Low-Grade Astrocytoma

We present three cases and review the literature. One case was identified at presentation. A subsequent review of our histopathology database revealed two further cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Fatigue

    It’s also important to understand that even benign tumors can damage brain tissue and cause side effects, such as headaches, fatigue and double or blurred vision. [cancercenter.com]

    Nausea and vomiting Some of the chemotherapy drugs used may make your child feel sick or vomit. We will give anti-sickness drugs at the same time to stop nausea and vomiting. These are usually very effective. [royalmarsden.nhs.uk]

    Early symptoms include: Headaches Blurry vision Seizures Memory loss Nausea and vomiting Changes in behavior Grades and Types Like other tumors, astrocytomas are graded on a scale of I to IV, based on how abnormal the cells look and how fast they grow [webmd.com]

  • Failure to Thrive

    Infants with a brain tumor tend to present with large heads and non-specific symptoms of irritability, vomiting, failure to thrive, and regression of developmental milestones. [childrensmn.org]

    In infants and young children, low-grade astrocytomas presenting in the hypothalamus may result in diencephalic syndrome, which is manifested by failure to thrive in an emaciated, seemingly euphoric child. [cancer.gov]

  • Knee Pain

    A 12-year-old boy was investigated for knee pain and contractures, and was found to have an intraspinal tumor of a lumbar nerve root and a tumor in the tectal region, both low-grade astrocytomas. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hypertelorism

    We report on a child with midline facial defects with hypertelorism (MFDH), median cleft lip, sphenoidal ventriculocele, partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, and low-grade astrocytoma in the cervicomedullary junction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Median Cleft Lip

    We report on a child with midline facial defects with hypertelorism (MFDH), median cleft lip, sphenoidal ventriculocele, partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, and low-grade astrocytoma in the cervicomedullary junction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Headache

    A 21-year-old woman was found to have a non-enhancing right frontal lesion, supposed to be a low-grade astrocytoma according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studied for chronic headache. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    She also has chronic headaches, confusion and ataxia. [clinical-mri.com]

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]

[…] tumors Other studies EEG may be used to evaluate and monitor epileptiform activity ECG and chest radiographs are indicated to evaluate operative risk CSF studies may be used to rule out other diagnoses (eg, metastasis, lymphoma, medulloblastoma) See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

By 12 h of IL-4 treatment, both cdk4 and cdk2 kinase activities against the retinoblastoma protein (pRb) were reduced and nuclear entry of pRb was prohibited. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In 183 short chapters, the book provides the essentials clinicians need on symptoms/signs, diagnostic tests, and neurologic disorders of all etiologies. For this edition, Timothy A. [books.google.com]

Pre-treatment of RTLGA with anti-sense but not missense p21(waf1/cip1) oligonucleotide prior to IL-4: (a) restored cdk activities; (b) reduced cdk4-associated p21(waf1/cip1) levels; (c) prevented p27(kipl) elevation; and (d) reversed growth arrest. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A near-complete resection (less than 10 cc of residual tumor) of low-grade astrocytomas prevents tumor recurrence for longer periods of time. [neurosurgery.ucla.edu]

There is nothing you could have done to prevent this from happening. [ucsfbenioffchildrens.org]

[…] seizure outcome was associated with a short duration of epilepsy before surgery, a single EEG focus, and the absence of hippocampal sclerosis or cortical dysplasia. 26 The authors concluded that tumor resection was indicated for seizure control and prevention [clinicalgate.com]
