Abstract

Primary brain tumors are the most common solid tumor and cause of cancer-related deaths in children. Their clinical presentation depends on the age of the child and the location of tumor. Tumors in infancy often present with nonspecific symptoms, while focal neurological symptoms are more evident in older children. In this article, we review the most common acute neurological effects of pediatric primary brain tumors and their treatments.
