carcinoma of the cervix, eight years ago.
In January 1975, she noticed the pain in the left leg. Roentgenogram of the pelvis showed the fine sclerosis, fanning into the left ilium from the sacroiliac joint.
After seven months from the onset of the pain, it showed the oblique fracture in the left iliac wing.
Following the concervative therapy for four months, osteosynthesis of the iliac wing was done, when the callus formation of the lesion was seen.
The patient was crutch-walking four months after.
