Cerebrovasculopathy following irradiation in childhood.

Symptomatic intracranial vasculopathy developed in four patients following irradiation for central nervous system tumors. All the patients presented with a stroke-like picture from 2 to 22 years after the completion of radiotherapy. Two of the patients showed abnormalities on arteriography consisting of narrowing of the supraclinoid portion of the internal carotid artery and the adjacent proximal anterior and middle cerebral arteries. Although the risks of radiotherapy for central nervous system tumors of malignant potential are outweighed by potential benefit, the risks should be carefully considered in cases of tumors with little or no malignant potential.

Vascular malformations of the pons in children.

Three children reported here and an additional five patients from the literature with angiomas of the pons had a total of 19 clinical episodes of neurologic "illness." Thirteen of these episodes were ictal and six were progressive in onset. The progressive onset was identical with that occurring in patients with tumors of the brain stem. Laboratory and radiographic studies were not uniformly helpful in differentiating this disorder from the more common brain-stem glioma. The survival of these patients varies from several hours to 15 years.
