:Pediatric brain tumors are the most common solid tumor and the second most common neoplasm in childhood. Diagnosis is made by CT scan and MR imaging. Treatment includes surgery followed by observation, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. A multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of these children is necessary with nurses and nurse practitioners as the consistent members of the team coordinating care.
