A rare brain tumor, astroblastoma, can occur within the ventricles. Complete surgical removal of this well-differentiated tumor led to a favorable outcome in a pediatric patient.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Brain Tumor Research

Background:

  • Astroblastoma is a rare primary brain neoplasm, comprising 0.45-2.8% of gliomas.
  • Intraventricular localization of astroblastoma is exceptionally uncommon.
  • This study focuses on a rare case and literature review of intraventricular astroblastoma.

Observation:

  • A 6-year-old girl presented with a 5-week history of progressive nausea and vomiting.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large, well-demarcated, solid-cystic mass in the left temporooccipital ventricular horn.
  • The tumor was completely intraventricular and well-differentiated.

Findings:

  • Macroscopic radical resection of the tumor was successfully performed.
  • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative course with no adjuvant therapy administered.

  • No recurrence was detected at a 9-month follow-up, highlighting the impact of gross-total resection.

    • Implications:

    • Gross-total resection is crucial for improving patient survival in astroblastoma.
    • Adjuvant therapy may be recommended for recurrence, especially in anaplastic cases.
    • Distinguishing astroblastoma from ependymoma is vital due to differing therapeutic strategies.
