Neuroblastoma Follow-up by Computed Tomography

Abstract

Abstract

Follow-up by computed tomography (CT) was quite useful in a child with neuroblastoma. Regression of the initial abnormal findings was shown on a second CT scan as reduction of mediastinal mass. Soon thereafter, however, the patient deteriorated clinically. The CT Findings demonstrated progression of the mediastinal expansion as well as multiple organ involvement, supplying significant additional information as compared to conventional X-ray films.
