NSRG-09. AN INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP TO DEVELOP A PRE-OPERATIVE SCORING SYSTEM FOR PREDICTING RISK OF POST-OPERATIVE PAEDIATRIC CEREBELLAR MUTISM SYNDROME (CMS) IN CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

摘要

BACKGROUNDCerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) complicates posterior fossa surgery in up to 30% of cases leading to prolonged rehabilitation and most often incomplete recovery and life long disability. This project seeks to develop and validate predictive scoring system based upon imaging characteristics from pre-operative scans to inform the surgical consent procedure.
