TY - JOUR T1 - Hypothalamic gliomas in children JF - Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry JO - J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry SP - 1047 LP - 1052 DO - 10.1136/jnnp.37.9.1047 VL - 37 IS - 9 AU - Clifford Roberson AU - Kenneth Till Y1 - 1974/09/01 UR - http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/37/9/1047.abstract N2 - Twenty children with gliomas of the hypothalamus were studied. Management was by radiotherapy alone, or operative treatment with or without radiotheraoy, and in some cases treatment was withheld entirely. One half of the children died within one year of presentation, whereas the remainder are alive and well after many years. An attempt is made by analysis of the results to determine when surgery or radiotherapy or a combination of the two may appropriately be employed in the management of this condition. ER -
