Brain tumours are the commonest solid tumours of childhood; 145 patients under the age of 14 years with intracranial tumours treated between 1979 and 1985 are presented. Of the tumours 63% were situated in the posterior fossa while 37% were supratentorial. Medulloblastomas accounted for 25% of the entire series. Modern methods of treatment are outlined.
