This symposium aims to advance knowledge and skills in pediatric neurosurgical oncology by:
- Presenting current principles and technical nuances in the surgical management of pediatric brain tumors.
- Addressing perioperative challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings, to enhance patient care.
