title: [Cytostatic therapy in a patient with histologically verified, but not irradiatied, brain stem glioma (author's transl)].
abstract: A boy, aged 8 1/2 years, was operated becuase of a brainstem tumor (polymorph mixed glioma) more than 4 years ago. Because of its dimension and location in the medulla oblongata the tumor was resected only partially. Radiotherapy was refused at that time. A combined cytostatic therapy proved to be successful. The marked neurological symptoms diminished considerably during treatment. The patient (with minor neurological symptoms) has been living a normal and active life for the last 4 years.
