Abstract:
The clinico-neuropathological report is given of a glioblastoma multiforme with primary site in the cerebellum. The patient presented clinically with Wallenberg's syndrome; morphological investigations revealed the tumor partly invading the dorsolateral region of medulla oblongata. There are some reports of Wallenberg's syndrome not caused by vascular stenosis or occlusion, but by metastatic tumors in the lateral medullary region. The present report is the first of a cerebellar glioblastoma causing the peculiar brainstem syndrome.

01:22Cerebral 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...
01:22Dementia l: Introduction
Dementia is an acquired, progressive syndrome characterized by a decline in multiple cognitive domains severe enough to impair daily functioning and reduce independence. Although memory loss is a central feature, the diagnosis requires additional deficits involving language, executive function, visuospatial skills, judgment, calculation, or abstract reasoning. These cognitive impairments reflect underlying neurodegenerative or vascular processes that gradually disrupt neuronal networks...
