title: Posterior fossa ependymomas in adults.
abstract: Sixteen patients with posterior fossa ependymomas are presented. This tumour is relatively uncommon in adults and is usually associated with a relatively "benign" course when compared with other posterior fossa glial tumours. The natural history and treatment of these tumours is discussed.
