[Radiation myelopathy].
The tolerance of the spinal cord to ionising radiation, particularly the influence of dose and fractionation, is discussed in connection with the medical history of two patients with severe neurological abnormalities, irradiated for breast cancer and Hodgkin's disease. Different forms of radiation myelopathy and the requirements for the diagnostic procedure are described.
