An up-to-date, comprehensive review is given of all basic science and clinical aspects of intracranial cysts in paediatric patients. These aspects come from fields such as embryology, epidemiology, developmental physiology, clinical medicine, therapeutics and psychology. Each chapter is organized along classical lines: from an introduction through symptoms and treatment to the prognosis for clinical material; from the introduction through history and data to the results and discussion for experimental material.
