Intracranial tumour: an analysis of thirty-eight cases in children

Abstract

In this Thesis I intend to give the Analysis of Thirty-eight Cases of Intracranial Tumour in Children which came under my observation, either directly or indirectly, during four years at the Infirmary for Children, Liverpool.I would emphasise the fact that I have no intention of writing a treatise on the subject, but simply of giving the cases as I found them. In some matters, indeed, the statistics and my observations differ from those recorded in the standard textbooks.The cases, a list and the general particulars of which are in the frontispiece, were all taken without selection as they came to the Infirmary. The fact that I was able to obtain post-mortem examinations of thirty -six of these adds to the value and interest of the analysis as such.
