Little is known about the neurobehavioral sequale resulting specifically from the resection of these tumors in this population.

The realization that cerebellar lesions produce clinically relevant intellectual disability makes it important to determine whether neuropsychological abnormalities occur in long-term survivors of pediatric cerebellar tumors. Tumors of the cerebellum and brainstem account for half of all brain tumors in children.
