Germinoma with Involvement of Midline and Off-Midline Intracranial Structures
Germinomas are malignant intracranial germ tumors, usually found in suprasellar regions. Less than 10% are localized in off-middle structures, and synchronous involvement of both structures has only exceptionally been published. A case of an 18-year-old male patient with progressive right-sided hemiparesis and panhypopituitarism was reviewed. Brain MRI showed a solid mass involving pituitary an...
متن کاملIntracranial multiple midline germinomas: is histological verification crucial for therapy?
In this report we present two patients with intracranial multiple midline tumours in the suprasellar region and pineal gland. We postulate that in a patient with multiple midline tumours and normal values of the tumour markers human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein in serum and cerebrospinal fluid, the only possible diagnosis is a germinoma. In such a situation no histological confi...
متن کاملEmerging technology in intracranial neuroendoscopy: application of the NICO Myriad.
Improvement in fiber optics and imaging paved the way for tremendous advancements in neuroendoscopy. These advancements have led to increasingly widespread use of the endoscope in neurosurgical procedures, which in turn incited a technological revolution leading to new approaches, instruments, techniques, and a diverse armamentarium for the treatment of a variety of neurosurgical disorders. Sof...
متن کاملNeuroendoscopy for Intracranial Arachnoid Cysts in Infants: Therapeutic Considerations.
Background The use of the endoscope for various cranial procedures is gradually expanding. Intracranial cystic lesions in the brain are one of the most attractive targets for this minimally invasive procedure, thus avoiding conventional craniotomy. These cystic lesions in the brain, namely arachnoid cysts, are congenital. Surgical treatment depends on clinical presentation, location, and age. P...
متن کاملPrimary intracranial germinoma presenting as a central skull base lesion.
We report an unusual case of primary intracranial germinoma involving the sphenoid bone and sinus. To the best of our knowledge, paranasal sinus and bone invasion of primary intracranial germinoma has not been previously reported. Recognition of this rare form of presentation by imaging is important because early radiation and chemotherapy can result in a cure of this neoplasm.
