Ependymoma constitute 5 % to 7 % of all primary CNS neoplasm. But their prevalence relative to other tumor type varies with patient age and presenting location. Ependymoma constitute approximately 1O % of intracranial neoplasm in pediatric population and up to 30 % of those encountered in children under 3 years of age. In spinal column, ependymoma constitute 60% of glial neoplasm, and opposed...

Abstract Background The intracranial chondroma is a sporadic type of benign tumor with an incidence less than 0.5% all tumors. Furthermore, this has been reported more frequently at the skull base, falx cerebri, and exceptionally dura, when it happened to be intracranial. Case presentation We report challenging diagnosis successful management rare case dural in 19-year-old student without past ...

Background  The association between spinal cord tumors and hydrocephalus is a rarely reported phenomenon. Diagnosis in this group of patients is difficult as they present with findings of an intracranial pathology and the symptoms of a spinal lesion may be absent. Case Report  We report two cases of spinal cord tumors presenting with visual disturbance and findings of increased intracranial pre...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Our group has developed a patented vaccine platform that combines an mRNA-nanoparticle with CXCL9 loaded polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel. The HCM is given SQ and recruits diverse immune cell population to deliver large payload of mRNA. objective these studies was evaluate the effects vaccination on TME. METHODS C57BL/6 mice underwent intracranial implantation KR158 or G...

E are relatively rare neuroepithelial tumors and account for 3-7% of all central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Among pediatric CNS tumors, ependymomas are the third most common intracranial tumor (6-14%) after juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas and primitive neuroectodermal tumors. The incidence in children is reported to be six times that in adults. Fifty percent of them occur under the age of fiv...

OBJECTIVE The objective of present study was to observe the histopathological pattern of intracranial tumors in children (< 15 yrs) and to correlate the site of lesion along with the histological diagnosis. SETTING The study included consecutive cases of intracranial tumors diagnosed in children (< 15 yrs.) in the section of histopathology at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi during t...

Background: Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) are relatively rare vascular malformations. While the pathophysiology of their formation is unknown, they believed to be acquired lesions related intracranial venous hypertension and dura sinus thrombosis. There have been reports tumors associated with DAVF. Here we complete a systematic search literature. Methods: A PRISMA literature...
