This book, written by experts from across the world, provides a
comprehensive, up-to-date overview covering all aspects of
posterior fossa neoplasms in pediatric patients, including
medulloblastoma, ependymoma, cerebellar astrocytoma, atypical
teratoid/rhabdoid tumor, chordoma, brain stem tumors, and rarer
entities. For each tumor type, individual chapters are devoted to
genetics, radiological evaluation using advanced imaging
techniques, surgery, pathology, oncology, and radiation treatment.
In addition, a separate section describes the various surgical
approaches that may be adopted and offers guidance on the treatment
of hydrocephalus and the role of intraoperative mapping and
monitoring. Useful information is also provided on anatomy,
clinical presentation, neurological evaluation, and molecular
biology. The book closes by discussing in detail immediate
postoperative care, the management of surgical complications, and
longer-term rehabilitation and support. Posterior fossa tumors are
the most common pediatric brain tumors but are often difficult to
treat owing to their proximity to critical brain structures and
their tendency to cause marked intracranial hypertension.
Practitioners of all levels of experience will find Posterior Fossa
Tumors in Children to be a richly illustrated, state of the art
guide to the management of these tumors that will serve as an ideal
reference in clinical practice.
