Primary brain tumors in infants under 12 months of age have a different prognosis from older children.
A retrospective analysis was done in all patients less than 12 months old with primary brain tumors.
Out of 1682 children with primary brain tumors, 61 (3.6%) were infants under 12 months old. The mean age at diagnosis was 181.6 days (SD 128) with a range of 1 to 364 days. There were 37 males (60.6%). The most common tumor was astrocytoma ( n=22) (36%). Supratentorial tumors were present in 63.9% but this was not related to survival ( p=0.1095). Complete surgical resection ( n=14) was favorable for survival ( p=0.039). Intracranial hypertension at diagnosis did not influence survival ( p=0.89). The overall survival rate was 32%, mean 42.08 (SD 7.38). A total of 24 patients are alive and without evidence of disease.
Complete surgical resection was necessary for a favorable prognosis, and the long-term effects are a valid problem.
12个月以下婴儿的原发性脑肿瘤预后与大龄儿童不同。
对所有12个月以下患有原发性脑肿瘤的患者进行回顾性分析。
在1682例原发性脑肿瘤患儿中,61例(3.6%)为12个月以下的婴儿。诊断时的平均年龄为181.6天(标准差128),范围为1至364天。男性37例(60.6%)。最常见的肿瘤是星形细胞瘤(n = 22)(36%)。幕上肿瘤占63.9%,但这与生存率无关(p = 0.1095)。完整手术切除(n = 14)有利于生存(p = 0.039)。诊断时的颅内高压不影响生存(p = 0.89)。总生存率为32%,平均42.08(标准差7.38)。共有24例患者存活且无疾病证据。
完整手术切除对良好预后是必要的,长期影响是一个值得关注的问题。
