Supratentorial ectopic ependymoma.
BACKGROUND Ependymomas usually arise from the ventricular surface. METHODS We report an 11-year-old female who presented with a supratentorial ectopic ependymoma. RESULTS The patient presented with a two-month-history of progressive headache, nausea and vomiting. Examination revealed papilledema, horizontal nystagmus, diplopia on upward gaze, and right pronator drift. CT scan showed an enha...
متن کاملSupratentorial tanycytic ependymoma: an uncommon fibrillary ependymoma variant.
A 6-year-old boy with focal seizures and headache. Diagnostic imaging demonstrated a right subcortical parietooccipital heterogeous expansive lesion, with growth into the adjacent ventricular system (Fig 1). Histological analysis led to the diagnosis of tanycytic ependymoma, as tumor cells have features resembling tanycytes (Fig 2). More than half of these tumors occur in the spinal cord. Supra...
متن کاملRecurrence in supratentorial anaplastic ependymoma.
AIM To study the outcome and recurrence in supratentorial anaplastic ependymoma. METHODS Sixteen cases of supratentorial anaplastic ependymoma were reviewed. The average age of presentation was 8.2 years ranging from 1 to 16 years of age. The mean duration between the onset of first symptoms to time of presentation was 4.2 months. Follow-up ranged from 5 to 58 months with a mean of 16.8 month...
متن کاملPure cortical supratentorial extraventricular ependymoma.
Majority of ependymomas are infratentorial and intraventricular. Supratentorial and purely cortical extraventricular ependymomas are extremely rare and only five cases were reported. We report a 15-year-old male with left frontal cortical ependymoma. He had gross total excision of the lesion and was not given radioptherapy.
متن کاملPediatric ependymoma: biological perspectives.
Pediatric ependymomas are enigmatic tumors that continue to present a clinical management challenge despite advances in neurosurgery, neuroimaging techniques, and radiation therapy. Difficulty in predicting tumor behavior from clinical and histological factors has shifted the focus to the molecular and cellular biology of ependymoma in order to identify new correlates of disease outcome and nov...
