METHODS: The treatment of 46 cases of pineal regional tumor was retrospectively studied. RESULTS: The CT showed that all patients had postoperative extra-axil cerebrospinal fluid accumulation in 6 hours after operation. 5 cases displayed symptomatic accumulation of extra-axil cerebrospinal fluid. 1 died 30 days aft er discharge, 4 performed S-P shunt and 3 of them switched to V-P shunt after S-P shunt failed.
