Suprasellar teratoma to germinoma recurrence: implications for diagnosis and follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- A mature teratoma is a type of brain tumor that is usually not harmful and has a good chance of recovery after surgery.
- In this case, a 7-year-old girl had a tumor removed and was thought to be okay, but six months later, a new tumor called a germinoma showed up nearby.
- After the second surgery, the girl got special treatment including chemotherapy and proton therapy, and she got all better, showing that careful follow-up is really important for patients with this type of tumor.
Mature congenital intraventricular intracranial teratoma: A case report and literature review.

Background: Intracranial teratomas represent a rare subset of neoplasms characterized by tissues derived from multiple germ layers within the cranial cavity. These tumors, originating from primordial germ cells, exhibit diverse clinical presentations and histopathological features. While predominantly located along the midline axis, including the suprasellar cistern and pineal region, they can also manifest in less common areas such as ventricles and hypothalamic regions.

Background/objective: Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery (EETS) is a common treatment for sellar and suprasellar tumors. While endoscopic training has improved over the years and formal fellowship training is now broadly available, the operative nuances of EETS conjectures the existence a learning curve as a neurosurgeon matures with experience. We aim to evaluate operative outcomes of 3 different experience levels of neurosurgeons over time at a single institution.

September 2024
Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, St Petersburg, FL, USA.
Teratomas account for 18-20% of all intracranial germ cell tumors and mostly occur in the pineal region with only a few cases of pediatric sellar and suprasellar teratomas described in the literature. Here, we present a case of a child with an intracranial mature teratoma with pancreatic features causing vasospasm and subsequent stroke, found to be positive for CDKN2A-an independent variant associated with malignancy and small vessel disease leading to stroke.

Background: Intracranial teratoma represents a rare neoplasm, occurring predominantly during childhood. Characteristic symptoms depend on the location but are mainly hydrocephalus, visual disturbances, hypopituitarism, and diabetes insipidus. Initial diagnosis can be challenging due to similar radiological features in both teratomas and other lesions such as craniopharyngiomas.
