Abstract
Serial spinal somatosensory evoked potentials were recorded in 6 patients undergoing radiotherapy [for neoplastic conditions] involving incidental spinal radiation. Two patients developed transient radiation myelopathy. No abnormality was found in the somatosensory evoked potentials throughout the study.Keywords
