A Rare Cause of Hydrocephaly: Tectal Glioma

Tectal gliomas are a distinct form of pediatric brainstem tumor usually present with increased intracranial pressure. The tumor may arise from different origins and the most common histologic form is low-grade astrocytoma. We would like to remind and emphasize why it is important to report a tectal glioma in magnetic resonance imaging reports giving two case samples.

Brainstem Glioma in Adults

Brainstem gliomas are not nearly as common in adults as they are in children. They are likely the final common consequence not of a single disease process but of several. They can be difficult to diagnose, and are challenging to treat. Clinical studies of this diagnosis are few and generally small. Because of these factors, our understanding of the biology of adult brainstem glioma is incomplet...

Diffuse brainstem glioma: prognostic factors.

OBJECT Brainstem gliomas were regarded as a single entity prior to the advent of MRI; however, several studies investigating MRI have recognized that these lesions are a heterogeneous group, and certain subgroups have a better prognosis for long-term survival. The aim of this study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of prognostic factors of patients with brainstem gliomas confirmed by hist...

Mitochondrial DNA Mutations, Pathogenicity and Inheritance

Mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA), which codes for 13 proteins (all subunits of the respiratory chain complexes), 22 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs. Several mtDNA point mutations as well as deletions have been shown to be causative in well-defined mitochondrial disorders. A mixture of mutated and wild type mtDNA (heteroplasmy) is found in most of these disorders. Inheritance of mtDNA is maternal, a...
