title: [Microsurgical treatment of tumors and vascular lesions in the brain stem].
abstract: The authors present their experience with microsurgical replacement of brainstem lesions within the period 1989-1999. They operated on 35 patients with tumors and with KM? at age ranging from 2 to 65 years. The children suffered prevailingly from gliomas. KM was more frequent in adults. Ten adults were treated for tumors (4 gliomas, 3 haemangioblastomas, 2 primary lymphomas and 1 epidermoid). A correct surgical technique by use of microsurgical technology can replace relatively safely replace the tumor and vascular lesions even from the inside of the brainstem.
