title: [Vertebral angiography and tumours of the posterior fossa in children. 29 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: With reference to 29 cases of tumours of the posterior fossa, the authors attempt to place the value of vertebral angiography amongst other diagnostic techniques and in particular in relation to ventriculography using iodised hydrosoluble contrast media. Whilst recognising the diagnostic possibilities offered by vertebral angiography, they feel that, in many cases, opacification of the IVth ventricle is necessary and that angiography does not therefore form part of the routine pre-operative assessment of such tumours.
