Abstract
In a premature twin boy (gestational age 34 weeks) two-dimensional echoencephalography, computed tomography, and NMR tomography revealed a brain tumor. The exact diagnosis was confirmed by stereotactic biopsy from the brain. Up to now the clinical course of the child has been surprisingly benign.
