Determination of HVA and 5-HIAA in ventricular CSF of patients with brain tumors. 1974

M Porta, and S R Bareggi, and M Collice, and M Ferrara, and G Calderini, and P L Morselli

Ventricular concentrations of homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were evaluated in 17 patients suffering from brain tumor and 4 pseudo-tumor patients. Significant differences were observed in those patients in whom the tumor leads to a marked modified CSF dynamic. No relationship were on the contrary observed between VFP and HVA or 5-HIAA levels.

D010648 Phenylacetates Derivatives of phenylacetic acid. Included under this heading are a variety of acid forms, salts, esters, and amides that contain the benzeneacetic acid structure. Note that this class of compounds should not be confused with derivatives of phenyl acetate, which contain the PHENOL ester of ACETIC ACID.

D011559 Pseudotumor Cerebri A condition marked by raised intracranial pressure and characterized clinically by HEADACHES; NAUSEA; PAPILLEDEMA, peripheral constriction of the visual fields, transient visual obscurations, and pulsatile TINNITUS. OBESITY is frequently associated with this condition, which primarily affects women between 20 and 44 years of age. Chronic PAPILLEDEMA may lead to optic nerve injury (see OPTIC NERVE DISEASES) and visual loss (see BLINDNESS).

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
