Intracranial ependymomas, a rare glioma, primarily affect children in the posterior fossa. Surgical resection is recommended, with radiotherapy and radiosurgery playing key roles in treatment due to frequent recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Intracranial ependymoma is a rare glioma.
  • This review focuses on pathological features, imaging, and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathological features, imaging characteristics, and treatment strategies for intracranial ependymomas.

Main Methods:

  • Medline search using the term "ependymoma."
  • Review of bibliographies for additional relevant articles.
  • Exclusion of spinal cord ependymomas and malignant variants.

Main Results:

  • Posterior fossa is the most common site for intracranial ependymomas.
  • Children are the most frequently affected demographic.

  • Ependymomas exhibit both epithelial and glial features microscopically.

    • Conclusions:

    • Surgical resection aims for maximal safe tumor removal.
    • Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunohistochemistry aids in diagnosis.
    • Radiotherapy and radiosurgery are crucial for managing recurrent ependymomas.
    • Chemotherapy's role, particularly in young children, requires further investigation.
