Diencephalic syndrome: a frequently neglected cause of failure to thrive in infants
Ahlee Kim, Jin Soo Moon, Hye Ran Yang, Ju Young Chang, Jae Sung Ko, Jeong Kee Seo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2015;58(1):28-32.   Published online January 31, 2015
Purpose

Diencephalic syndrome is an uncommon cause of failure to thrive in early childhood that is associated with central nervous system neoplasms in the hypothalamic-optic chiasmatic region. It is characterized by complex signs and symptoms related to hypothalamic dysfunction; such nonspecific clinical features may delay diagnosis of the brain tumor. In this study, we analyzed a series of cases in order...

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 with Cerebellar Piloytic Astrocytoma
In-Sang Jeon, Jung Sun Kim, Ji Hye Kim, Na Rae Kim

Neurofibromatosis type 1(NF1) is one of the most common inherited disorders, clinically characterized by caf -au-lait spots, Lisch nodules and neurofibromas. In addition, the affected individuals usually develop benign and malignant tumors of the nervous system. One of the most common tumors is the optic nerve glioma. NF1-associated glioma, however, rarely occurs in the cerebellum. Recently, we experienced a NF1-associated...

Spinal-cord astrocytomas are rare, comprising only 1% of all primary central nervous system tumors. Malignant astrocytomas grade III and IV account for only 7.5% of intramedullary spinal gliomas occurring in all age groups and for as few as 1.2% of primary intramedullary tumors in children. The frequency of primary intramedullary with intracranial metastasis is relatively rare in childhood and such...
A Case of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Developing with Subependymal Giant-Cell Astrocytoma and Hydrocephalus
Ki Hyun Chung, Wan Sub Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(2):280-286.   Published online February 15, 1996
The subependymal giant-cell astrocytoma, a key feature of the tuberous sclerosis complex, has been reported in patients without obvious features of this condition. The tumor is a rare cerebral glioma that characteristically arise in the wall of lateral ventricle and as an intraventricular mass, causing hydrocephalus by obstruction of the foramen of Monro. We experienced a case of tuberous sclerosis...

A case of tuberous sclerosis developing with subependymal giant-cell astrocytoma.
Young Chul Ahn, Yong Suk Choi, Pyoung Han Hwang, Jung Soo Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(7):1027-1033.   Published online July 31, 1991
Subependymal giant-cell astrocytoma is a rare cerebral glioma that characteristically arises in the wall of the lateral ventricle and presents as an intraventricular mass, causing hydrocephalus by obstruction of the foramen of Monro. The tumor mainly occurs in patients with tuberous sclerosis and is slow growing and well circumscribed, so that long survival after total surgical resection is often achieved. We experienced a cas^ of...
