Supratentorial gangliogliomas: Histopathologic grading and tumor recurrence in 184 patients with a median follow‐up of 8 years

Abstract: BACKGROUND Supratentorial gangliogliomas (GGs) are rare tumors of the central nervous system and are commonly associated with chronic seizures. To date, only case reports and small series of patients with short‐term follow‐up have been available for the assessment of the potential of GGs to recur and progress. METHODS Data from 184 patients who underwent resection of GGs between 1988 and 2001 were available from the University of Bonn Epilepsy Surgery Center (Bonn, Germany). Analysis of factors that influenced… Show more

“…Визуализационные характеристики ГГ крайне неста-бильны, как правило, это кистозно-солидная опухоль, ко-торая может достигать размеров от нескольких сантимет-ров до гигантской мультилобарной [6,8,16]. Сигнал от солидного компонента опухоли обычно гиперинтенсив-ный в режиме Т2-ВИ и гипоинтенсивный в Т1-ВИ, ки-стозный компонент имеет ликворные МР-характеристики и, как правило, бо`льшие размеры по сравнению с узлом.…”

“…Ряд авторов отмечают, что кон-трастное усиление может встречаться в 50% случаев, как и наличие петрификатов [6,17]. Излюбленным местом ло-кализации ГГ являются височные и теменные доли мозга [3,6,8,17]. Довольно часто ГГ располагается в конвекси-тальных отделах и вовлекает в процесс корковую пластин-Рис.…”
