Abstract

ABSTRACT
Background: Brain tumours are the second commonest tumours in children,
and are associated with high mortality rate. A large number of these brain
tumours are undiagnosed, until they increase to considerable size, due to the
expansible nature of the skull in the infants, and the capacity of the
developing brain to compensate for neurological deficits. Most have nonspecific neurological features. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is
the radiological investigation of choice. The management of paediatric brain
tumours entails multidisciplinary measures. Objectives: This is aimed at a
general review of the management of paediatric brain tumours. Materials
and methods: This study involved a review of existing literatures using
several search engines such as Google scholar, Hinari, Scopus, Pubmed and
other research tools. The search word was 'paediatric brain tumour, and also
another search was addition of 'Nigeria' to the earlier search words. Results:
Atotal of 59 articles were seen which discussed childhood brain tumours, but
39 articles addressed paediatric brain tumours. Each was thoroughly
reviewed and used in the framework of this manuscript. Conclusion:
Paediatric brain tumours are heterogenous group of tumours, and presents
with varied clinical features and most requires a multimodal approach of
treatment.
