Abstract:
1. 37 children with M. Hodgkin received radiotherapy to the involved cervical lymph nodes at the II. Children's Hospital in Berlin-Buch during 1971-1986. 2. Localised growth disturbances and muscle atrophies were observed as late effects. 12 children had severe sequelae and 19 patients moderate late effects. 3. The effects were stronger the younger the children were at the time of irradiation.
