Mielite por radiação crônica progressiva tipicamente se apresenta muitos meses após a conclusão da radioterapia. Períodos de latência variam entre 1 mês a 13 anos, com intervalos mais curtos usualmente vistos com altas doses de radiação e na população de faixa pediátrica. Há tendência para causar comprometimento sensitivo progressivo nos membros inferiores seguida por mielopatia progressiva. O tratamento é feito com corticosteróides, mas isso apenas resulta em melhora temporária. Há geralmente necrose secundária e atrofia da medula espinal por causa de vasculopatia. | |||
