Brainstem gangliogliomas

Pediatric Neurology, 1986
Gangliogliomas are rare neurogliogenic tumors of the central nervous system. Primary involvement of the brainstem is characterized by variable presentations and a long clinical course before diagnosis. Identification of this group of tumors is essential because clinical improvement and prolonged survival have been documented following partial surgical ...

Brainstem gliomas

Child's Nervous System, 2004
Brainstem gliomas have historically been one of the most difficult pediatric cancers to treat. Tumors arising in the brainstem were once uniformly discounted as surgically unresectable lesions. Early neurosurgeons thought this location to be inoperable and fraught with disaster.

Congenital Brainstem Disconnection Associated with a Syrinx of the Brainstem

Neuropediatrics, 2008
We report a case of congenital brainstem disconnection including the second detailed autopsy. A full-term newborn presented with irreversible apnoea and died on the fifth day. MRI revealed disconnection of the brainstem. The autopsy included a series of transverse sections of the mesencephalon, medulla oblongata and bridging tissue fragments. A fragile

Brainstem Gliomas

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1992
Brainstem gliomas, a relatively common form of childhood brain tumor, are highly resistant to therapy. With computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, these lesions can be diagnosed with a high degree of reliability. The indications for surgery are unclear. Focal lesions may be amenable to partial resections.

Brainstem Ganglioglioma

Journal of Child Neurology, 2008
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 hospital complaining of episodes of blurry vision, loss of
