Abstract
The analysis of neuropsychological sequelae in children with brain tumors is a major concern in the debate for the definition of the therapeutic strategies. The authors review the recent literature in this field in the light of their own experience at the Gustave-Roussy Institute. Three main risk factors emerge from the analysis: radiation, age and surgical complications. The need for a longitudinal evaluation in these patients is emphasized in order to plan the subsequent appropriate readaptation.
