Pathways to Diagnosis: The Diagnosis of Brain Tumours

The guideline covers the symptoms and signs that may occur in all children aged 0-18 years with brain tumours, the assessment of children, and indications and waiting times for imaging these children. Recommendations were formulated using the evidence that supported them.  Where no substantial clinical research evidence was identified, formal consensus methods (modified Delphi technique) were used to formulate recommendations.

The guideline is accompanied by an algorithm and quick reference guide and includes key audit criteria and an algorithm.
