Atypical Chordoid Glioma of the Third Ventricle: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chordoid gliomas are unusual tumors that are found in the anterior third ventricle and are slow growing. Till now approximately 55 cases of chordoid gliomas of the third ventricle are reported in world literature. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies show isointense in T1W and isoto hyperintense tumor in T2W with distinguished intense contrast enhancement and commonly hydrocephalus. These tumors are not always amenable to complete resection due to attachment to the nearby important structures.1,2 Postoperative radiotherapy is advocated in residual tumors.1 Early as well as late recurrences are seen in cases of subtotal resection.1,2

Chordoid Glioma with Intraventricular Dissemination: A Case Report with Perfusion MR Imaging Features
Chordoid glioma is a rare low grade tumor typically located in the third ventricle. Although a chordoid glioma can arise from ventricle with tumor cells having features of ependymal differentiation, intraventricular dissemination has not been reported. Here we report a case of a patient with third ventricular chordoid glioma and intraventricular dissemination in the lateral and fourth ventricle...

Chordoid glioma is a rare tumor exhibiting both glial and chordoid features. This entity is generally considered to occur exclusively in the region of the third ventricle, however, that arising in the lateral ventricle is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of lateral ventricular chordoid glioma in a pediatric patient. Additionally, relevant literatures were reviewed. An intracranial space...
متن کاملExpanded Endoscopic Transnasal Approach to the Chordoid Glioma of the Third Ventricle : The First Case Ever Reported
Chordoid glioma of the third ventricle is a rare and challenging tumor to surgery because of its unique anatomical location and its close juxtaposition to the neurovascular structures and hypothalamus. The authors report a case of chordoid glioma of the third ventricle in a 43-year-old woman, who presented with headache and somnolence. The tumor was approached by endoscopic transnasal technique...
