Low-grade glioma has significant long-term neuropsychological impact on children

Takeaway

  • Infants diagnosed with low-grade glioma (LGG) are at risk for substantial neuropsychological deficits as children and adolescents, on par with that seen in higher-grade tumours.

Why this matters

  • Limited information on long-term neuropsychological outcomes for infants treated for LGG are available.
