We report a retrospective study regarding 6 children with primary epidural non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and analyse the factors influencing prognosis with emphasis on treatment. Four patients were females and 2 males. The neurological condition of patients was assessed pre- and postoperatively according to Shaw's classification for neurological disability. All patients were submitted to surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Histologically, the tumour proved to be a high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in all cases. At follow-up, all patients are alive after a median interval of 52 months (range 24-72 months). This study showed that the outcome of patients depends on the gravity of pre-operative deficits whereas the survival is influenced by the type of treatment.
我们报告了一项关于6例原发性硬膜外非霍奇金淋巴瘤患儿的回顾性研究，并分析了影响预后的因素，重点是治疗。4例为女性，2例为男性。根据Shaw神经功能障碍分类对患者术前和术后的神经状况进行评估。所有患者均接受了手术、放疗和化疗。组织学检查显示，所有病例的肿瘤均为高级别非霍奇金淋巴瘤。随访时，所有患者在中位间隔52个月（范围24 - 72个月）后均存活。这项研究表明，患者的预后取决于术前缺陷的严重程度，而生存则受治疗类型的影响。
