Abstract
Between 1 January 1980, and 31 December 1992, 66 patients with cerebellar astrocytoma were diagnosed and treated at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. These patients ranged in age between 1 and 18 years, with a mean age of 7.3 years. Thirty-eight patients were male and 28 were female. Total removal was possible in 61 patients and no recurrence occurred in these 61 patients. In the 5 patients in whom an incomplete resection was carried out, regrowth occurred between 1 and 8 years following resection.Keywords
