Pediatric astrocytomas encompass the most common type of brain tumors. Therapy involves surgical resection followed by multimodal therapy which includes one or more of surveillance, further surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. The most common astrocytoma, the posterior fossa pilocytic astrocytoma carries an excellent prognosis, while high-grade gliomas are aggressive tumors with high morbidity. This chapter discusses the spectrum of astrocytomas that occur in the posterior fossa and their management.
