Meduloblastoma em adultos: análise de uma casuística e resultados cirúrgicos

Abstract: RESUMO -Analisamos 15 casos de meduloblastoma em adultos (8 homens e 7 mulheres), com idade média de 23,7 anos (variação de 13 a 46) submetidos a ressecção cirúrgica no período de fevereiro de 1988 a outubro de 1995. Os tumores se localizavam no hemisfério cerebelar em 7 casos (1 com extensão supratentorial e outro atingindo a cisterna do ângulo pontocerebelar), no vermis e hemisférico em 4 e apenas no vermis em outros 4. A ressecção foi considerada radical em 7 casos, subtotal em 7 e parcial em um. Não houve … Show more

“…The first well described case of extra-neural metastasis of medulloblastoma was reported in 1936 19 : since then, few reports have been published in medical literature. The major tendency of medulloblastoma cells to achieve subarachnoid and ventricular spaces predisposes dissemination to the spinal compartment 1,14,19 . Evidence shows that its cells have the ability to survive in subarachnoid environment and have feasibility to dissemination or growth and adhesion to CNS tissue 4 .…”

“…Its cells ability of surviving in subarachnoid space is well known, what explains, partially, its high recurrence in the CNS. 1,4 There are few reports of extra neural medulloblastoma metastases in literature and it has been associated with lost of meningeal integrity, like the usage of shunts, previous surgical procedures and isolated radiotherapy 2,4,14,18,19 .…”
