Electroencephalographical-anatomical correlation of brain tumours in infancy and childhood. 1981

N Chiofalo, and V Armengol, and A Fuentes, and O Olivares, and J Madsen, and P Vidal

EEG correlated with anatomical aspects of 198 brain tumours in children gave the following results in hemispheric neoplasms: a rather precise location in 40% of the cases; lateralized in 42%; 14% showed only generalized anomalies and 4% were normal tracings. The findings depended on location and ICP condition, but not on neurological signs nor on histological nature. Basal-midline location (88 tumors) displayed 82.4% abnormal EEGs; 50% pointed to the more invaded hemisphere, mainly from the upper brain stem, ventricles and basal ganglia regions. Hypophyseal tumours gave 50% abnormalities with proved compression of the third ventricle, hypothalamus and cerebral peduncles. In posterior fossa tumours (60 cases), abnormalities are frequent (86.7%), but the localizing value of EEG is uncertain due to bisynchronous bursts mainly in the occipital region; 15% were lateralized with correlating asymmetrical location and/or growth of tumours. Differences compared to adult tumours are mentioned as specially influenced by maturational processes of the brain.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D008297 Male Males
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
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.

D005071 Evoked Potentials Electrical responses recorded from nerve, muscle, SENSORY RECEPTOR, or area of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM following stimulation. They range from less than a microvolt to several microvolts. The evoked potential can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), or motor (EVOKED POTENTIALS, MOTOR), or other modalities that have been reported.
