Twenty-three @entity1 with parameningeal (including orbital @entity980 ( @entity980 )) were treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) between July 1971 and January 1983. Twenty were @entity1 with a mean age of 6 and 3 were adults. In 6 @entity1 , the @entity5 was from the orbit, whereas the remaining 17 had other parameningeal primary sites. The @entity5 were in a very progressive local stage, with extensive destruction of the facial bones in 19 @entity1 . Eight @entity1 were treated with T2 chemotherapy protocol and 15 received T6. Seven @entity1 received 5,000 to 7,200 rad delivered to the @entity5 in 11-16 weeks, 15 @entity1 received between 4,500 to 5,000 rad in 4-7 weeks, and 1 @entity1 received 3,000 rad in 3 weeks for residual microscopic disease following surgery. Two @entity1 were treated with radiation to the whole brain; no @entity1 received radiation of the whole central nervous axis (CNA). Fifteen of the 23 @entity1 (65%) are alive and well with a medical follow-up time of 5 years. Two @entity1 died of therapeutic complications and six died of @entity5 spread. In five @entity1 , involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) was the cause of @entity204 . The prognosis of orbital @entity980 with parameningeal involvement is no better than in other @entity5 of parameningeal sites. In those @entity1 who had @entity227 because of @entity1781 prior to treatment, the vision did not improve following treatment. There was no @entity227 seen due to radiation damage of eye structures except in the lens.

XXXX (including the orbit): results of orbital irradiation.
