Contrast enhancement of the irradiated spinal cord in children

H Pettersson, DC Harwood-Nash, CR Fitz, S Chuang and E Armstrong

Four children are reported in whom marked contrast enhancement of the spinal cord and roots was demonstrated by computed tomography months to years after relatively low dose therapeutic irradiation of paraspinal tumors, the radiation field including the cord. This phenomenon, previously unreported, probably represents subclinical radiation injury. None of the children had any neurologic abnormalities.
