摘要
Thalamic tumors are rare tumors which are usually diagnosed in the pediatric age group. Although recent developments in neurosurgical practice allow more radical treatments, information about outcome is scarce for these deep-seated challenging tumors. Medical records of 45 pediatric patients who presented with thalamic tumors between 1999 and 2012 were reviewed. Prognostic implication of tumor characteristics and patient variables are discussed. Although challenging, recent innovations in the field of neurosurgery and refinements in technique may prolong survival in some cases.
