The Department of Paediatrics at the University Central Hospital of Turku, Finland has 130,000 children under 17 y of age within its catchment area. We collected all 103 cases of newly diagnosed CNS tumours from the 15-y period of 1981-95. The incidence was 5.3:100,000, a figure twofold those usually presented. During the period 1981-85 the incidence was lower (4) than during the subsequent 5-y periods (5.7 and 6.2). There were no statistical differences between the incidences of the supra- vs infratentorial brain tumours. Optic glioma was unusually common (17%, CI 13.9-20%).
