Une consultation multidisciplinaire pour les enfants traités pour une tumeur cérébrale

Abstract: School achievement of children with brain tumors is hampered by progressive neurologic and cognitive sequelae. To help the children and their family, we have created in 1997 a multidisciplinary consultation together with Necker''s hospital. Material and methods: The study describes the organization of the consultation and analyses the files of 69 children seen between September 2001 and June 2002. Results and conclusion: The authors conclude that this consultation is an irreplaceable mean to coordinate the complex rehabilitation process of a child treated for a brain tumor.
