Intrinsic brainstem tumors in childhood: surgical indications.
Journal of Neuro-oncology 1988 December
Sixty-six children with intrinsic brainstem gliomas diagnosed between 1980 and 1986 underwent radical surgical resection. Retrospective analysis permitted classification of tumors into four categories: diffuse, focal, cystic and cervicomedullary. All 27 patients with diffuse tumors had malignant neoplasms, were not benefitted by surgery and died within 12-18 months. Five of nine cystic tumors, three of five focal tumors and twenty of twenty-four cervicomedullary tumors had low grade histopathology and are alive one to six years postoperatively. The authors propose a clinical-neuroradiological criteria that accurately predict which patients with brainstem tumors are likely to benefit from radical surgical intervention.
