“…Tumor frequency was higher in the male pediatric population in the two first decades. This finding was in concordance with other studies (Ahmed et al, 2007;Mehrazin et al, 2007;Makino et al, 2010;Asirvatham et al, 2011). The main treatment of brain tumors is radiotherapy, and this is due to different factors like the inability of chemotherapy drugs to reach the brain and the technical difficulties involving surgery (Bock et al, 2010).…”

“…In the infratentorial region, Medulloblastoma was observed in (40.6%), followed by cerebella astrocytoma (31.3%). Nayil found the most common tumour in the supratentorial and infratentorial compartments were craniopharyngioma and medulloblastoma respectively 16 , which support the current study.…”

“…Nayil et al found that 44.75% were supratentorial and 55.25% were infratentorial 17 . In another study, Ahmed et al showed supratentorial in 33.3% and infratentorial in 66.7% 16 . Headache, vomiting, visual disturbances, convulsion, neck stiffness and abnormal gait were found in both Supratentorial and Infratentorial brain tumours but no statistical significant (p<0.05) difference were found between them in this study.…”

“…Similarly, Ahmed and Wilne observed male to female ratio was 2.5:1 and 4:3 respectively 14,15 . In another study, Mehrazin and Yavari found brain tumour of children more common in male children, where the authors found male to female ratio was 1.4:1 16 . In this study it was observed that infratentorial brain tumour (64%) were more common in the children than supratentorials (36%).…”

Background: This study was designed to evaluate the clinical profile and location of brain tumours in children so that brain tumour cases could be diagnosed and managed earlier. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out from April 2011 to April 2012. A total 50 clinically suspected cases of brain tumour and supported by MRI were enrolled in this study. Results: Brain tumour of children was predominant in male where male to female ratio was almost 1.9:1. Supratentorial and Infratentorial brain tumour were found in 36% and 64% cases respectively in children. According to MRI findings in the supratentorial location, craniopharyngioma were commonest (50%) followed by cerebral astrocytoma (22.2%). In the infratentorial region, medulloblastoma was observed in (40.6%), followed by cerebellar astrocytoma (31.3%). Vertigo, weakness of limbs were found in 46.9% and 87.5% cases respectively in infratentorial group which were significantly (p<0.05) higher than supratentorial group. Growth failure and behavioral change were found in 16.7% and 22.2% cases respectively in supratentorial which were significantly (p<0.05) higher than infratentorial group. Papilloedema, reduced muscle power, increased muscle tone, exaggerated deep reflexes, clonus, gait disturbance and cerebellar signs were significantly (p<0.05) higher in infratentorial group. Conclusion: Craniopharyngioma and medulloblastoma were more common findings in MRI evaluation in the supratentorial and infratentorial location respectively. Growth failure and behavioral change were found higher in supratentorial than infratentorial group. Vertigo, weakness of limbs, papilloedema, reduced muscle power, increased muscle tone, exaggerated deep reflexes, clonus, gait disturbance and cerebellar signs were higher in infratentorial group.

Background: Primary intracranial tumors are the second most common type of pediatric malignancies. Brain tumors account for between 15% and 25% of all childhood malignancies; they have poorer survival rates than hematological malignancies. Intracranial tumors differ throughout childhood stages in their histological types, the location of the tumor and gender distribution. The aim of this study was to investigate the histological types of pediatric brain tumors to gender distribution.

Morphological pattern and frequency of intracranial tumors in children

Abstract: Males were affected more than females. A significant male predominance was observed in craniopharyngioma and medulloblastoma. Astrocytoma was the first most common brain tumor in all age groups. Certain tumor types show a predilection for the certain period of life.
