Abstract
A retrospective study of 30 long-term survivors of cranial or craniospinal irradiation for intracranial space-occupying lesions has demonstrated physical and mental handicaps in the majority. This is most severe in those cases treated before the age of 11 years, and is not confined to those children having craniospinal or whole-brain irradiation. The mental handicap also appears to be progressive, but cannot be easily examined in this retrospective study.Entities:
