Abstract

The outlook for children with intracranial neoplasms is not uniformly bleak. Fully half of these children have nonmalignant tumors. Treatment for patients with inoperable lesions remains unsatisfactory but may significantly prolong useful function. Knowledge of the wide variety of signs and symptoms produced by brain tumors in children, along with the increased availability of computed tomography, usually enables the physician to make the diagnosis quickly and refer the patient for treatment.
