On the basis of eleven observations in 10 patients carried out by the authors-nine cases of paresis of the brachial plexus, one case of paresis of the accessory nerve and one of femoral nerve--the problems of late paresis due to the irradiation of peripheral nerves are discussed. The development of these nerve lesions are primarily caused by radiation-induced fibroses and vasculopathies in the environment of the nerves. Several series of radiation appear to increase the risk of radiogenic pareses. With the frequently preferred application of megavolt therapy, a further increase in radiogenic nerve lesions may result.
基于作者对10例患者进行的11次观察——9例臂丛神经麻痹、1例副神经麻痹和1例股神经麻痹——讨论了周围神经照射导致的迟发性麻痹问题。这些神经病变的发生主要是由神经周围的放射性纤维化和血管病变引起的。多次放疗似乎会增加放射性麻痹的风险。随着兆伏疗法的频繁应用，放射性神经病变可能会进一步增加。
