The prevalence of primary tumors of the central nervous system is relatively low,representing only 2% of malignant tumors in adults[]. Medulloblastoma is one of of the most frequent tumors in the pediatric age,its appearance in adults is low,being an extremely rare finding in pregnant women[]. Diagnosis,...
ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the clinical, demographic, anatomopathological, molecular, and survival characteristics of patients with medulloblastoma. Methods: Retrospective study based on patient information obtained from the review of medical records. Overall and event-free survival were analyze...
Congenital medulloblastoma is a rare brain tumor that appears in less than 1% of pediatric patients. Congenital medulloblastoma has a poor prognosis and should be suspected in patients with clinical manifestations of hyporeactivity, slow suction reflexes, and the presence of hydrocephalus. Herein we pres...
Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD), or cerebellar dysplastic gangliocytoma, is a rare type
of cerebellar tumor, from unknown origin. Patients can be asymptomatic for several
years, but there are usually imprecise neurological signs for long periods....
Resumen: Las lesiones del ángulo pontocerebeloso (APC) representan el 6 al 10% de las neoplasias intracraneales, siendo los schwannomas vestibulares y meningiomas los más comunes. Sin embargo, hasta el 15% pueden ser otras lesiones, entre ellas las derivadas a partir de restos de células melanocítica...
Dysplastic gangliocytoma of the cerebellum (DGC) or Lhermitte-Duclos Disease is a
rare lesion (World Health Organization [WHO] grade I) characterized by thickened folia
and replacement of the internal granular layer by abnormal ganglion cells. More
commonly, the compromised patients are young adults pres...
Meningiomas are among the most common central nervous system tumors, with an
incidence that ranges from 15% to 40% of intracranial tumors. Of these, only 0.5% to 3%
are intraventricular, and the rarest of them occurs in the fourth ventricle.
Fourth-ventricle meningiomas originate generally fromthe choroi...
Abstract Several factors trigger the development of genetic mutations that are responsible for causing a neoplasm. Medulloblastoma is a malignant and invasive cerebellar neoplasm, that affects children and young adults. Mucinous carcinoma is a special type of breast cancer. Being a special atypical subty...

Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD), also known as dysplastic gangliocytoma of the
cerebellum, is a rare, usually benign, slow-growing tumor, that commonly affects
patients aged 30 to 50 years-old. The manifestations of dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma
are nonspecific and are related both to the mass effec...
INTRODUCCIÓN: La radioterapia, quimioterapia y la cirugía empleada en el tratamiento de los tumores cerebrales tienen efectos en el eje hipotálamo-hipofisario y pueden resultar en disfunción endocrina hasta en el 96% de los casos. PACIENTES Y MÉTODO: Estudio retrospectivo y descriptivo en paciente...
