The now nine years old girl with growth retardation, started to be ill with otitis and then diabetes insipidus of central origin at 1974. A treatment with lysin-vasopressin is prescribed. The PNEG in May 1976 shows a little, pea like, suspicious, supra-sellar nodule who is not surgically explored since they was no ophtalmologic symptoms and because a normal CT scan. Corticoid and thyroid substitutive therapy is added until September 1977 when the general status becomes impaired and vomiting starts. Also because some visual loss, a new neuroradiological study is performed showing a supra-sellar tumour and a fourth ventricle mass. The CT scan asserts the double intracranial expansive process and a posterior fossa craniotomy is done with subtotal resection of a vermian tumour and Torkildsen drainage. The histology is : Immature Dysembryoma (seminoma type) or germinoma. The follow-up was good under hormonal care. X Rays Therapy over the posterior fossa, the suprasellar region, the brain and the spinal channel was instaured. Four months later, the CT scan shows normal sized ventricles and no tumour mass at all. This case gives the authors opportunity for comments and to study the concerned literature.

D010871 Pinealoma Neoplasms which originate from pineal parenchymal cells that tend to enlarge the gland and be locally invasive. The two major forms are pineocytoma and the more malignant pineoblastoma. Pineocytomas have moderate cellularity and tend to form rosette patterns. Pineoblastomas are highly cellular tumors containing small, poorly differentiated cells. These tumors occasionally seed the neuroaxis or cause obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS or Parinaud's syndrome. GERMINOMA; CARCINOMA, EMBRYONAL; GLIOMA; and other neoplasms may arise in the pineal region with germinoma being the most common pineal region tumor.

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.

D002528 Cerebellar Neoplasms Primary or metastatic neoplasms of the CEREBELLUM. Tumors in this location frequently present with ATAXIA or signs of INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION due to obstruction of the fourth ventricle. Common primary cerebellar tumors include fibrillary ASTROCYTOMA and cerebellar HEMANGIOBLASTOMA. The cerebellum is a relatively common site for tumor metastases from the lung, breast, and other distant organs.
