Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compile and analyze published cases of intrinsic brainstem epidermoid cysts, focusing on their characteristics and treatment methods, especially in pediatric patients.
- Researchers reviewed existing literature and presented a case of a 1.5-year-old boy who underwent successful gross total resection of a cyst discovered incidentally.
- Results showed 21 patients (10 boys, 11 girls) with an average age of 4.85 years, experiencing symptoms like cranial nerve palsy (71.4%) and headache (52.38%), highlighting the need for careful surgical approaches to maximize lesion removal while preserving function.

Article Synopsis
- Low-grade gliomas make up 30% of pediatric brain tumors, and the success of treatment relies heavily on how much of the tumor is surgically removed, with sodium fluorescein (Na-Fl) being used to assist in this process.
- A study of pediatric patients undergoing tumor removal with Na-Fl showed impressive results in identifying tumor cells and achieving complete resection, supported by a review of existing literature.
- The findings indicate that Na-Fl might be an effective tool for improving surgical outcomes in pediatric low-grade gliomas, but further research, including randomized controlled trials, is needed to confirm its benefits.
Background: Histoplasmosis is a fungal disease endemic in some regions of the United States of America, Canada, and Latin America. The geographic characteristics, humidity, soil, and climate are responsible for such distribution. In Brazil, there are case reports of histoplasmosis throughout its territory, being considered an endemic region.
