Presentation
However, the presentation of endocrine deficits remained. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Burning Pain
A 40-year-old female presented with intermittent burning pain and progressive numbness in both legs of 8 months duration. On admission, mild incomplete voiding was noted. [neurologyindia.com]
Eyes
- Diplopia
[…] malignant histological nature of the tumor is very important because this nature affects the prognosis, though not as significantly as the extent of tumor resection. 3 Case Report Presentation We present an 11-year-old female with an 8-month history of diplopia [pagepress.org]
- Abnormal Eye Movement
We report a 6(1/2) -year-old girl who had suffered poor weight gain, irritability and progressively worsening abnormal eye movements since approximately 2 months of age. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We report a 6½ -year-old girl who had suffered poor weight gain, irritability and progressively worsening abnormal eye movements since approximately 2 months of age. [link.springer.com]
Ears
- Hyperacusis
A 25 year old man presented with tinnitus and hyperacusis. Brain MRI revealed a mass occupying the fourth ventricle. We performed partial resection, but no adjuvant therapy was given. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] reported case of PMA in an adult, with the first case presenting in an adult male who also presented with a seizure but the tumor was located in the right amygdala/uncus region; [1] the second presented in an adult male who presented with tinnitus and hyperacusis [cancerjournal.net]
- Ear Fullness
In the year prior to her current presentation, the patient had been having paroxysmal attacks consisting of SOB, ear fullness, feeling of impending doom, and a sense that her "hands are frozen" without a loss of consciousness; episodes she called anxiety [cancerjournal.net]
Neurologic
- Truncal Ataxia
A 3-year-old boy with Williams syndrome associated with supravalvular aortic stenosis was admitted to our hospital with disturbance of consciousness and a 2-month history of truncal ataxia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Expressive Aphasia
On examination at an outpatient clinic, the patient had a slight expressive aphasia but was otherwise neurologically intact. [surgicalneurologyint.com]
Workup
Sawyer had done such a thorough workup at home they knew what it wasn't, so they started other tests. Within 24 hours we had the news. They showed us the MRI and what had been the problem all along—Matthew had a brain tumor." [cmnsanangelo.org]
Other Pathologies
- White Matter Lesions
Radiographic studies with contrast revealed an enhanced mass within the optic nerve, an enhanced lesion in the leptomeninges, and diffusely scattered nonenhanced white matter lesions in the craniospinal axis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
In addition, the current treatment options and research endeavors involving this disease are described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
High IMP3, as assessed by immunohistochemistry, has potential use as an additional predictor of poor prognosis in pediatric PA/PMAs and warrants evaluation in larger cohorts. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the absence of other identifiable etiologies for his sudden bradycardia, his cardiac symptoms were attributed to intracranial hypertension secondary to the obstructive hydrocephalus caused by the vermian lesion. [surgicalneurologyint.com]
For the majority of astrocytoma, the etiology is unknown. Children with a familial cancer predisposition have an increased risk for developing both low grade and high grade gliomas. [childrensmn.org]
The etiology of pilocytic astrocytoma remains unknown in most cases. Pilocytic astrocytomas may occur in the context of neurofibromatosis type I in which the optic pathway is a typical site of origin. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
Despite the fact that most of PMAs occur in the hypothalamic region, high awareness should be given to lesions in unusual locations, thus expanding the current epidemiologically known locations for this tumor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
