title: [The prognostic significance of the histological characteristics of cerebellar astrocytomas in children].
abstract: The late term results of surgical treatment of cerebellar astrocytomas in children are compared with the specific features of the histological structure of the tumor and the volume of the surgical intervention. The authors distinguish the prognostically unfavourable characteristics of the histological structure of cerebellar astrocytomas (mitotic figures, even occasional, polymorphism of cells or nuclei, combination of dense cellularity with proliferation of endothelium in the vessels) which determine the prognosis in total or subtotal removal of the tumor. The index "volume of operation" acquires highest prognostic significance in subtotal removal of the tumor. A recurrent tumor develops in all cases after subtotal removal, irrespective of the histological structure.
