Synchronized multiple regression of diagnostic radiation-induced rather than spontaneous: disseminated primary intracranial germinoma in a woman: a case report
INTRODUCTION Examples of the spontaneous regression of primary intracranial germinomas can be found in the literature. We present the case of a patient with disseminated lesions of primary intracranial germinoma which synchronously shrunk following diagnostic irradiation. We will discuss whether this regression was spontaneous or radiation-induced. CASE PRESENTATION A 43-year-old Japanese wom...
متن کاملBifocal primary intracranial germinoma in a child. Case report
Germ cell tumors located in the central nervous system (CNS) represent less than 4% of the intracranial tumors and affect primarily children and young adults. These tumors frequently arise in the suprasellar and pineal region and in the midline structures around the third ventricle. Germ cell tumors can be divided as germinoma and nongerminomatous tumors regarding the histology. Only 5-10% of a...
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.
متن کاملTREATMENT OF SPONTANEOUS INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGE USING UROKINASE
Twenty patients with intracranial hematoma (ICH or IVH) were treated with direct infusion of urokinase through a catheter. Reduction of hematoma volume was observed within a few days. Twelve patients showed good or excellent outcome. No infection or rebleeding was observed.
متن کاملSpontaneous Regression of an Unruptured and Non-Giant Intracranial Aneurysm
It is well known that spontaneous thrombosis in giant cerebral aneurysm is common. However, spontaneous obliteration of a non-giant and unruptured cerebral aneurysm has been reported to be rare and its pathogenic mechanism is not clear. We describe a case with rare vascular phenomenon and review the relevant literatures.
