A clinical and pathological review of 43 cases of cerebellar astrocytomas in children and young adults was undertaken. Thirty-one of the 36 surviving patients were examined by computed tomography. Twelve patients with asymptomatic tumour were detected. Histology was necessary to identify the higher risk "diffuse" group, but no histological features helped to identify tumours liable to recur. Improvements in the prognosis may occur with long term CT scanning.
对43例儿童和青年小脑星形细胞瘤进行了临床和病理回顾。36例存活患者中有31例接受了计算机断层扫描检查。发现了12例无症状肿瘤患者。组织学检查对于识别高风险的“弥漫性”组是必要的，但没有组织学特征有助于识别易复发的肿瘤。长期CT扫描可能会改善预后。
