Anatomy of the Brain: Ventricles

There are hollow fluid-filled cavities known as ventricles deep inside the human brain. There are two lateral ventricles, one in each cerebral hemisphere, and each has three different projections — the anterior, inferior, and posterior horns visible from the lateral side. A thin membrane called the septum pellucidum separates the two lateral ventricles. The slender third ventricle in the diencephalon is connected to each lateral ventricle via a channel called the interventricular foramen. The...

Cerebral Edema ll: Pathophysiology

Vasogenic edema is a major form of cerebral edema characterized by abnormal accumulation of fluid in the brain’s extracellular space due to disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is a specialized structure composed of endothelial cells connected by tight junctions, supported by astrocytic endfeet and a basement membrane. Under normal conditions, it tightly regulates the movement of ions, proteins, and solutes between the bloodstream and brain parenchyma. When this barrier loses...

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...
Increased Intracranial Pressure ll: Pathophysiology01:29

Increased Intracranial Pressure ll: Pathophysiology

Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) refers to a potentially life-threatening rise in pressure inside the skull. This usually happens when there is a major change in the volume of brain tissue, blood, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) — the three components inside the skull. According to the Monro-Kellie doctrine, if the volume of one component increases, the volumes of the other components must decrease to maintain normal pressure. If this does not happen, ICP rises.The process often begins with...

Summary

Intraventricular gangliogliomas are rare brain tumors. This study presents a unique case and reviews existing literature to characterize these tumors, typically found in younger females and causing cerebrospinal fluid obstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Neuropathology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Gangliogliomas are mixed tumors comprising glial and neuronal elements, rare in the central nervous system.
  • Intraventricular gangliogliomas are exceptionally uncommon, with limited characterization in existing literature.
  • A novel case of anterior third ventricle ganglioglioma at the foramen of Monro, mimicking a colloid cyst, is presented.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the clinical presentation, demographics, and management of intraventricular gangliogliomas.
  • To highlight a previously unreported location of intraventricular ganglioglioma.
  • To review and consolidate existing literature on intraventricular gangliogliomas.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a patient with an anterior third ventricle ganglioglioma.
  • Systematic literature review of all reported intraventricular ganglioglioma cases (n=6).
  • Analysis of patient demographics, tumor location, symptoms, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Intraventricular gangliogliomas predominantly affect younger patients, with a notable female predominance (2:5 male to female ratio).
  • The median age of affected patients is 25 years.
  • Symptoms are primarily due to cerebrospinal fluid circulation obstruction, necessitating surgical intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Intraventricular gangliogliomas are rare tumors requiring comprehensive characterization.
  • Complete surgical resection and restoration of cerebrospinal fluid flow are crucial for successful treatment.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand the pathogenesis and optimal management of these rare neoplasms.
