Brain tumors in infancy
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Common brain tumours in infancy (i.e. under one year of age) are quite different from those of brain tumours in adulthood. Most are located in the supratentorial region (~65%) and they carry a poor prognosis.
The frequency of these tumours varies according to studies, but the most common brain tumours include 1-3:
-
anaplastic astrocytoma
(germ cell tumour) -
medulloblastoma
(SHH and Group 3)
