Summary

We investigated 12 children (6 boys, 6 girls, average age 14.6 years) operated on for a posterior fossa tumor, by means of EEG, ENG, blink reflex and CT. Whereas CT scans show the anatomical situation (tumor, defect), the blink reflex can give hints as to the site of disturbances in brain stem pathways and ENG of those in cerebello-vestibular ones.
