[A multidisciplinary consultation for children with brain tumors].
School achievement of children with brain tumors is hampered by progressive neurologic and cognitive sequelae. To help the children and their family, we have created in 1997 a multidisciplinary consultation together with Necker's hospital.


METHODS
The study describes the organization of the consultation and analyses the files of 69 children seen between September 2001 and June 2002.


CONCLUSIONS
The authors conclude that this consultation is an irreplaceable mean to coordinate the complex rehabilitation process of a child treated for a brain tumor.
