متن کاملSimultaneous supratentorial and brainstem abscesses due to Listeria monocytogenes.

We report the simultaneous occurrence of multiple supratentorial and brainstem abscesses due to Listeria, in a patient under corticotherapy for an exacerbation of ulcerative colitis. MR imaging features before and after successful conservative treatments are depicted. In immunocompromised patients with supratentorial l...

A 37-year-old male had a dorsally exophytic pontine glioma developing from the fourth ventricular fundus, and another 27year-old male an intrinsic nodular mesencephalic glioma. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging clearly visualized the tumor margin in both cases, and showed the relationship between the tumor and ...
متن کاملThe role of ventriculoperitoneal shunting in patients with supratentorial glioma
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of ventriculoperitoneal (VPS) in patients with glioma. METHODS Retrospective review of patients with grade II-IV glioma who had VPS placement from January 1995 to November 2012. RESULTS We identified 62 patients. At time of VPS, 41 had gait disturbance, 40 cognitive impairment and 16 urinary incontinence; 10 had the classic triad. Thirty-eight (61%) improved ...
