A 22 year-old-man with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia had received prophylactic cranial irradiation and intrathecal chemotherapy. Eighteen years later a cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme was diagnosed. The authors speculate about the possibility that this tumor may have been radiation and/or chemotherapy induced. Improvement in neuroimaging techniques, in particular magnetic resonance imaging, has helped charac...
The authors report a case of a young patient with the clinic triad of cerebellar ataxia, retinal dystrophy and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (Boucher Neuhauser Syndrome), of probable autosomal recessive inheritance, in which the brain MRI has a major role to the diagnosis. ; The authors report a case of a young patient with the clinic triad of cerebellar ataxia, retinal dystrophy and hypogonadotropic hypogonad...
The authors report a biopsy proven case of skin and subcutaneous tumour seeding three years after craniotomy for a supra-tentorial multiform glioblastoma in 42 y old male without intracranial recurrence. ; The authors report a biopsy proven case of skin and subcutaneous tumour seeding three years after craniotomy for a supra-tentorial multiform glioblastoma in 42 y old male without intracranial recurrence.
A 61 year old male developed progressive spastic tetraparesis and paresis of the lower cranial nerves (IX, X and XI) after a minor spine-head trauma. Magnetic resonance depicted a partially cystic IV ventricular mass, extending to C1/C2 level. Neuropathology was compatible with choroids plexus papilloma (CCP). This case shows a rare clinical presentation of an infrequent adult tumour. ; A 61 year old male deve...
