| Popis: | Twenty-six children in continuous complete remission from leukemia or lymphoma and no longer receiving chemotherapy were studied to determine the long-term sequelae in visual, auditory and vestibular function. Ophthalmologic examination revealed cataracts in five patients and an abnormality in the retina in one patient. These abnormalities were not associated with any disturbance of visual acuity. By otorhinolaryngologic examination, slight hearing loss was observed in five patients and an abnoormal righting reflex in one patient. The etiologies of these abnormal findings in visual, auditory and vestibular function were discussed. |
