We report a case and literature review of a rare third ventricular tumor in a child with histologic characteristics of chordoma and chordoid meningioma (CM). Case: A 13-year-old boy was diagnosed with a recurrent intraventricular tumor 22 months aft er complete surgical removal. Reoperation was indicated; treatment consisted of total microsurgical removal, histologic and immunohistochemical cla...

Objective: Preterm infants are prone to intraventricular hemorrhage. They may suffer from significant morbidity and mortality particularly in those with high-grade hemorrhage. Our objective was to determine the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in premature infants transported to a tertiary center compared with those delivered at the level III facility.  Methods: We evaluated all prematu...

Abstract Objective To systematically review the evidence for intrathecal or intraventricular plus intravenous administration of antibiotics compared with standard management postsurgical meningitis ventriculitis. Methods The following databases were searched: MEDLINE, Central Register Controlled Trials (CENTRAL); PubMed, EMBASE; and reference list articles. Results Administration intrathecal/in...

Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood. Although the survival rate of afflicted children has improved considerably over the past several years, a subset of these patients will present with disseminated disease and face a much bleaker prognosis. In addition, patients may present with disseminated disease at recurrence. We previously demonstrated the efficacy of a r...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in premature infants and the ensuing posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus cause significant mortality and neurological disabilities, and there are currently no effective therapies. This study determined whether intraventricular transplantation of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells prevents posthemorrhagic hydrocepha...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Thrombolytic efficacy of intraventricular rtPA for acute intraventricular hemorrhage may depend on hematoma composition. We assessed whether hematoma Hounsfield unit quantification informs intraventricular hemorrhage clearance after intraventricular rtPA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serial NCCT was performed on 52 patients who received intraventricular rtPA as part of the Clo...

PURPOSE The incidence of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is increasing. Therapeutic approaches remain controversial. An animal model that mimics the clinical situation would be useful for evaluating PCNSL biology and treatment. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Nude rats received intracerebral (caudate nucleus, n = 49) or intraventricular (n = 4) inoculation of human B-lymphoma cell line MC...
