    Abstract:
    For ten-years of period, between 1973-1982, 81 cases with intracranial ependymoma have been operated in H.U.T.F. Neurosurgery Department. Supratentorial localisation have been found in 24 cases (30%), and infratentorial in 57 (70%). 80% of the patients in supratentorial group and 91% in infratentorial group were under the age 20. In supratentorial group 79% were in paraventricular localisation, and 21% were intraventricular. In infratentorial group 70% of the cases were localised within the IV. ventricle, 20% in province of the tentorial roof, 5% in the lateral recessus and 5% into cerebellum. The 40 patients who were followed up were rated according to the localisation and the grades of the tumors, the type of the surgical intervention and chemotherapy with respect to the postoperative survival. As a result only the total resection of the tumor was found to be significant.
