Mixed neuronal/glial neoplasms represent a minority of intracranial neoplasms, typically associated with a more favorable prognosis than the more common higher-grade glial neoplasms. We describe a young man with headache, confusion, and slurred speech who was found to have a ganglioglioma.
BACKGROUND
Gangliogliomas are rare tumors of the central nervous system. We report two unusual cases of gangliogliomas located in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA).
METHODS
The first patient was a 57-year-old woman, who presented with dizziness and harbored a non-enhanced heterogeneous mass located
BACKGROUND
Anaplastic gangliogliomas at the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) are exceptionally rare with only a few reported cases in published literature. These are composed of atypical ganglion cells and astrocytes accounting for nearly 1% of all central nervous system tumors. The authors report the
We present 11 patients with intracranial gangliogliomas. The age ranged between 4 and 69 years with a mean of 32 years. The most frequent clinical manifestations were epilepsy in 7 cases and headache in 4 cases, and had begun from 15 days to 12 years before diagnosis. The gangliogliomas were located
We report a case of de novo malignant ganglioglioma. A 61-year-old male presented with a 12-day history of headaches and general malaise. Pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging revealed an irregular enhancing mass in the left temporal lobe with associated dural enhancement and subacute subdural
A 13-year retrospective review of 17 patients with gangliogliomas treated at the University of Iowa was conducted to investigate the association between tumor location, extent of resection, pathological findings, and patient prognosis. Thirteen were in the cerebral hemispheres and 4 in the midline.
We report a case of multiple gangliogliomas of the optic pathway in an 18-year-old boy. He presented with visual disturbance mainly in his left eye, non-specific headaches, and episodes of sensory disturbance in his left arm. Visual acuity was 6/9 and 6/24 in his right and left eye respectively. He
BACKGROUND
Gangliogliomas involving the optic nerve or chiasm are extremely rare tumors, which can be confused radiologically with other neoplasms. α-[N-methyl-11C]-methylaminoisobutyric acid (11C-MeAIB) is a new artificial amino acid positron emission tomography (PET) tracer, which is metabolically
UNASSIGNED
Anaplastic posterior fossa ganglioglioma in adults is exceedingly rare. To date, only one case of adult anaplastic posterior fossa ganglioglioma has been reported in the English literature and none has been described at the cerebellum. To our knowledge, this report is the third case of
We report a case of anaplastic ganglioglioma. A 45-yr-old woman was admitted with a 5-month history of headache and dizziness, both of which progressed slowly. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging revealed a strong enhancing mass in the left frontal lobe extending to the cingulate gyrus. Adjuvant
We describe a rare case of desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma that appears to have transformed into a glioblastoma multiforme tumor in a 5-year-old girl. The patient was initially treated with total removal of the tumor, without subsequent radiation therapy or chemotherapy. She was in good health
BACKGROUND
Primary intracranial anaplastic gangliogliomas are rare tumors in the pediatric patient group. Most of them present with symptoms of elevated pressure or symptomatic epilepsy. Extraaxial location is far more common than axial location. On MRI examination, they mimic pilocytic
This report presents a rare presentation of a ganglioglioma in the sellar/suprasellar region. On the basis of the patient's presentation and imaging characteristics, the initial diagnosis was craniopharyngioma. While gangliogliomas are already rare brain tumors that are usually found Gangliogliomas of the lateral ventricle are unusual tumours of the central nervous system. We report a 25-year-old female who presented with a 4-week history of generalized headaches associated with left-sided blepharospasm. Clinical examination revealed bilateral papilloedema but no focal
