Computed axial tomography in intracranial neoplasms in children

The computed axial tomographic (CAT) findings in 22 children with intracranial neoplasms are presented. CAT offers a rapid, non-invasive method of assessing the locality and extent of these tumours, as well as the presence of calcification and hydrocephalus. CAT is of value in the follow-up treatment, but an absolute histological diagnosis is not always possible.
