Congenital brain tumor is a rare disease in the neonatal period. According to the literatures, they comprise only about 1% of childhood brain tumors. Among the congenital brain tumors, 10%-25% are astrocytomas. Anaplastic astrocytoma is one of the malignant glioma. The prognosis is usually not good in the childhood or adult stage. We report one case of congenital anaplastic astrocytoma who received combination chemotherapy, including vinblastine, cisplatin and etoposide following subtotal resection of tumor. After chemotherapy, he got a favorable outcome. And now, he is still no evidence of tumor recurrence for two years.
