Posterior Fossa mid-line Space Occupying Lesions Diagnosis and Surgical Outcome
Eman Mahmoud Abd El Kareem;
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: posterior fossa tumors are more common in children than in adults. Between 54% and 70% of all childhood brain tumors originate in the posterior fossa. About 15-20% of brain tumors in adults occur in the posterior fossa. Certain types of posterior fossa tumors, such as medulloblastoma, pineoblastoma, ependymomas, primitive neuroectodermal tumors, and astrocytomas of the cerebellum and brain stem, occur more frequently in children.
Aim of the Work: the aim of this study was to review the preoperative diagnostic modalities, surgical procedures, and outcome for different midline posterior fossa space occupying lesions.
