Subependymal Giant Cell Astrocytoma Presenting with Tumoral Bleeding: A Case Report
We report a rare case of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) associated with tumoral bleeding in a pediatric patient without tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). A 10-year-old girl presented with a 2-week history of an increasingly aggravating headache. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed an approximately 3.6-cm, well-defined, heterogeneously enhancing mass with multistage hemorrhages...
متن کامل[Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (tuberous sclerosis)].
Two cases of tuberous sclerosis with subependymal giant cell astrocytoma are presented. This rare autosomal dominant disorder was also detected in family members of the patients who had never had any symptoms of cerebral involvement. Both patients underwent surgery because of signs of increased intracranial pressure.
متن کاملSubependymal giant cell astrocytoma associated with tuberous sclerosis: with special reference to cell kinetic studies--case report.
The authors report a case of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma associated with tuberous sclerosis in a 15-year-old boy. Computed tomographic scans showed a large intraventricular mass with peritumoral calcification and a cyst in the left lateral ventricle. Left dominant unilateral hydrocephalus was also revealed. Magnetic resonance images clearly demonstrated the lesion. The tumor was subtota...
متن کاملEverolimus for subependymal giant cell astrocytoma: 5‐year final analysis
OBJECTIVE To analyze the cumulative efficacy and safety of everolimus in treating subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGA) associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) from an open-label phase II study (NCT00411619). Updated data became available from the conclusion of the extension phase and are presented in this ≥5-year analysis. METHODS Patients aged ≥ 3 years with a definite diagno...
متن کاملErk activation as a possible mechanism of transformation of subependymal nodule into subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.
INTRODUCTION Subependymal nodule (SEN) and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) are brain lesions frequently found in tuberous sclerosis (TS). As about 10-15% of SENs enlarge and transform into SEGAs, we examined here the possible mechanism of the phenomenon. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using Western blot we studied 1 SEN and 3 SEGA samples; SEN and 1 SEGA came from the same TS patient. We eva...
