BACKGROUND: Diagnosis and management of @entity731 complicating radiation therapy for squamous @entity189 ( @entity6461 ) are not well known. CASES: A series of four @entity1 who underwent medical or surgical treatment of radiation-induced @entity455 were identified. @entity432 was seen in one @entity1 7 years after external irradiation for @entity6461 and was treated by a femorofemoral bypass. Acute @entity432 was seen in three @entity1 . One @entity1 developed right foot @entity63 2 years after external irradiation for @entity6461 which was treated by a right axillofemoral bypass. One @entity1 developed a @entity39 2 years after external irradiation for a recurrence of @entity6461 which was treated by a percutaneous @entity384 . One @entity1 developed, 3 years after external irradiation for @entity6461 , a subacute @entity63 of the left leg on the first postoperative day after a rectal resection. It was treated by vasodilators, @entity460 inhibitors, and anticoagulants. CONCLUSIONS: Diagnosis of radiation-induced @entity731 complicating radiation therapy for @entity6461 is easy but treatment is difficult. Long-term results of @entity384 are limited and extraanatomic bypass with allograft is the treatment of choice whenever feasible. However, because of poor long-term results, surgery should be attempted only in the case of severe @entity63 .
