Hemangioblastoma of the lateral ventricle

Hemangioblastoma of the Fourth Ventricle : Case Report

mal cells and a subependymal plate composed of glial cells. Accordingly, these layers give rise to ependymomas, subependymomas, and subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (1). Hemangioblastomas are benign vascular tumors with an uncertain origin. They account for 12% of all intracranial tumors, and are a component of the von Hippel-Lindau syndrome in 30% of cases (2, 3). Hemangioblastomas usually...

Fourth Ventricle Neurenteric Cyst Mimicking Hemangioblastoma

This report presents a case of fourth ventricle neurenteric cyst (NE cyst) mimicking hemangioblastoma, which developed in a 50-year-old woman. A tiny enhancing mural portion of the fourth ventricle in MRI suggested that the cyst was hemangioblastoma, but pathological evidence showed that the cyst was in fact NE cyst in the fourth ventricle. In order to make proper decision on to what extent of ...

A Large Solitary Hemangioblastoma of the Lateral Ventricles: A Case Report and Literature Review

Hemangioblastoma (HB) in the supratentorial region of the brain is rare and only a few cases are reported on intraventricular HB. HB of the lateral ventricles is even rarer. We present a case of a 30-year-old man with generalized tonic clonic seizures. The brain computed tomography showed a 5.5 cm heterogeneous mass extending into both lateral ventricles with partial enhancement. Based on the s...

P81: Psychosocial Stress of Maternal Deprivation Enhanced Volume of Lateral Ventricle in Rat Brain

Brain areas implicated in the stress response include the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Neonatal stimulation of an animal by handling or by enhanced maternal care induces at adult age a decrease of the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal (HPA) response to stressors, a decrease of anxiety in a novel environment, and neuroanatomical changes. In this present study we demonstrated that mat...
