Radiation myelopathy. Four case reports
2002
Chronically progressive (permanent) radiation myelopathy is a serious complication to irradiation of head/neck carcinoma. We describe four patients who developed stationary neurological deficits with a considerable reduction in function. One patient received a radiation dose below 50 Gy and the others up to 58 Gy against the cervical medulla. One patient developed an intramedullary syrinx.
