Abstract

A 75-year-old man with Lhermitte-Duclos Disease (LDD) manifesting as progressive headache is presented. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a right cerebellar mass lesion with the characteristic “tiger-striped appearance”. A mild mass effect was evident at the medulla oblongata, accompanied by inferior displacement of the right cerebellar tonsil. Thus, tonsillar herniation was considered the cause of his headache and he underwent partial resection of the tumor to solve tonsillar herniation. His headache gradually improved. LDD in the elderly is quite rare. Several differences in the nature of the lesion are seen in the elderly, with tendencies toward a male predominance, hypervascularity, and low rates of association with Cowden disease. Moreover, partial resection to reduce mass effect can improve clinical symptoms without recurrence. In symptomatic LDD in the elderly, to avoid surgical complication, we recommend partial resection to reduce mass effect

Özet

Yetmiş beş yaşında bir erkek hastada progresif baş ağrısı ile ortaya çıkan Lhermitte-Duclos Hastalığı (LDH) sunulmaktadır. Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme "Kaplan çizgileri" görünümü olan bir sağ serebellar kitle lezyonunu gösterdi. Medulla oblongata'da hafif bir kitle etkisi vardı ve sağ serebellar tonsil inferiora doğru yer değiştirmişti. Bundan dolayı tonsiller heniasyonun baş ağrısına neden olduğu düşünüldü ve hastaya tonsiller herniasyonun tedavisi için tümörün parsiyel rezeksiyonu uygulandı. Hastanın baş ağrısı tedrici olarak düzeldi. LDH yaşlılarda oldukça nadirdir. Bu hastalığın yaşlılarda görülen formunda tümörün natüründe bazı farklılıklar vardır. Bunlar, erkek predominansı, hipervaskülarite ve Cowden hastalığı ile daha düşük oranda birlikteliktir. Ayrıca parsiyel rezeksiyon kitle etkisini azaltarak nüks olmadan klinik semptomların iyileşmesini sağlamıştır. Semptomatik LDH olan yaşlı hastalarda cerrahi komplikasyondan kaçınmak için kitle etkisini azaltmak amacıyla parsiyel rezeksiyon yapılmasını öneriyoruz
