Spontaneous acute hemorrhage within a subependymoma of the lateral ventricle: successful emergent surgical removal through a frontal transcortical approach

Abstract: SummaryIntroduction. Subependymomas are benign neoplasms intimately related to the ventricular system which only exceptionally associate hemorrhagic events. We present neuroradiological and pathological evidences of intratumoral hemorrhage within a single case of subependymoma operated on at our institution. Additionally we analyze retrospectively the well-defined reports of similar cases published in the scientific literature.Case report. ResumenIntroducción. Los subependimomas son neoplasias benignas que se… Show more

“…Usual radiologic characteristics of subependymomas involve well-defined solid and cystic intraventricular mass, T1 hypo to isointense and T2 hyperintense with little to no contrast enhancement, consistent with the findings of this patient [1] [3]-[5] [7]. Aggressive features such as peritumoral edema, mass effect, dense enhancement, high vascularity, calcification and intratumoral hemorrhage are rare with a prevalence of about 12% [1] [5] [8]. However, significant perilesional edema and hemorrhage are observed in this presented case.…”

“…Thirteen cases of hemorrhagic subependymomas are reported in the literature ( Table 1). Three patterns of hemorrhage has been reported-extratumoral, intratumoral or mixed [8]. The pathophysiology of hemorrhage in subependymomas is unknown [1] [8] [11] [12].…”
