Subependymoma

Clinical presentation, radiological, and pathological studies of this case of subependymoma are presented. The incidence of spinal subependymoma was also discussed in light of a literature review. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Coronary Atherosclerosis

    Coronary atherosclerosis and mild cardiac hypertrophy were present as the only pathologic changes outside the central nervous system. The cause of death is discussed in light of earlier reports on brain tumours and sudden fatal incidents. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Overeating

    Over half were entirely intraventricular, 6 extended into brain substance and 2 into subarachnoidal cisterns. Twelve were isodense, 15 showed diffuse but irregular enhancement, and 5 contained nodular calcification. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Highlights of this edition include over 6,800 images of remarkable quality, more color images, and new information using advanced techniques, including perfusion and diffusion MRI and functional MRI. [books.google.ro]

  • Nausea

    She had a 2-month history of progressive headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Computed tomography revealed hydrocephalus for which a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was inserted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Eye Movements Abnormal

    More recently, he developed progressive eye movement abnormalities. On examination, he had right partial cranial nerve (CN) VII and right CN VIII palsies, nystagmus, right-sided dysmetria, and hyperreflexia. [ajnr.org]

  • Low Back Pain

    We report a case of a 61-year-old male who presented with a 3-year history of low back pain, associated with right lower limb progressive weakness and sensory numbness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Sexual Dysfunction

    They often present clinically with pain and neurologic symptoms, including motor, sensory, urinary, and sexual dysfunction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Two years later, with hormone replacement therapy (desmopressin, hydrocortisone, levothyroxine, testosterone undecanoate) there was no sexual dysfunction. [endocrine-abstracts.org]

    The severe symptoms include fatigue, numbness, weakness and sexual dysfunction which was reported by all patients. [cern-foundation.org]

  • Headache

    She had a 2-month history of progressive headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Computed tomography revealed hydrocephalus for which a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was inserted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Long Tract Signs

    Patients with intraspinal subependymomas initially presented with back pain and long-tract signs. The tumors were hyperintense on T2-weighted MR imaging, isointense on T1-weighted imaging, and noncontrast enhancing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Results Patients with intraspinal subependymomas initially presented with back pain and long-tract signs. The tumors were hyperintense on T2-weighted MR imaging, isointense on T1-weighted imaging, and noncontrast enhancing. [doi.org]

  • Altered Mental Status

    The patient developed sudden onset of headache and altered mental status followed by complete resolution, likely due to intermittent hydrocephalus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Exertional Headache

  • Dysphasia

    Note the absence of perilesional edema, and the lack of contrast enhancement Because the patient suffered progressive clinical decline, characterized by dysphasia and paresis of the lower extremities, we placed a ventriculostomy to control his malignant [surgicalneurologyint.com]

Conclusions: The case is an educative example about the necessity to keep possible intracranial lesions in mind when starting the workup of a patient presenting with erectile dysfunction. [endocrine-abstracts.org]

[…] tumors are isointense or slightly hypointense to the surrounding spinal cord on T1-weighted images; most tumors are hyperintense to the spinal cord on T2-weighted images Other diagnostic modalities that may be helpful include the following: EEG See Workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

  • HLA-DR2

    She was positive for HLA-DR2. At autopsy there was a tumour dorsal to the fourth ventricle which involved the midbrain tectum and rostral pons. Histologic examination of the tumour confirmed it to be a subependymoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Consequently, we explore the SEER database to evaluate prognostic and treatment factors associated with intracranial subependymoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although radical removal is considered the rational goal of treatment, larger experience is necessary to know both the rate of growth and prognosis of subependymomas when these tumors arise within the spinal cord. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Tumors, attached to the floor of the fourth ventricle carry the worst prognosis, because of the location. A mixed ependymomasubependymoma carries a worse prognosis than a pure subependymoma. [ependymomas.com]

This case lends support to the notion that some subependymomas are reactive in etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Subependymomas have been described with features identical to this case, however, since these commonly present as non-enhancing intraventricular lesions [5,7], it was felt to be a less likely etiology. [sciforschenonline.org]

Subependymal astrocytoma; Subependymal astrocytomas Overview Subependymoma is a type of brain tumor; specifically, it is a rare form of ependymal tumors. [1] Subependymoma is a benign ( WHO grade I ) tumor, which is slow growing and non-invasive. [2] Pathophysiology [wikidoc.org]

In adults and adolescents, 75% of ependymomas arise within the spinal canal, with a significant minority occurring intracranially in the supratentorial compartment. [12] Pathophysiology Ependymomas are traditionally thought to arise from oncogenetic events [emedicine.medscape.com]

Surgical extirpation is one of the treatment options to establish the correct diagnosis and to prevent symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
