The choice of treatment after incomplete adenomectomy in acromegaly: proton--versus high voltage radiation.

abstract：:Ependymomas and tuberculomas are common paediatric posterior fossa lesions in developing countries and may be confused with each other due to some overlapping features. The distinction is important as the treatment for each is entirely different. We have described three young children in whom clinical-radiological fea...
