148 @entity1 under the age of 5 have been identified from the files of the National Cancer Registry of the GDR. They all had @entity5 of the central nervous system (CNS), which were histopathologically diagnosed in the period 1975 to 1980. Additional information concerning their health status and diseases was collected from birth history, postnatal care-unit files, out- and in- @entity1 medical records and other sources. Based on these materials the time of clinical onset of the disease has been elucidated. In 12 of the 148 @entity1 the onset was in the perinatal period and in another 36 during the first year of life. 1,322,450 births took place in the GDR in the index period. The incidence of @entity5 of the CNS with onset of signs and symptoms prior to the end of the first year of life was 3.6 per 100,000 births. The most common type of @entity5 was @entity816 , with an incidence of 0.9/100,000. It is followed in frequency by other @entity4969 and by intracranial @entity44 . No @entity1653 or @entity977 had their onset in infancy. The conclusion is drawn that the incidence of @entity4969 is almost the same in newborns and @entity1 as it is in older age groups. The findings contradict the genera view, that CNS @entity5 in @entity1 are very rare.
