摘要:

Multicentre gliomas are a welt recognized entity but the occurrence of such tumours both above and below the tentorium remains uncommon. We report the case of an 11-year-old boy who underwent stereotactic biopsy of a brain stem ring enhancing tumour with histology of an anaplastic astrocytoma (Grade 3). Nine months following his radiotherapy a large left frontal mass was biopsied and found to be a malignant glioma (Grade 4). Advances in neuroradiological imaging will readily show multiple cerebral lesions and multicentre glioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of such lesions and biopsy is indicated.

摘要:

A case of extradural haematoma as the presenting feature of an arachnoid cyst is described. Haemorrhagic complications of arachnoid cysts are well known, but extradural haematoma is rare. A possible pathogenetic mechanism is proposed and the treatment of asymptomatic arachnoid cysts is discussed.

摘要:

A case of lymphocytic hypophysitis (LYHY) in a menopausal woman is presented. A review of the literature suggests that conservative treatment may be tried in suspected cases of LYHY, if the vision of the patient is not threatened. A transphenoidal stereotactic biopsy of the mass may be performed if the patient fails to improve or deteriorates, thus avoiding open exploration of the sella in selected cases.

摘要:

We describe the occurrence of a medulloblastoma and an astrocytoma in successive generations of a family with the Gorlin syndrome. The appearance of thousands of invasive basal cell carcinomata after craniospinal irradiation led to the death of one patient from intracranial involvement.

摘要:

The effect of therapy on aphasic syndromes in patients with brain tumours is poorly documented. A case in which resection of a metastatic lesion led to resolution of a fluent dysphasia that had not responded to corticosteroid therapy is presented. As well as surgical and neurolinguistic interest this case demonstrates that CT diagnosis of malignant glioma can be erroneous and may lead to sub-optimal treatment.
