Presentation
Thus, PXA could present with a divergent differentiation, as seen in the present case [19]. [diagnosticpathology.biomedcentral.com]
Seizure is usually the initial presenting symptoms. [intechopen.com]
In contrast to adults, most of whom present with high-grade fibrillary neoplasms, alternate histologies represent most cases seen in the pediatric setting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It has therefore been suggested that surgery facilitates metastasis by opening paths of exit from the CNS not usually available because of the blood-brain barrier, absence of lymphatic drainage, and perhaps raised intracranial pressure.3,4 The present [jamanetwork.com]

Nausea
This may cause headache, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. [fairview.org]
This is called ‘palliative’ treatment and may include using medications to relieve pain, nausea and vomiting. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
Depending on the location, symptoms may include headache, seizures, nausea and vomiting, memory loss, confusion, personality changes, balance problems, speech issues, eye problems, and other symptoms. [nicklauschildrens.org]
Headaches, nausea, or other symptoms may occur. Surgery to remove the tumor is often the main treatment. Radiation and chemotherapy are also options in some cases. Removing all of the tumor often results in a good long-term outcome. [cedars-sinai.org]

Headache
This may cause headache, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. [fairview.org]
Mixed Glioma (also called Oligoastrocytoma): The initial symptoms, including headache and nausea, usually are the result of increased pressure inside the brain. [abta.org]
Depending on the location, symptoms may include headache, seizures, nausea and vomiting, memory loss, confusion, personality changes, balance problems, speech issues, eye problems, and other symptoms. [nicklauschildrens.org]
Headaches, nausea, or other symptoms may occur. Surgery to remove the tumor is often the main treatment. Radiation and chemotherapy are also options in some cases. Removing all of the tumor often results in a good long-term outcome. [cedars-sinai.org]
Seizures are a very common symptom of these gliomas (affecting 50 percent to 80 percent of patients), as well as headache, weakness, or problems with speech. Oligodendrogliomas typically have a better prognosis than most other gliomas. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

Cognitive Impairment
Psychological symptoms such as cognitive impairment, personality changes, depression, anxiety, and memory impairment can also occur. [rarediseases.org]
Workup
Detection of many of the molecular changes that underlie the development of gliomas and other BT can now be done by immunohistochemistry and is getting into the mainstream of the diagnostic workup of BT. [neuropathology-web.org]
Treatment
Therefore, treatment mainly focuses on managing it on a low level. Glioma treatment starts usually with an attempt at glial tumor removal through brain surgery, followed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy treatment. [flymedi.com]
What are the treatments for gliomas? Surgery is the primary treatment for gliomas since surgery is needed for staging. Often, a combination of therapies will be used for treatment, known as multi-modality treatment. [oncolink.org]
Treatment for High-Grade Astrocytomas Treatment for high-grade astrocytomas (Grade III anaplastic astrocytomas or Grade IV glioblastomas multiforme) is surgery, if possible. [webmd.com]
Prognosis
Receiving information about a brain tumour prognosis Different people approach their prognosis in different ways. [thebraintumourcharity.org]
Desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma and ganglioglioma Large tumours involve superficial cortex and leptomeninges, are mostly attached to dura and occur in infants, with a general good prognosis following surgery. [sickkids.ca]
What’s the Prognosis for Those With Gliomas? High-grade gliomas are fast-growing tumors. with a poor prognosis, especially for older patients. [webmd.com]

Epidemiology Descriptive epidemiology largely depends on population-based cancer registries, which record cases according to the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O). [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

The observations of the present case did not completely correspond with any differential diagnosis with regard to epidemiological, radiological, and histological findings. [diagnosticpathology.biomedcentral.com]
Prevention
Further work in two tumor cell lines has indicated that JNK is important for anchorage independent growth and the prevention of apoptosis. [grantome.com]
This probably results from the assembly of microtubules, since colchicine prevents it; moreover ultrastructural examination of the processes confirms the presence of microtubules and microfibrils. [rrjournal.org]
At least partial removal of the tumor and shrinking the swollen brain prevents this progression. Patients improve, and there is time to try other treatments. [dana.org]
No method is known for preventing gliomas or other brain tumors. Types Gliomas come in several types. The category that a glioma falls into depends on the type of glial cell it comes from. These are types of gliomas: Astrocytoma. [columbianeurology.org]
