Primary gliosarcomas of the central nervous are rare and very few have been reported in the infratentorial compartment. Here, we describe such a lesion in a 12-year-old male.
A 12-year-old male presented with headache, ataxia, and vomiting. When Magnetic resonance studies documented a posterior fossa lesion, he underwent placement of a right ventriculoperitoneal shunt followed by a suboccipital craniectomy. The lesion proved to be a primary gliosarcoma. Unfortunately, it recurred 2 years later and required repeated resection.
Here, we reviewed the rare case of a 12-year-old male requiring shunt placement and suboccipital craniectomy for a primary gliosarcoma that recurred 2 years later.
中枢神经系统原发性胶质肉瘤罕见，幕下区域报道的病例极少。在此，我们描述一名12岁男性的此类病变。
一名12岁男性出现头痛、共济失调和呕吐症状。磁共振检查发现后颅窝有病变后，他接受了右心室 - 腹腔分流术，随后进行了枕下颅骨切除术。病变证实为原发性胶质肉瘤。不幸的是，2年后肿瘤复发，需要再次切除。
在此，我们回顾了这例罕见病例，一名12岁男性因原发性胶质肉瘤接受分流术和枕下颅骨切除术，2年后肿瘤复发。
