Radiopathological characteristics of cerebellar malignant glioma in adults.

25 Oct 2009 Our aim was to extract the radiopathological features of cerebellar malignant glioma in adults from the four cases we encountered. All four cases (two men and two women, aged 52-80 years; mean age, 67 years) had a floating sensation or vertigo at ... Read more...

Nutritional problems in children treated for medulloblastoma: implications for enteral nutrition support.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to identify the nature and severity of nutritional problems associated with the current treatment of medulloblastoma and to identify any risk factors for nutritional morbidity during treatment. PROCEDURE: A ... Read more...

Treatment of medulloblastoma with hedgehog pathway inhibitor GDC-0449.

31 Aug 2009 Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. Aberrant activation of the hedgehog signaling pathway is strongly implicated in the development of some cases of medulloblastoma. A 26-year-old man with metastatic medulloblastoma ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Cerebellar Neoplasms'

Definition: Primary or metastatic neoplasms of the CEREBELLUM. Tumors in this location frequently present with ATAXIA or signs of INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION due to obstruction of the fourth ventricle. Common primary cerebellar tumors include fibrillary ASTROCYTOMA and cerebellar HEMANGIOBLASTOMA. The cerebellum is a relatively common site for tumor metastases from the lung, breast, and other distant organs. (From Okazaki & Scheithauer, Atlas of Neuropathology, 1988, p86 and p141)
