title: [Chronic progressive radiation myelopathy].
abstract: Radiation dose absorbed by spinal tissue in 4 cases of chronic progressive myelopathy was analysed so that the criteria could be established for choosing cases in which myelopathy was to be presumed. Nevertheless, neither regressive nor vascular lesion was found in 10 autopsies fitting the criteria. The fact was explained by individual variability or other unknown factors.
