    Asymptomatic encephalic intraparenchymatous neuroepithelial cysts (1984)
    Springer
    Acta neuropathologica 63 (1984), S. 264-268

    Notes: Summary The authors report three cases of intraparenchymatous neuroepithelial cysts, which did not communicate with the ventricular system and the subarachnoid space. They were located in (1) the right frontal lobe, (2) the left cerebral peduncle and pons, and (3) the right cerebellar hemisphere. All of them were asymptomatic, despite their volume and location, and presented as incidental autopsy findings. A developmental origin is likely for these non-neoplastic cysts.

    Notes: Summary Between 1975 and 1989, 98 children with brain tumours under the age of three at time of diagnosis were entered into a retrospective study. Twenty of them are alive and free of tumour more than five years after treatment and were evaluated in this study. Thirteen tumour localizations were infratentorial and 7 were supratentorial. A histological examination was performed in 15 patients: 5 ependymomas, 6 medulloblastomas and 4 astrocytomas were identified. Fifteen patients underwent surgical removal of tumour, all but one received radiotherapy and 8 were given chemotherapy. Only two children have not late effects. Analysis of long-term sequelae in survivors showed central endocrinopathies in 14 (70%), a neurological handicap in 13 (65%) and impaired cognitive functions in 17 (85%). Irradiation was clearly responsible for mental sequelae in 7 patients and endocrinopathies in 6 patients. The other possible causes are tumour injury, hydrocephalus or surgery. The risks incurred with radiotherapy and advances in infant brain tumour therapy are discussed.
