RESUMO
A sixteen-years-old boy with a brain-stem neoplasia inducing coma was treated with chemotherapeutic agents. It resulted in dramatic clinical and instrumental improvement; radiologic findings were evaluated, showing decreasing dimension of intracranial mass. Brain-stem auditory evoked potentials were highly sensitive. We think that chemotherapy can be considered among the options a physician can offer to such a patient explaining informed consensus.
