The Subependymoma is derived from subependymal astrocytic cells. In the present work we report 3 patients: 1 patient with data of endocranial hypertension, and two with neurological focus and spinal involvement. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imagen) showed heterogeneous images, solid and cystic components, from different locations. Ependimo-Astrocytomas have neoplastic ependymal cells and gliofibrillar formation. Embryologically, the ventricle is lined by ependymal cells, below which is a layer of glial fibers and a layer of subependymal cells. When these layers of differentiation do not exist in development, there is high mitosis and these lesions with mixed characteristics can be found. Different tips and suggestions are provided in its management for resection in the surgical treatment of these cervical tumors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
