title: Pediatric skull, skull base, and meningeal tumors.
abstract: Calvarial neoplastic and non-neoplastic tumors are routinely encountered by all neurosurgeons. Benign and malignant skull base and meningeal tumors are relatively rare lesions in children. Interdisciplinary approaches to those tumors more frequently encountered in the pediatric population in these locations are discussed. Unique aspects of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for infants and children are discussed.
