Treatment planning is similar to that of other low-grade gliomas, and stereotactic techniques are generally used to minimize the setup error given the intention of minimizing brain exposure to radiation in this population that generally has a long survival.Lucas, John T....
Tumor cysts, scoliosis, and bone erosion/scalloping may be present.38 Maximal surgical resection is the optimal treatment for spinal cord gangliogliomas. Complete or near complete resection is associated with excellent long-term survival and minimal morbidity.11,38 Postoperative radiotherapy is not ...

No adjuvant treatment was given. Thirteen years after surgery, the patient is symptom free. Histological examination revealed a pleomorphic tumor involving the meningeal space and the cortex. Meningeal portion was made of neoplastic astrocytes enmeshed in a dense network of connective tissue. The ...
Ganglioglioma (GG) is a rare kind of intracranial tumor with low potential malignancy (WHO grade I), which could occur in any part of the brain. However, a patient with anaplastic ganglioglioma (WHO grade III) in the medulla oblongata is a more peculiar and rare clinical case. In our repo...

classically localize in the cerebral hemisphere but may involve deep structures like the basal ganglia, brain stem, and cerebellum, which seems to be particularly frequent in the pediatric population, implying further challenge to achieve adequate oncological control with surgery as the only treatment ...
The patient received courses of steroid treatment that improved her neurological symptoms, suggesting an inflammatory component of her disease. Extensive workup for an inflammatory or infectious etiology was unfruitful and two brain biopsies were inconclusive. A third biopsy showed atypical glial nuclei, ...
