Tumors of the Central Nervous System in Children

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Foundations of Neurological Surgery ((FONS,volume 3))

Abstract

In children, primary tumors of the brain are the most common solid neoplasms and are surpassed in frequency only by leukemia [1, 2]. The incidence, location, and natural history of brain tumors in children differ considerably from those in adults. There are significant contrasts between the two age groups in clinical symptomatology as well as temporal progression and outcome for particular tumors. These differences extend to other areas such as tumor morphology and pathology.
