The authors' experience with DT imaging indicates that anatomically intact fibers may be present in abnormal-appearing areas of the brain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The presenting symptoms were those of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage or brain tumor. The pathology underlying spontaneous bleeding from a cerebral neoplasm is reviewed and diagnostic suggestions discussed. [thejns.org]

Here, we report a case of a 12-year old female patient who presented in outpatient clinic with a short period history of headache and seizures. A CT scan showed a large right sided frontal space occupying lesion with areas of calcification. [ijp.iranpath.org]

Workup
Specific testing may also be warranted based on symptoms and exam findings: these include audiology for acoustic neuroma, lumbar puncture for abnormal tumor cells, endocrine workup for hormonal abnormalities, and electroencephalogram for suspected seizure [now.aapmr.org]
The patient had an unremarkable collagen vascular workup. There was also no evidence of an infectious or drug-induced cause of vasculitis. [ajnr.org]

AMYLOIDOSIS Case Examples 14i and 14ii: Amyloidoma After the initial clinical and radiologic workup, the lesion in case 14i was thought to be a schwannoma of the fifth nerve, which would fit the imaging features and presentation. [archivesofpathology.org]
Treatment
Treatment for cerebral tumors will be dependent on tumor type and grade and will be influenced by symptoms and goals. Treatment addresses the effects of the disease as well as side effects of cancer therapies. [now.aapmr.org]
Research interests include the evaluation of treatment for alcohol problems in specialist and generalist settings and, in particular, treatment for addicted healthcare professionals. [books.google.com]

Prognosis
PMID: 476715 See all (1) Prognosis High-grade cerebral neuroblastoma: a case study. Wyche M, Stokes BA, Shepherd JM, Kakulas BA, Ojeda VJ Med J Aust 1989 May 1;150(9):505-7. PMID: 2542739 See all (1) [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis will be determined by tumor type and tumor grade. In general GBM has the most grave prognosis with median survival of about 1 year depending on age, tumor size, and extent of surgical resection. [now.aapmr.org]
Prognosis 5-year survival: 40-50% 10-year survival: 47-68% Better prognosis: Young age Infratentorial Gross total excision Low-grade histology 52. II. [slideshare.net]
Key message: Ependymomas are a group of CNS tumours with moderately good prognosis, though higher grade tumours have slightly poorer survival. The prognosis for spinal ependymomas is better than that for cerebral tumours. [ncin.org.uk]

Although the cause of this disorder is unclear, a viral etiology, as well as an association with lymphoma, has been reported (2, 3). [ajnr.org]
