[Cerebellar tumours in the child. Technic and operative results (author's transl)]

The authors present a series of 95 cerebellar tumours in the child. They discuss the relationship between the clinical syndrome and the histological nature on the one hand and the site of the tumour on the other hand. Favourable operative results, characterised by a very low mortality and by the absence of grave postoperative complications, are attributed to as complete an excision as possible of the tumour and preoperative normalisation of intracranial pressure by the installation of ventriculo-subcutaneous drainage.
