The authors report beneficial effects of thiotepa on leukaemic involvement of the central nervous system. The drug was given to 4 children with central nervous system leukaemia refractory to methotrexate and cytarabine. Intrathecal thiotepa caused regression of changes in the cerebrospinal fluid and in the neurological status of these children. No side effects were observed during this treatment.
