Letters to the Editor INFORMATION REQUESTED 28th May, 1968 Editor, RADIOLOGY DEAR SIR: Dr. E. E. Keal and I are preparing a manuscript in which we will report 4 cases of phrenic paralysis following cervical (C3, C4, C5) herpes zoster.

"When do you stop treating the patient incurably ill?" The answers
