Abstract Purpose To examine long‐term visual impairment and visual field examination (VF) after diverse treatments for paediatric optic pathway glioma (OPG), and to determine prognostic factors for long‐term severe visual impairment or blindness. Methods A nationwide retrospective cohort study (1995–2018) was performed on paediatric OPGs that received ...

LZTR1 molecular genetic overlap with clinical implications for Noonan syndrome and schwannomatosis
Background Noonan syndrome (NS) is a genetic disorder characterized by developmental delays, typical facial gestalt and cardiovascular defects. LZTR1 variants have been recently described in patients with NS and schwannomatosis, but the association ...

Pseudoglandular Schwannoma With FUS::KLF17 Fusion: Broadening the Spectrum of FUS‐Associated Tumors
ABSTRACT We present a case of a 51‐year‐old male with a pseudoglandular cellular schwannoma arising from the brachial plexus, which contains the expected molecular aberrations for a schwannoma (chromosome 22q loss encompassing the NF2 and LZTR1 genes) as well as a FUS::KLF17 rearrangement.

Fatal Tension Hemothorax Combined with Exanguination: A Rare Complication of Neurofibromatosis [PDF]
Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a common autosomal dominant disorder that can be subdivided into type 1, type 2, and schwannomatosis. Patients with NF1 typically develop café-au-lait spots, scoliosis, and benign neurofibromas.

Changes in multi‐gene cancer panels for children: A 4‐year retrospective review
Abstract The multi‐gene panel is the most utilized genetic test to evaluate for germline cancer predisposition syndromes. However, the rate of change of commercial multigene panels is not well understood, and its value as a standalone test has also not been investigated.

ABSTRACT Background Malignant rhabdoid tumors occasionally develop along cranial nerves, but clinical, histopathological, and molecular features have not been examined in larger series. Procedure We retrospectively interrogated data from the European Rhabdoid Registry, EU‐RHAB, to identify malignant rhabdoid tumors affecting cranial nerves.

Quality of Life Outcomes in Vestibular Schwannoma: A Prospective Analysis of Treatment Modalities
One of the first prospective cohort studies looks at quality of life (QOL) outcomes for the three main treatment modalities for vestibular schwannoma. In our study, we found comparable long‐term disease‐specific QOL outcomes, which will allow clinicians to more accurately counsel patients before making life‐changing treatment decisions.

Simple schwannomatosis or an incomplete Coffin-Siris? Report of a particular case
Background: Schwannomatosis is a genetic disorder that belongs to NF family. The mutation of SMARCB1 gene has been related to this entity and Coffin-Siris syndrome, as well. We reported a case of a female patient with SMARCB1 mutation who has developed a

Schwannomatosis: a genetic and epidemiological study
ObjectivesSchwannomatosis is a dominantly inherited condition predisposing to schwannomas of mainly spinal and peripheral nerves with some diagnostic overlap with neurofibromatosis-2 (NF2), but the underlying epidemiology is poorly understood. We present the birth incidence and prevalence allowing for overlap with NF2.MethodsSchwannomatosis and NF2 ...
