Intestinal abnormalities with central nervous system malignancy. 1986

S S Kaufman, and C M Goldgar, and F Fitzmaurice, and D L Antonson, and J A Vanderhoof

Two anorectic, emaciated infants with central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms are reported. Diagnosis in each case was delayed, because computed tomography of the head was initially falsely negative, and because primary gastroenterologic illness was suggested by the presence of mild inflammation and villous atrophy of the small intestine. This experience indicates that the diagnosis of CNS neoplasm must be aggressively pursued in cachectic infants who refuse to eat, regardless of the results of the initial radiologic studies. Mild histologic abnormalities of the small intestine that may be present in infants with brain tumors probably represent a nonspecific response to starvation and, if unassociated with malabsorption, should not be considered the cause of illness.

D009901 Optic Nerve Diseases Conditions which produce injury or dysfunction of the second cranial or optic nerve, which is generally considered a component of the central nervous system. Damage to optic nerve fibers may occur at or near their origin in the retina, at the optic disk, or in the nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, or lateral geniculate nuclei. Clinical manifestations may include decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, impaired color vision, and an afferent pupillary defect.

D002551 Cerebral Ventricle Neoplasms Neoplasms located in the brain ventricles, including the two lateral, the third, and the fourth ventricle. Ventricular tumors may be primary (e.g., CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS and GLIOMA, SUBEPENDYMAL), metastasize from distant organs, or occur as extensions of locally invasive tumors from adjacent brain structures.
