title: [The use of the CT-scan in the staging of neuroblastoma in childhood (author's transl)].
abstract: Thirty seven children with neuroblastoma were investigated by CT-scan. Twenty three of them underwent surgery allowing anatomical correlation. CT-scan was of little diagnostic help but proved very helpful in assessing the extent of the tumor: CT-scan and surgery were in agreement in 73% of the operated cases. CT is therefore an accurate means of predicting the operability of neuroblastoma.
