A Pilocytic Astrocytoma Mimicking a Clinoidal Meningioma
Pilocytic astrocytomas and meningiomas are benign, primary brain tumors that may involve the optic tract. Classically, the presence of a dural "tail" sign may differentiate a meningioma from other intracranial lesions. In this report, we describe a mass with the typical appearance of a clinoidal meningioma on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but postoperatively diagnosed as a pilocytic astrocyt...
متن کاملSpinal Seeding of Cerebellar Pilocytic Astrocytoma and Spontaneous Regression of Tumor: a Case Report
Cerebellar pilocytic Astrocytoma is a benign tumor, acounts for 80% of all cerebellar Astrocytoma, and has a relatively good prognosis. This tumor usually presents with Ataxia and in the case of hydrocephaly with raised intracranial pressure signs such as headeach, and vomiting. Treatment of this tumor is complete resection and if hydrocephally is present V.P. shunt should be inserted. In the c...

متن کاملGiant cystic intradural extramedullary pilocytic astrocytoma of Cauda equina
Astrocytomas of Conus-Cauda equina region are rare. Astrocytomas, which are intramedullary tumors, may rarely have an extramedullary component. However, primary intradural extramedullary astrocytomas are extremely rare, with very few cases reported in the literature. We describe a giant extramedullary pilocytic astrocytoma of Cauda equina in a 20-year-old male. To the best of our knowledge, thi...
متن کاملPilocytic astrocytoma and pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma: glioneuronal tumors or variants of ganglioglioma?
Neoplasms of the central nervous system (CNS), when examined macroscopically, may be circumscribed or diffusely infiltrating. Circumscribed glial and mixed glial-neuronal neoplasms include, among others, pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) and ganglioglioma (GG). Besides being circumscribed, these neoplasms share several similarities: they affect mostly children, ado...
