Seizures
The severity of seizures, when exposed to radiation, depends on the radiation dose and type. Those undergoing radiation therapy for diseases, such as brain cancer, might experience mild seizures after treatment. This is usually a short-term problem, and once treatment stops, the seizures will stop.2‘Radiation Therapy Side Effects.’ American Cancer Society | Information and Resources About for Cancer: Breast, Colon, Lung, Prostate, Skin, www.cancer.org/treatment/treatments-and-side-effects/treatment-types/radiation/effects-on-different-parts-of-body.html
Radiation that leads to neurovascular syndrome, however, is more serious. These lead to convulsions. Other symptoms of this syndrome include coma and death.5Acute Radiation Syndrome.
