Abstract
✓ The author reports the long-term results of combined conservative surgery and radiotherapy in the treatment of three patients with infiltrating papillary ependymomas Of the cauda equina. Seventeen to 20 years later they have relatively minimal complaints and dysfunction. This long benign course emphasizes the folly of attempting radical removal with its potential for serious mutilation of the cauda equina.
