abstract background histologically confirmed meningiomas in first year of life are quite rare. however, review of the sporadic cases in the literature reported meningioma in infants. those have unique features in common. case presentation an 11 month-old iranian male infant presented with a several weeks history of decrease in movement of his right sided upper and lower extremities. brain mri r...

background although magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) has been shown as an effective diagnostic tool in distinguishing inflammation from neoplasm in cystic brain lesions, the optimum approach in selecting the portions of lesions in mrs and the possible effects of different times of echoes (tes) remains unknown. objectives to determine the most effective te in diagnosing neoplastic lesions b...

abstract background cerebral neoplasm arises from brain, spinal cord and meningeal cells. not only malignant cerebral neoplasm also benign tumor could lead to death due to mass effect on vital structures. access to these tumors is difficult, and mri and ct scan could be helpful in determining anatomical location of tumors and distinction of malignant from benign. objective for better and earlie...

in this study tsga10 has been demonstrated as a testis-specific human gene that encodes a protein localized in sperm-tail and conserved in ciliary structure. further investigations showed tsga10 signalling and expression during embryogenesis, brain development and some malignancies including brain tumors. given the role of this protein in neuronal development and in certain tumors, it could pot...

abstract objective tumors of the central nervous system constitute the largest group of solid neoplasms in children and are second only to leukemia in their overall frequency during childhood. the main purpose of the present study is to determine the incidence, age, sex, location and histological diagnosis of cns tumors in children, less than 15 years of age, in the mofid children's hospital, i...

syringobulbiais very rare condition defined as slit-like fluid cavity in the brain stem. several conditions have been reported to be associated with syringobulbia including neoplasms, spinal cord traumas or lesions such as tethered cord, hind-brain herniation, infections such as meningitis and in isolation.although post-traumatic syringomyelia has been wieldy described previously, traumatic bra...

introduction: meningioma is a benign and slowly-growing tumor that is responsible for 20% of brain neoplasms. it can be accompanied by some genetic disorders such as neurofibromatosis type 2 and is more common among women. as a space occupying lesion, it produces a wide range of signs and symptoms by compressing the adjacent and underlying tissues in the brain. trauma and viruses are possible e...

ABSTRACT Brain tumours are the commonest solid neoplasms in children, accounting for one quarter of all childhood cancers. Our growing knowledge basic developmental mechanisms has significantly contributed to understanding pathogenesis these and is beginning impact clinical decisions on how children with diseases treated.
