Abstract
• The value of computerized tomography (CT) of the head in childhood leukemia is emphasized by a striking example. The response of the leukemic infiltrate to radiation suggests that an earlier (presymptomatic) scan might have led to major improvement in management. A routine CT scan may be warranted in children with a prolonged remission in search of a CNS reservoir for leukemia cells.
