Subtotal tumor resection as a predictor of post-resection hydrocephalus in pediatric patients with posterior fossa tumors
These findings suggest STR is associated with increased risk of persistent hydrocephalus and emphasize careful intraoperative decision-making when pursuing incomplete resection. Future multicenter studies will be necessary to validate this framework and to further elucidate how STR, in conjunction with age and hydrocephalus severity, can be leveraged to optimize treatment strategies in diverse healthcare settings.
