Ependymomas are rare intracranial neuroepithelial tumors and the most common location is intramedullary. The aim was to analyze the characteristics of these tumors to determine the patients' overall survival and the likelihood of recurrence.
Data of clinical presentation, tumor location, duration of symptoms, degree of resection and complementary treatment of 34 patients with intracranial ependymoma and 31 with intramedullary ependymoma who underwent surgery in the last ten years were collected and correlated with the recurrence time and overall survival.
There was statistically significant correlation between the degree of resection and intracranial tumor location, although it is not a hallmark of recurrence. Data analyses of intramedullary ependymoma did not show correlation with overall survival and likelihood of recurrence.
The location of the intracranial tumor is connected with the degree of resection; however it is not a predictive factor to overall survival.
室管膜瘤是罕见的颅内神经上皮肿瘤,最常见的部位是髓内。目的是分析这些肿瘤的特征,以确定患者的总生存期和复发可能性。
收集过去十年中接受手术的34例颅内室管膜瘤患者和31例髓内室管膜瘤患者的临床表现、肿瘤位置、症状持续时间、切除程度和辅助治疗数据,并与复发时间和总生存期相关联。
切除程度与颅内肿瘤位置之间存在统计学上的显著相关性,尽管它不是复发的标志。髓内室管膜瘤的数据分析未显示与总生存期和复发可能性相关。
颅内肿瘤的位置与切除程度有关;然而,它不是总生存期的预测因素。
