Abstract

AIM: Cerebellar astrocytomas are benign tumors of the central nervous system. They represent 10% of all pediatric intracranial brain tumors and 30% of all pediatric posterior fossa tumors especially in the first two decades of life. MATERIAL and METHODS: Material and Methods: We reviewed the medical records of patients; age at the time of surgery, pre- and post operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), localisation of the tumor, hydrocephalus, surgical approach, pre- and post operative neurological status, post operative adjuvant therapy and outcome were documented. RESULTS: The male to female ratio was 20/11. Age at the time of evaluation ranged from 3 to 23 years. Age at the time of surgery ranged from 1 to 18 years. Follow-up duration after surgery was 1-12 years. 55% of these tumors were located at the cerebellar vermis and 45% were at the cerebellar hemispheres. Complete surgical resection was done in 74% of these patients. 5 patients had a second operation because of residual tumor. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion was performed in 3 of 31 patients because of symptomatic hydrocephalus and 1 patient had an endoscopic third ventriculostomy pre-operatively. 90% of these patients had no neurological sequelae at follow-up evaluation. CONCLUSION: Cerebellar astrocytomas are benign tumors where total resection is possible in the majority of cases with an excellent outcome.

Özet

AMAÇ: Serebellar astrositomalar santral sinir sisteminin iyi huylu tümörleridir. Özellikle hayatın ilk iki on yılındaki çocukluk çağı posterior fossa tümörlerinin %30’unu, çocukluk çağı intrakranyal beyin tümörlerinin ise %10’unu oluştururlar. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇ: Bu çalışmada, 1997-2008 yılları arasında cerrahi olarak tedavi edilmiş 31 hasta incelendi. Bu hastaların hastane kayıtları incelenerek cerrahi anındaki yaş, ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası manyetik rezonans görüntüleri, tümör lokalizasyonu, hidrosefali varlığı, cerrahi girişim şekli, ameliyat öncesi ve sonrası nörolojik tablo, ameliyat sonrası aldığı ek tedaviler ve sağkalım incelendi. BULGULAR: Erkek/kız oranı 20/11 idi. Araştırma esnasındaki yaş dağılımı 3-23 idi. Operasyon esnasındaki yaş dağılımı 1-18 idi. Cerrahi tedavi sonrasındaki izlem süresi 1 ile12 yıl arasında değişiyordu. Bu tümörlerin %55’i serebellar vermiste, %45’i ise serebellar hemisferlerde lokalize idi. %74 hastada tam cerrahi rezeksiyon yapıldı. Beş hasta geride tümör kalması nedeni ile tekrar opere edildi. Cerrahi öncesinde 3 hastaya hidrosefali nedeniyle ventriküloperitoneal şant , 1 hastaya ise endoskopik üçüncü ventrikülostomi yapıldı. İzlemde %90 hastada herhangi bir nörolojik sekele rastlanmadı. SONUÇ: Serebellar astrositomlar pekçok vakada tam rezeksiyonun mümkün olabildiği oldukça iyi seyirli tümörlerdir.
