Abstract

Optic pathway and hypothalamic gliomas are account for 25 to 30 % of pediatric suprasellar neoplasms. The majority of these tumors are diagnosed in the first decade and two-thirds in the first 5 years of life. These tumors may become quite large prior to diagnosis. We have presented a huge mass involving both the left optic nerve and the suprasellar region which showed imaging characteristics of typical of these tumors on magnetic resonance. Following biopsy and partial resection of the tumor, histopathologic examination revealed optic - hypothalamic glioma as the primary diagnosis.

Özet

Optik yol ve hipotalamusa ait gliomalar çocukluk yaş grubundaki suprasellar bölge tümörlerinin % 25 ile 30 ' nu meydana getirirler. Bu tümörlerin çoğunluğu ilk dekat içerisinde ve 2/ 3 'si yaşamın ilk 5 yılında teşhis edilirler. Bu tümörler tanıdan önce çok büyük boyutlara ulaşabilirler. Biz olgu bildirimizde manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile bu tümörler için tipik sayılan görüntüleme bulguları sergileyen, sol optik sinir ve suprasellar bölgeyi tutan büyük bir kitlesel lezyonu tanımladık. Tümörün biopsi ve parsiyel rezeksiyonunu takip eden histopatolojik inceleme optik hipotalamik glioma tanısınûı konulmasını sağladı.
