Brain Tumor and Their Biological Behaviors

Abstract

Groves

Intracranial tumors are the second most common group of neoplasms in children, exceeded only by the leukemia’s. The estimated incidence of brain tumors in patients under 15 years aged ranges from 2.5 to 3.5 per 100,000.29,50 there's distinct familial trend in pediatric brain tumors. The inherited neurocutaneous disorders are regularly related to intracranial neoplasms. These are frequently seen with neurofibromatosis; sub ependymal giant cell astrocytoma’s with tuberous sclerosis; capillary hemangioblastom like von Hippel-Lindau disease; and basal-cell nevus syndrome with medulla blastulae. A better incidence of brain tumors has been observed in patients with a robust case history of seizures and stroke. The posterior fossa is that the most frequent location of brain tumors in children in contrast to adults who typically have supertentorial lesions.
