Incidental brain tumors in children: an international neurosurgical, oncological survey.

Management recommendations for IPBT varied among the responders and seem to be influenced by many factors. However, stable lesions lead to a shift in management towards a "watch and wait" approach, while in growing lesions responders tended towards a "biopsy" or "resection" approach. This highlights the need for better understanding of the natural course of incidental brain tumors in children, as well as evaluating the potential risk for malignant transformation.
