Abstract Introduction Previously irradiated tissue is characterized by changes including decreased vascularity, impaired cellular proliferation, and local hypoxia consistent with fibroblastic atrophy which can persist long after radiation therapy. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of complications arising from these late effects of radiation on normal tissue through enhancing fibroblast proliferation, collagen maturation, stem cell recruitment, and angiogenesis. Methods We report on three patients with debilitating radiation enterocolitis causing issues including recurrent bowel obstruction, anorexia requiring total parenteral nutrition, pain, diarrhea, fecal incontinence, dehydration, and malnutrition. Results In all three cases marked improvement was the outcome with hyperbaric treatment. Conclusion Hyperbaric oxygen therapy should be routinely considered in the treatment of radiation-induced enteritis or colitis.

Introduction: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an excellent option for the treatment of numerous central nervous system diseases. There exist several forms of SRS, including gamma-knife surgery (GKS) and cyber-knife surgery. The most significant complication of SRS is the delayed effects of therapeutic radiation, also known as radionecrosis. The current treatment options for radionecrosis have a significant side effect profile and posit challenges for medical management. More recently, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) has emerged as an option for treatment with minimal side effects. Methods: We present a retrospective case series examining ten patients treated with HBO2 after receiving radiotherapy. Of these cases, six were treated with GKS, two were treated with cyber-knife surgery, and two with Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Results: In all ten cases, the patients reported significant improvement in clinical symptoms. Conclusions: These cases demonstrate the efficacy of HBO2 as a treatment for cerebral radionecrosis.
