Abstract
CASE REPORT: The authors report a child in whom residual cerebellar astrocytoma after surgical resection was documented on serial computed tomography scans to undergo gradual complete regression spontaneously over a period of 11 years. In this case, the time course of regression has been well documented. CONCLUSION: The time course of regression may provide clues as to the underlying cause of this phenomenon.
