Abstract
The central nervous system is the second commonest site of tumour formation in children. In contrast with lethal neoplasms elsewhere, those in the central nervous system very rarely spread to other organs but are dangerous because they invade and destroy adjoining vital centres. Thus the prognosis depends even more on site than on type. The fact that in children these tumours often arise close to the midline structures at the base of the brain limits the extent of local treatment which can safely be given.
