Zusammenfassung:A retrospective study of 30 long‐term survivors of cranial or craniospinal irradiation for intracranial space‐occupying lesions has demonstrated physical and mental handicaps in the majority.

The mental handicap also appears to be progressive, but cannot be easily examined in this retrospective study.
