SMART Syndrome (Stroke-Like Migraine Attacks after Radiation Therapy) in Adult and Pediatric Patients (P03.007)

A review of the data indicates that age and gender may play a role in the development of the disease. Additionally, we postulate other mechanisms of SMART syndrome including possible genetic and hormonal influences.Disclosure: Dr. Armstrong has nothing to disclose.
