“…1,3,7,21,25) An intracranial capillary hemangioma of the CNS showed rapid regrowth after tumor resection. 26) Capillary hemangioma has been known to develop rapidly and achieve a maximum size, ranging from several millimeters to a few centimeters, within a few weeks or months. 14) Whereas capillary hemangiomas involving the skin or soft tissues are easily detected immediately after development, those involving the CNS can be hardly be detected before the presentation of symptoms.…”

A 48-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of progressive gait disturbance. Neurological examinations showed mild weakness in his lower extremities and depreciation of deep sensation. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed an intradural extramedullary enhanced lesion at the levels of the T10 and T11 vertebrae. Laminectomy of the T10 and T11 vertebrae was performed, and the vascular tumor on the spinal cord surface was completely resected. Histological analysis indicated that the lesion was a capillary hemangioma with an elevated proliferative index. Postoperatively, the patient showed rapid motor and sensory improvement. However, 6 months after the operation, MR imaging showed regrowth of the tumor although the clinical symptoms of the patient had not deteriorated. The patient has shown no tumor regrowth 9 years after the second operation. Capillary hemangiomas in the skin and soft tissues are often associated with high proliferative activity, and recurrence/regrowth is not infrequent. On the other hand, recurrence/regrowth of capillary hemangioma in the neuraxis after tumor resection has rarely been observed, even in cases of incomplete resection. The present case illustrates the treatment of recurrent capillary hemangioma of the spinal cord.

RESUMO -O diagnóstico de um tumor cerebral durante a gravidez é um fato raro que coloca a mãe e o concepto em risco de vida. Objetivo: Avaliar a melhor forma de conduzir uma paciente grávida portadora de um tumor cerebral. Método: Realizamos análise retrospectiva dos prontuários e imagens de seis pacientes grávidas portadoras de tumor cerebral. Resultados: Vários tipos histológicos de tumor cerebral podem estar associados à gravidez. O meningioma é o mais freqüente. Nessa série não observamos óbito cirúrgi-co materno. Em duas pacientes, o parto ocorreu antes da craniotomia e em outras quatro o parto foi realizado após a neurocirurgia. Conclusão: O momento mais adequado para a realização da craniotomia para remoção tumoral irá depender da gravidade do quadro neurológico, do tipo histológico presumível da lesão, e da idade gestacional do embrião. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: gravidez, tumor cerebral, meningioma, microneurocirurgia. Brain tumors and pregnancyABSTRACT -Background: Despite not being a common fact, the occurrence of brain tumors during pregnancy poses a risk to both the mother and infant. Aim: To identify the best medical procedure to be followed for a pregnant patient harboring a brain tumor. Method: The records of 6 patients with brain tumors, diagnosed during pregnancy were examined. Results: Several types of brain tumors have been associated with pregnancy, but the meningioma is, by far, the most frequent. It seems that pregnancy aggravates the clinical course of intracranial tumors. There were no operative mortality in these series. In 2 patients the labor occurred before the craniotomy and in others, the delivery occurred after the surgery. Conclusion: The best moment to recommend the craniotomy and the neurosurgical removal of the tumor will depend of the mother's neurological condition, the tumor histological type as well as the gestational age.

Dr. José Carlos Lynch -Rua Jardim Botânico 600 / 605 -22461-000 Rio de JaneiroO surgimento de um tumor cerebral durante uma gestação coloca a mãe e concepto em risco de vida 4,7,10,11 , e também suscita dilemas de ordem neurocirúrgica, clínica, obstétrica, ética e psicológica. A utilização de uma abordagem multidisciplinar para essas pacientes é fundamental porque se está lidando com pacientes que se encontram em um momento crítico de suas vidas, quando ocorrem profundas mudanças orgânicas e psíquicas.Analisamos seis casos de nossa experiência. MÉTODOEntre os anos de 1996 e 2005, 6 mulheres que se encontravam no período gestacional e com o diagnóstico de tumor cerebral foram tratadas no Serviço de Neurocirurgia do Hospital dos Servidores do Estado (HSE), no Rio de Janeiro.As pacientes também foram acompanhadas pelos serviços de obstetrícia, psicologia e anestesia que discutiram entre si e determinaram, juntamente com as famílias e as pacientes, as condutas que foram instituídas.
