Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor (RGNT) of the 4th ventricle is a newly described WHO grade I brain tumor included in recent WHO classification of CNS tumors. It is a biphasic tumor thought to originate from pluripotent progenitor cells of subependymal plate. Intra-operative diagnosis plays an important role, as complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We are reporting a case of RGNT in a 19 years-old young male emphasizing the intra-operative pathological pointers and their role in accurate diagnosis for the suitable surgical intervention.

Posterior Fossa Stereotactic Biopsy with Leksell Vantage Frame-Case Series and Review of Literature.

Stereotactic biopsy of posterior fossa lesions, which are often inoperable, enables a safe trajectory and provides tissue samples for accurate diagnosis, which is crucial for correct treatment since the latest World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System from 2021 places immense emphasis on molecular diagnostics. Stereotactic biopsy using the Leksell Vantage headframe is, due to its rigid design, extremely accurate, but stiffer, making the procedure more challenging and the learning curve steeper. This retrospective analysis demonstrates the introduction of the new Leksell Vantage headframe in day-to-day practice at the University Medical Center in Maribor, Slovenia, in demanding procedures of posterior fossa biopsies, and also provides a review of the literature available on the topic with emphasis on the technical aspect of posterior fossa biopsy using the Leksell Vantage headframe in adults.

Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumors (RGNTs) with FGFR1 tyrosine kinase domain internal tandem duplication (FGFR1 ITD) is exceedingly rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. Hereby we present a case of a tumor with RGNT morphology occurring in area of septum pellucidum of 43-year-old male. The tumor showed FGFR1 ITD, no PIK3CA, PIK3R1 or NF1 alterations and inconclusive methylation profile with match for class of "low-grade glial/glioneuronal/neuroepithelial tumors".

Background: Rosette-Forming Glioneuronal Tumors (RGNTs) are rare, typically benign central nervous system tumors primarily located in the fourth ventricle and pineal region. Despite being classified as WHO grade I with generally favorable prognoses, RGNTs present complexities in their molecular mechanisms, occasional malignant transformation, and epidemiological characteristics that require further investigation.
Method: This study systematically reviews the existing literature to analyze the epidemiological patterns, MRI characteristics, pathological features, diagnostic challenges, and molecular mechanisms associated with RGNTs, aiming to provide a comprehensive theoretical foundation for clinical practice and future research.

Tectal plate tumors are a rare subset of midbrain tumors in pediatric populations. They are slow growing and low grade, with indolent and subtle manifestation unless they cause hydrocephalus. We present a tectal tumor in an 8-year-old girl (Video 1).
