Brain tumors in pediatric patients at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre.
We report our experience with brain tumors in pediatric patients, patients who came to our attention when they were aged 14 years or less. In general, the pattern of brain tumors at this Institution is similar to that reported in the neurosurgical literature. Fortunately we have modern diagnostic technology and modern operating instrumentation available to use for dealing with such lesions, which are often in their late stages.
