Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma (DIG) is a rare supratentorial tumor in the central nervous system. Definitive diagnosis of this neoplasm is based on histopathologic analysis evaluating distinctive findings such as the fibroblastic differentiation. Here we present a clinical case of DIG with a
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
A 5-year-old boy presented with a 7-month history of headache and projectile vomiting. Computerized axial tomography revealed a large, high density lesion involving the entire left frontal lobe. At operation a 330-g, apparently encapsulated, mildly cystic neoplasm was removed from the region of the
Gangliogliomas are relatively rare tumors of the CNS in which ganglion cells and neuroglia coexist. 13 cases are reported, representing 0.61% of a series of 2,121 patients undergoing biopsy for CNS tumors. The clinical, radiological, pathological, electron microscopical and immunohistochemical
A case of cerebellar ganglioglioma is reported. A 22-year-old female was admitted to the Kurume University Hospital on August 19, 1985, suffering from headache, vomiting and gait disturbance. On admission, neurological examination revealed staggering gait and the right cerebellar ataxia showing
In this retrospective study we evaluated the efficacy of interstitial brachytherapy (IBT) using (125)Iodine seeds ((125)I) for intracranial ganglioglioma WHO I. Between October 1994 and March 2010, eight patients (m/f = 5/3, median age 30.4 years, age range 7-42.5 years) with intracranial
Gangliogliomas are usually benign slow-growing neoplasms, seen mainly in the first 3 decades of life and are prevalently located supratentorial, mostly in the temporal and frontal lobe. The authors present a rare case of a brainstem ganglioglioma in an 11-year-old boy who was referred to their
We present the case of a 8-years-old boy, admitted with a history of headache, nausea and vomiting. Cerebral angiography showed a non-vascular mass on frontal lobe. The patient underwent craniotomy and the lesion was removed. Neuropathological study revealed that the tumor was a ganglioglioma. The
UNASSIGNED
Anaplastic ganglioglioma is a rare malignant brain tumor associated with high morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of a central nervous system malignancy in the early 3rd trimester presents management challenges to both neurosurgeons and obstetricians.
UNASSIGNED
A 33-year-old woman,
OBJECTIVE
Gangliogliomas (GGs) are rare central nervous system tumors occurring primarily in the supratentorial compartment with infratentorial instances most often involving the brain stem. Infratentorial GGs typically present with signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure (ICP),
OBJECTIVE
Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most frequent solid tumors in children. Twelve to twenty percent are diagnosed in patients younger than two years of age and these patient present more morbidity and mortality due to the illness and the treatment itself.
METHODS
A retrospective
BACKGROUND Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is caused by a rare slow-growing mass in the cerebellum. LDD generally is experienced by young adults, but also it has been encountered in the pediatric population. Lhermitte and Duclos first described cerebellar dysplastic gangliocytoma in 1920. The first
A 51-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of double vision and numbness around her left ear. She subsequently became unsteady on her feet and developed further cranial nerve abnormalities, before complaining of headache, nausea and vomiting. Imaging revealed features suggestive of two
OBJECTIVE
To characterize clinical and interictal electroencephalographic aspects of children and adults with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) due to tumoral lesions.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical and interictal electroencephalographic aspects of 16 children (64 exams)
This is an update of the review originally published in 2011 and first updated in 2015. In most people with low-grade gliomas (LGG), the primary treatment regimen remains a combination of surgery followed by postoperative radiotherapy. However, the optimal timing of radiotherapy is
