Posterior Fossa Tumors in Children

This essential medical reference provides a thorough examination of pediatric posterior fossa tumors, covering the full spectrum from common diagnoses like medulloblastoma and ependymoma to rarer entities such as atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors. Drawing on global expertise, the book systematically addresses each tumor type through dedicated chapters on genetics, advanced imaging techniques, surgical approaches, pathology, and both oncological and radiation treatments. The comprehensive scope makes it an invaluable resource for understanding the complete clinical picture of these challenging childhood brain tumors.

What sets this work apart is its meticulous organization by tumor pathology rather than by medical specialty, allowing clinicians to follow the entire management pathway for each specific diagnosis. Neurosurgeons, pediatric oncologists, and radiation specialists will find particularly valuable the integrated approach that connects genetic markers to imaging findings and treatment protocols. For any medical professional confronting these complex pediatric neurosurgical cases, this volume offers the multidisciplinary perspective needed for optimal patient care decisions.
