Steinbok, P., Poskitt, K., & Hendson, G. (2006). Spontaneous regression of cerebellar astrocytoma after subtotal resection. Child's Nervous System : ChNS : Official Journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 22(6), 572-576. doi:10.1007/s00381-006-0058-y
Abstract
CASE REPORT: The authors report a child in whom residual cerebellar astrocytoma after surgical resection was documented on serial computed tomography scans to undergo gradual complete regression spontaneously over a period of 11 years. In this case, the time course of regression has been well documented. CONCLUSION: The time course of regression may provide clues as to the underlying cause of this phenomenon.
