چکیده
Background, Ependymal tumors are uncommon in intracranial tumors. origin usually involves an intraventricular localization. Exceptional intraparenchymal extra ventricular locations have been described. We report a case of ependymoma managed our department.
 Description du cas. Une fillette de 8 ans été admise pour une hémiparésie gauche qui progressait depuis deux semaines associée à des maux tête chroniques. L’examen neurologique noté force musculaire évaluée 4/5 dans l’hémicorps gauche. L’imagerie médicale permis mettre en évidence masse pariétale temporale droite volumineuse mixte, intraparenchymateuse, évoquant d’abord un astrocytome diffus (grade II l’OMS). Après excision totale macroscopique, l’histologie et l’immunohistochimie ont conclu qu’il s’agissait d’un épendymome grade l’OMS. Cinq mois après l’opération, le patient était asymptomatique la tomodensitométrie contrôle n’était pas remarquable. suivi 4 ans, est resté asymptomatique.
 Conclusion. Le diagnostic d’épendymome extraventriculaire surprise histologique. L’ablation chirurgicale cette lésion problème. cours satisfaisant l’absence traitement adjuvant (chimiothérapie et/ou radiothérapie).

Ependymoma in supratentorial extra-axial location
E is a common type of pediatric brain tumors (≈10% of all central nervous system tumors in the pediatric age group), it is usually located in the infratentorial compartment and a third of the ependymomas are supratentorial. Of the supratentorial ependymomas, extraventricular ones are rare and usually located in close proximity to the ventricles (some still have connection to ventricle margin). ...

BACKGROUND Neurenteric cysts are congenital cysts of the central nervous system that are believed to be of endodermal origin. In this report we present the unique case of a supratentorial neurenteric cyst that is contained entirely within the brain parenchyma. METHODS A patient presented with an intraparenchymal cystic lesion that was subsequently identified as a neurenteric cyst. This lesion...

AIM To study the outcome and recurrence in supratentorial anaplastic ependymoma. METHODS Sixteen cases of supratentorial anaplastic ependymoma were reviewed. The average age of presentation was 8.2 years ranging from 1 to 16 years of age. The mean duration between the onset of first symptoms to time of presentation was 4.2 months. Follow-up ranged from 5 to 58 months with a mean of 16.8 month...
متن کاملIntracranial periventricular supratentorial intraparenchymal schwannoma
BACKGROUND Intraparenchymal schwannomas in the central nervous system are very rare. Because most of these are benign, complete excision is the treatment of choice. Further, their radiological findings are difficult to differentiate from glioma. Because Schwann cells are not indigenous to cerebral parenchyma, a lot of speculation has been attached to their origin. CASE DESCRIPTION We report o...

BACKGROUND Ependymomas usually arise from the ventricular surface. METHODS We report an 11-year-old female who presented with a supratentorial ectopic ependymoma. RESULTS The patient presented with a two-month-history of progressive headache, nausea and vomiting. Examination revealed papilledema, horizontal nystagmus, diplopia on upward gaze, and right pronator drift. CT scan showed an enha...
