Summary

The purpose of this study is to better understand why some children with cancer have difficulty speaking after brain surgery. Difficulty speaking may be due to known complications to the language centers in the brain. These language centers may be located in slightly different places in different people. This study will study which areas may be damaged.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	MRI with DTI and fMRI	When possible, the subject will undergo a post operative fMRI/ DTI scan as well as clinical language testing. If the subject develops CMS, the second fMRI will be performed as soon as possible. Some subjects may be severely impaired or have difficulty performing fMRI and clinical language testing tasks. In these instances, the fMRI and language testing may not be performed, or we may choose to perform resting state or passive fMRI tasks instead.
