According to the literature, and in our clinical experience as well, primitive neuroectodermal tumors tend to diffusely disseminate into the subarachnoid space, which presents several diagnostic and therapeutic problems. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

    Additionally, a phenomenon known as thalamic pain – where the thalamus overreacts to pain impulses from the contralateral side – has been observed subsequent to a thalamic infarct. [kenhub.com]

The aim of this study was to determine whether clinical and neuroimaging features could guide treatment, and to what extent these features, together with histological diagnosis and treatment modalities, influenced survival. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The thalamopeduncular tumors were mostly pilocytic astrocytomas, which had a good prognosis following surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These are known to have poor prognosis, irrespective of their histopathology. There are two views regarding the origin. [neurology.org]

Jentzsch et al made an effort to correlate the tumor volume response to radiation therapy to the prognosis. [17] They found a post treatment increase in tumor size in 4 patients with low grade gliomas which did not correlate with poor prognosis. [neurologyindia.com]

Increasing tumor grade is associated with poorer prognosis. Molecular profiling is now an important part of glioma classification. An IDH1 mutation carries a significantly improved prognosis over the IDH1 wildtype, no matter the tumor grade. [emedicine.medscape.com]

In the past years, the scientific community is struggling to better understand pathophysiological mechanisms of ventricular pathology including tumors and hydrocephalus. We also try to improve the usage of the current available technology. [surgicalneurologyint.com]
