Astrocytomas are the most common group of childhood brain tumors. Approximately 20% of these lesions are histologically malignant tumors that often prove fatal within 2 years of diagnosis, despite the use of surgery and conventional radiotherapy.

We performed this study to correlate the clinical and radiographic features at the time of presentation with the multimodality treatments the children received. Medical records were reviewed for children with craniopharyngiomas who presented to the Ch...... hiện toàn bộ
