  • Title: Serial neuropsychological studies of a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and subsequent glioblastoma multiforme.
    Author: Mulhern RK, Wasserman AL, Kovnar EH, Williams JM, Ochs JJ.
    Journal: Neurology; 1986 Nov; 36(11):1534-8. PubMed ID: 3020477.
    Abstract:
    A 10-year-old boy had a right posterior parietal glioblastoma 5 years after completing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Interim findings included seizures, leukoencephalopathy, diffuse mineralizing microangiopathy, and abnormal changes in neuropsychological test performance, which, in retrospect, provided information about the location of the tumor. This case highlights unusual sequelae of childhood leukemia and its treatment, as well as the value of neuropsychological procedures in assessing functional status and integrity of the brain.
