Abstract

Paediatric neuro-oncology in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) accounts for a significant proportion of cancer-related mortalities in this age group. The current dearth of structured paediatric neurosurgery training programmes in LMICs requires multidisciplinary coordination; neurosurgeons play certain key roles, as discussed in this article, in ensuring safe and effective care for paediatric neuro-oncology patients. This document intends to elaborate through illustrative cases of the technical and structural nuances required by neurosurgeons in LMICs to provide appropriate surgical care.
