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...
Post-radiation reactive changes in a single vertebral body mimicking metastatic pineoblastoma.
30 Oct 2009 This 18-year-old woman presented with headache and diplopia over several months and was found to have an enhancing pineal tumor with resultant obstructive hydrocephalus. Following standard preoperative diagnostic tests, including spinal axis ... Read more...
From glioblastoma to gangliocytoma: an unforeseen but welcome shift in biological behavior.
30 Oct 2009 The prognosis in children harboring a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is usually poor. Few GBMs in children, however, seem to respond quite well to adjuvant chemotherapy. The biological basis for such chemotherapy sensitivity remains uncertain. In ... Read more...
