Abstract:
Radiation myelopathy is a well-known complication of irradiation therapy of neoplasms in the vicinity of the spinal cord. In the case presented myelopathy developed after therapeutic Co 60 irradiation of lingual carcinoma on the background of spinal vasculo-dysraphic malformation. The pathogenetic mechanism of necrotic myelopathy in this case is discussed.
