Neurosurgical treatment of low-grade cerebellar astrocytoma in children and adolescents: a single consecutive institutional series of 100 patients

Abstract

Low-grade cerebellar astrocytoma is a surgical disease, in need of long-term follow-up, but with excellent long-term results. Nine percent of the children in this study underwent repeated surgery due to progressive tumor recurrence, and 15% were treated for persistent hydrocephalus.
