Abstract Purpose Posterior fossa tumour (PFT) surgery carries a risk of mutism or severely reduced speech. As for higher-cognitive language functions, word-finding difficulties have been reported, but no study has compared pre- and postoperative speeds to identify impairment caused by surgery. The current investigated changes in ability associated with PFT examined factors affecting ability. Method We included 184 children aged 5:0–17:9 years undergoing assessed before after using speeded...
Central nervous system tumours constitute 25% of all childhood cancers; more than half are located in the posterior fossa and surgery is usually part therapy. One most disabling late effects tumour cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) which has been reported up to 39% patients but exact incidence uncertain since milder cases may be unrecognized. Recovery incomplete. Reported risk factors type, midline location brainstem involvement, aetiology, surgical other factors, clinical course strategies...
Abstract Purpose Posterior fossa tumour surgery in children entails a high risk for severe speech and language impairments, but few studies have investigated the effect of on prior to surgery. The current crosslinguistic study addresses this gap. We prevalence preoperative word-finding difficulties, examined associations with medical demographic characteristics, analysed lexical errors. Methods included 148 aged 5–17 years posterior tumour. Word-finding ability was assessed by means...
