A tectal glioma presenting with late-onset aqueduct stenosis and obstructive hydrocephalus is usually categorized as a benign glioma. Apparent clinical or radiological progression justifies biopsy of the tumour. In this case, an unusual tumour shows aggressive and invasive growth after surgical intervention and chemoradiotherapy.
表现为迟发性导水管狭窄和梗阻性脑积水的顶盖胶质瘤通常被归类为良性胶质瘤。明显的临床或影像学进展表明有必要对肿瘤进行活检。在本病例中,一个不寻常的肿瘤在手术干预和放化疗后呈现侵袭性生长。
