“…This could reflect a real increase in incidence or could be related to change in diagnostic procedures [4,5,6]. As previously reported by many authors [7,8,9,10,11,12], males seem to be more susceptible than females. The male to female ratio in our series was 1:1.2, just like in other published reports.…”

Objective: To determine whether the incidence and location of childhood CNS tumors in Syria follows the same pattern described in Western and Far Eastern countries. Patients and Methods: We analyzed the data compiled from 367 children with brain tumors operated on in our Department of Neurosurgery between 1993 and mid-2002. We excluded all vascular and metastatic lesions and adopted the latest WHO classification in grouping all glial tumors. Results: We found that 47% of brain tumors were located in the supratentorial, and 53% in the infratentorial region. The ratio of male to female occurrence was 1:1.2 (52% males, 48% females). For lesions in the supratentorial space, the distribution was 56% males and 44% females, while in the posterior fossa, the distribution was 61% males and 39% females. Low-grade tumors (WHO I/II) constituted 53.5% of all lesions, and the rest were high grade tumors (WHO III/IV) 46.5%.The most common tumor found in our childhood population was medulloblastoma (27.5%), followed by astrocytoma (25.8%), then craniopharyngioma (14.1%). The most common tumor in the posterior fossa was medulloblastoma (53.5%), followed by astrocytoma (22.5%), then ependymoma (17%). The most common tumors in the supratentorial space were astrocytoma and craniopharyngioma. Conclusions: In our patient population, the incidence and distribution of CNS tumors were somehow different than those reported by authors from the Western and Far Eastern countries. Whether these results are unique to Syria, or reflect a regional difference in the disease distribution between the Middle East region and the rest of the world, remains to be determined.

“…Isaacs in his review of 250 perinatal intracranial tumors reported the incidence of PNET to be around 13.2 % [6]. Rickert et al reported that PNET was the most common tumor in first year of life, astrocytoma and ependymoma were highest in first two years of life and astrocytomas were highest in first four years of life accounting for one-third of all tumors in their epidemiological survey [9]. Congenital PNETs are rare in fetal and perinatal period.…”

Congenital brain tumors, especially tumors diagnosed before birth, are very rare. This article describes a case of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) diagnosed by ultrasonography at 24 weeks of gestation. Follow-up ultrasound study and MRI at 27 weeks of gestation revealed aggressive growth and complications of tumor. The diagnosis was confirmed at autopsy. Prenatal diagnosis of PNET or other congenital brain tumors is important because the presence of tumors may alter the time and mode of delivery and planning of postnatal care.

“…Ependimomak, plexu koroideetako tumoreak, PNET eta teratomak % 11, % 11 eta % 7,7ko portzentajeak izan zituzten hurrenez hurren. Emaitza horiek bat datoz beste batzuek argitaratu dituztenekin (9). Harrigarria da plexu koroideetako tumoreak denen % 1,2 baino ez izatea, eta 4 teratoide rabdoide atipiko bakarrik daudela 195 tumoreen artean (2. taula).…”

LaburpenaLan honen helburua Gurutzetako Unibertsitate Ospitalean urtebete baino gutxiagoko umeengan agertu diren nerbio-sistema zentraleko tumoreen kasuak eta haien gaineko literatura berrikustea izan da. Urtebete edo gutxiagoko umeengan 2001-2016 bitartean diagnostitatutako NSZko tumoreen kasuak ikertu dira. Haien diagnosi-adina, kokapena, tratamendu neurokirurgikoa, hidrozefaliaren agerpena, biziraupena eta gaixotasunaren segimendua berrikusi dira. Gurutzeta Unibertsitate Ospitaleko Onkologia-Hematologia-Pediatriako Unitatean 2001-2016 urteen artean artatutako NSZko tumorea izan zuten 14 urtetik beherako 158 pazienteen artean, urtebetetik beherako 16 tratatu ziren. Hamalau tumore supratentorialak izan ziren, bat infratentoriala eta beste bat ornomuin zerbikalean zegoen kokaturik. Kasu batean, diagnosia jaio aurrekoa izan zen. Anatomia patologikoari dagokionez, hamar gliomak izan ziren (bi gradu altukoak eta zortzi gradu baxukoak), hiru PNET (tumore neuroektodermiko primitiboa) infratentorialak, plexu koroideetako papiloma atipikoa bat, teratoide rabdoide atipiko bat, PNET supratentorial bat eta beste bat tumore neuroektodermiko melanozitikoa. Hamalau pazienterengan prozedura kirurgikoren bat gauzatu zen, eta hamabi kasutan kraniotomia eta neurri desberdinetako erauzketa izan ziren. Talde horretako bik prozedura kirurgiko bat baino gehiago behar izan zuten. Beste paziente birengan, kraniotomiaren ordez, biopsia estereotaktikoa baino ez zen egin orratz baten bitartez, diagnosia izanik helburu bakarra. Kirurgia ez zen mahaigaineratu gaixo biren kasuan, nerbio optikoko gliomen susmoa zegoelako. Gradu altuko tumoreetan, bost urteko biziraupena izan zuen kasu batean izan ezik, besteak ez ziren hain epe luzera heldu. Bi prozedura kirurgikoan bertan hil ziren. Gradu baxuko tumoreak zituzten hamarretik bederatzi bizirik daude oraindik, batez besteko 3,8 urteko biziraupenarekin. Bestea, 4,3 urte iraun eta gero, hil egin zen. Urtebete baino gutxiago duten umeen garuneko tumoreen ezaugarriak (portaera, pronostikoa…) eta nagusiagoenak nahiko desberdinak dira; talde haren ezaugarriak bereziak dira alegia. Gradu altuko tumoreetan, pronostikoak oso aurkakoa izaten jarraitzen du, hobetzeko ahaleginean ekin arren. Jatorrizko artikulua
