title: [Intracranial tumors in children (under 15 years)].
abstract: Primary intracranial tumours develop in 30-35 Norwegian children each year. Of these tumours, astrocytomas are the most frequent, followed by medulloblastomas, oligoastrocytomas and ependymomas. In this article we give an overview of tumour classification, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of intracranial tumours in children.
