  • Title: Computed tomography in infants and children: intracranial neoplasms.
    Author: Berger PE, Kirks DR, Gilday DL, Fitz CR, Harwood-Nash DC.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1976 Jul; 127(1):129-37. PubMed ID: 180824.
    Abstract:
    Cranial CT proved exceptionally accurate in detecting and localizing cerebral neoplasms in children, with only one false negative case in 40 tumors. CT had its greatest diagnostic value in cerebral and cerebellar hemispheric lesions, tuberous sclerosis, and as a screening device for craniopharyngiomas. While CT may provide a definitive diagnosis, additional information form other neuroradiologic studies is often necessary.
