Abstract

AIM: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyse the clinical, radiological features and surgical outcome of pineal epidermoid tumors treated at a single neurosurgical department. MATERIAL and METHODS: We performed surgery on five patients with pineal region epidermoid tumors at a single neurosurgical department between the years 1998 and 2006. Headache, diplopia and ataxia were the most common presenting findings. Parinaud s syndrome was found in three patients. Hydrocephalus was demonstrated radiologically in two patients. results: Two patients were operated on with the occipital-transtentorial approach, two were operated on with the infratentorial- supracerebellar approach and one was operated on with van Wagenen s approach. Recurrence of tumor was observed in one patient. One patient died at the first postoperative month due to ventriculitis. CONCLUSION: Total removal of epidermoid tumors may provide good clinical recovery and may reduce the possibility of tumor recurrence and shunt placement.

Özet

AMAÇ: Bu çalışmanın amacı, tek bir merkezde tedavi edilen pineal epidermoid tümörlerin, retrospektif olarak klinik, radyolojik özellikleri ve cerrahi sonuçlarını analiz etmektir. yÖntem ve GereÇler: Pineal bölgede epidermoid tümörü olan beş hastaya, 1998 ve 2006 yılları arasında tek bir beyin cerrahisi bölümünde cerrahi girişim uygulandı. Baş ağrısı, diplopi ve ataksi en sık görülen bulgular idi. Parinaud sendromu, üç hastada tespit edildi. Radyolojik olarak iki hastada hidrosefali gösterildi. BULGULAR: İki hasta oksipital-transtentoryal yaklaşımla, iki hasta infratentoryal-supraserebellar yaklaşımla ve bir hasta van Wagenen yaklaşımı ile ameliyat edildi. Tümör nüksü bir hastada görüldü. Bir hasta ventrikülit nedeniyle postoperatif birinci ayda kaybedildi. SONUÇ: Epidermoid tümörlerin total çıkarılması klinik iyileşme sağlayabilir ve nüks ve şant yerleştirilmesi olasılığını azaltabilir.
