Abstract
The functional capabilities of children following treatment of brain tumors have been stated to be at or near normal in most cases. We have studied intellectual, emotional, and major sensory alterations in children with primary brain tumors. Twenty patients have undergone extensive neuropsychologic assessments: 15 following surgery and irradiation, 3 following surgery prior to irradiation, and 2 prior'to irradiation (no surgery). There are 14 male and 6 female ranging from 1 9/12 to 14 11/12 years old (median 5 a/i 2 years). Primary tumors include cerebellar astrocytomas (5), medulloblastomas (4), cerebral astrocytomas (4), thalamic gliomas (3), cerebellar mixed gliomas (2), and pineal tumors (2).
