Family, demographic and illness-related determinants of HRQL in children with brain tumours in the first year after diagnosis.

29 Nov 2009 AIMS: To evaluate the relationship between parent- and child-report Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) and demographic, tumour and family variables in children with a brain tumour in the first year after diagnosis and to identify determinants of ... Read more...

Use of 5-aminolevulinic acid for visualization and resection of a benign pediatric brain tumor.

30 Oct 2009 5-Aminolevulinic acid has been used successfully to facilitate resection of adult malignant gliomas. The authors report their experience in the treatment of a 9-year-old girl who underwent fluorescence-guided resection of a right temporal lobe ... Read more...

Collision tumor of anaplastic oligodendroglioma and gangliocytoma: a case report.

25 Oct 2009 A 53-year-old woman presented with a rare case of coexistence of anaplastic oligodendroglioma with gangliocytoma manifesting as progressive disturbance of consciousness and left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium demonstrated ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Brain Neoplasms'

Definition: Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
