OBJECTIVE
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seeing of high-grade astrocytoma is common, but the early clinical symptoms are not well characterized. Here, we report five patients with disseminated high-grade astrocytoma in the fourth ventricle region who presented with intractable vomiting prior to the
A 2 and a half year-old boy with neurofibromatosis developed unilateral proptosis, decreased visual acuity, and optic disk edema. After the discovery and removal of an optic nerve glioma, the patient had ten years of excellent health until he began having headaches, nausea, and vomiting. He had
We report 3 cases presenting ictal vomiting during partial seizures of temporal lobe origin. Two patients had complex partial seizures accompanying vomiting characteristics. Ictal vomiting occurred early in the course of the seizure when rhythmic discharges involved predominantly the left
Diffuse astrocytoma with bilateral thalamic involvement is extremely rare. We present a case of 10 years old female who presented with decreased mentation, dysarthria, decreased performance at school and later on with seizures. MRI scans were performed twice and were reported as Leigh's disease and
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a dysregulated neurocutaneous disorder, characterized by neurofibromas and café-au-lait spots. NF1 is caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, encoding neurofibromin. Here, we present a clinical molecular study of a three-generation Chinese family with NF1. The proband
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of 24-hour concomitant infusions of etoposide (100 mg/m2/day, days 1-3) and cisplatin (45 mg/m2/day, days 2-3) in the treatment of patients with recurrent astrocytoma. All 36 patients entered on this trial had histologic proof of astrocytoma
OBJECTIVE
To investigate feasibility, activity and toxicity of pre-irradiation chemotherapy (CHT) in patients with newly diagnosed high-grade astrocytoma.
METHODS
Thirty-five patients with glioblastoma multiform (GBM) and ten patients with anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) entered into this study. Three
BOPP chemotherapy regimen was introduced in patients with high-grade astrocytoma after surgery and radiotherapy. There were 10 anaplastic astrocytomas and 19 multiforme glioblastomas. Protocol consisted of BCNU 50 mg/m2, days 1-3, Vincristine 1,4 mg/m2 (max 2 mg), day 1, Procarbazine 50 mg/m2, days
BACKGROUND
In incompletely resected low-grade supratentorial astrocytoma, long-term survival is poor; the effect of any additional treatment to surgery still remains poorly defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the response, the survival, and the benefit of concomitant chemoradiotherapy in
Serous adenocarcinoma of the ovary rarely can present with solitary solid -cystic cerebellar metastasis, mimicking pilocytic astrocytoma. A middle aged women, who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoopherectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy for ovarian adenocarcinoma, presented
The case of a 62-year old man diagnosed with radiation-induced meningioma (RIM) after treatment for astrocytoma with an unusually short latency period of 7 months is reported. The patient first presented with a 2-month history of memory decline. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a tumour in
Acivicin, an antimetabolite which inhibits enzymes necessary for glutamine utilization, was administered to 16 patients with recurrent high grade astrocytoma. The dose was 12 mg/m(2)/day intravenously over 30 min, daily for 5 days to be repeated every 3 weeks. All patients had previously received
In approximately 15% of cases of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), an obvious source of bleeding cannot be identified by angiography; these are considered cases of SAH of unknown etiology. A rare case of cisternal pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) presenting with SAH is reported. The BACKGROUND
Ollier Disease is a sporadic skeletal disorder with a predisposition to oncogenesis. It is estimated at around 1/100,000. We are presenting a young patient with Ollier Disease and high-grade astrocytoma.
METHODS
A 14-year-old, Caucasian male with Ollier Disease presented with a history of
Nineteen patients with biopsy-proven high-grade astrocytomas received as initial treatment whole-brain radiation and combination chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), 1,000 mg/m2/24 h as a continuous infusion for 96 h, and bolus cisdiamminedichloroplatinum II (CDDP), 100 mg/m2. Chemotherapy
