description

35 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were studied electroencephalographically during a period of 5 to 10 years (median 9 years) after diagnosis. During this time 51% of the patients intermittently showed changes in the background activity, which may indicate discrete CNS-lesions. All but one patient, suffering from an intracerebral hemorrhage, had normal EEGs at the end of the individual observation period.
