Surgical treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis in the lumbar spine: no reposition without prior decompression.

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...
