Abstract
Real-time, MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) is emerging as a minimally invasive technique for epilepsy surgery and for deep-seated tumors in the pediatric population. However, MRgLITT for posterior fossa lesions poses a unique challenge that is especially evident in this age range and remains understudied. In this study, we report our experience and analyze the current literature on MRgLITT for the treatment of posterior fossa in children.
