title: [Effects of the use of cranial radiotherapy. Findings obtained by computerized axial tomography and intellectual function tests].
abstract: Authors report their brain computerized axial tomography findings (CAT) and intellectual performance, in fourteen children treated with cranial radiotherapy either as part of conventional prophylaxis with intrathecal methotrexate use in malignant lymphoproliferative processes or as treatment for a primitive cerebral tumor. They comment on myelinating leukoencephalopathy and neuropsychologic sequelae that can appear.
