                                                                                 occlusion


































        A 73-year old man with previous RT for NPC in 1997 complained of dizziness.  He was man-
        aged conservatively in another hospital for known RT-induced carotid stenosis.  Unfortunately
        this type of disease usually had an accelerated progression and this became bilateral occlu-
        sions.  The patient is experiencing dizzy spells and visual disturbances.
