Chordoid glioma is a rare low-grade brain tumor originating from the anterior wall of the third ventricle.
A 13-year-old female with progressive intermittent holocranial headaches and a diagnosis of chordoid glioma underwent tumor resection in our neuro-oncology unit.
We review all 79 cases of chordoid glioma reported in the literature so far, focusing on the diagnostic criteria, treatment options and prognosis.
Efficient treatment of chordoid glioma depends upon radical surgical resection. Based on the reviewed data, which showed high morbi-mortality rates for this kind of tumor, we recommend a more conservative treatment approach.
脊索样胶质瘤是一种罕见的起源于第三脑室前壁的低度恶性脑肿瘤。
一名13岁女性,患有进行性间歇性全颅头痛,被诊断为脊索样胶质瘤,在我们的神经肿瘤科室接受了肿瘤切除术。
我们回顾了迄今为止文献中报道的所有79例脊索样胶质瘤病例,重点关注诊断标准、治疗选择和预后。
脊索样胶质瘤的有效治疗取决于根治性手术切除。基于所回顾的数据,该类肿瘤显示出较高的病残率和死亡率,我们建议采用更为保守的治疗方法。
