| Popis: | We measured pulmonary function in 21 patients, after craniospinal irradiation with a posterior spinal electron beam. The median age at treatment was 7.5 years. Nine patients (43%) demonstrated abnormal pulmonary function tests, five with restrictive changes, one with isolated diminished diffusion capacity, and three with obstructive disease. These changes were mild and predominantly asymptomatic. |
