[Brain tumors in childhood. Clinical aspects].
The analysis of 76 case histories of children suffering from brain tumor revealed a majority in preschool age. The diagnosis at admission to the hospital was correct in 2/3 of the cases. The main causes for admission among unclear cases were headache, a history of head trauma, and epilepsy. An evaluation is made of the diagnostic value of symptoms, neurological signs, and of auxiliary investigations.
