Spinal cord astrocytoma with intracranial spread: detection by magnetic resonance imaging
British Journal of Neurosurgery
|January 1, 1987
Abstract:
An astrocytoma of the thoracic spinal cord in a 9-year-old boy was treated by partial tumour removal and postoperative radiotherapy. The development of intracranial spread causing cranial nerve signs and diabetes insipidus was detectable only by Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The spread of these tumours and difficulties in diagnosis are discussed together with a review of the current literature.
