We describe an 89-year-old woman who presented with an abrupt onset of headache and right hemiparesis. With the initial diagnosis of cerebral infarction, we started therapy using sodium ozagrel. The right hemiparesis worsened, however, and a continuous intravenous heparin injection showed no effect.
An unusual case of brainstem glioma is described. The distinctive features were long duration (at least six months) of headaches preceding the appearance of neurological signs, and the intermittent, paroxysmal nature of the symptoms, often precipitated by postural change. The mechanism of headache
Objective The objective of this study was to analyse the prevalence and the clinical features of headache as a presenting symptom of glioma. Methods We interviewed 527 consecutive adult patients with histologically confirmed glioma, admitted to the Regina Elena National Cancer Institute between 2010
BACKGROUND
Tectal gliomas commonly present with hydrocephalus from obstruction of the aqueduct of Sylvius. The creation of a ventriculostomy in the floor of the third ventricle (ETV) has been previously reported to by-pass aqueduct obstruction. The goal of this study was to determine the safety and
A 2 and a half year-old boy with neurofibromatosis developed unilateral proptosis, decreased visual acuity, and optic disk edema. After the discovery and removal of an optic nerve glioma, the patient had ten years of excellent health until he began having headaches, nausea, and vomiting. He had
We report the case of a twelve-year-old boy who presented with visual impairment and headache and was found to harbour a purely intrasellar cystic pilocytic astrocytoma originating from proximal left optic nerve. The mass was explored transcranially and decompression of the optic apparatus and
BACKGROUND
A good performance status at diagnosis is a prognostic factor in patients with malignant glioma whose median survival is 24 months. As early diagnosis may improve their poor prognosis, we looked for currently unknown initial symptoms among patients in good performance status.
METHODS
We
BACKGROUND
Cluster headache (CH) is a primary headache by definition not caused by any known underlying structural pathology. However, symptomatic cases have been described. The evaluation of CH is an issue unresolved.
METHODS
A 41-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of side-locked attacks
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the role of rotating gamma system (RGS) radiosurgery for low-grade brainstem gliomas.
METHODS
Thirty-seven patients undergoing RGS radiosurgery at the Bach Mai Hospital Hanoi for low-grade brainstem glioma were included in this prospective interventional study. The median RGS
A total of 45 cases were studied to elucidate the variation between CT scan findings and histological diagnosis of intracranial glioma. They were operated and histopathological examination of all cases was studied. The mean age of the patients were 35+/-2.37 years and ranged from 01 to 65 years. The
We present a very rare case of 7 year-old-girl who had a pontine glioma with supratentorial meningeal involvement. She complained severe headache with meningeal irritation. She showed fluctuating cranial nerve impairment of the both abducens and glosopharyngeal nerves but no signs of weakness or
The aim of this study was to describe adult patients' experiences of falling ill and being diagnosed with low-grade glioma. Information concerning such experiences is lacking in the literature. The study population were adults identified within a well-defined population. Interviews were conducted
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is recognized to cause headaches that typically but not invariably have orthostatic features (present in upright posture, relieved by recumbency). Head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) typically shows diffuse pachymeningeal enhancement. A 24-year-old woman, after
Retrospective analysis of 27 patients of thalamic glioma including adults and children treated over a period of 7 years from 1991-1997 was done. The study group included 19 males and 8 females; 9 patients were less than 15 years and 18 patients more than 15 years of age at the time of diagnosis. The
Introduction: This study presented pediatric DIPG 's biopsy with frameless Neuronavigation.
Patients and methods: We report our experience about 10 patients who had Diffuse
