  • Look Inside

Six-Months old male infant; It was a full term delivery accompanied by dystocia and asphyxia. One month and half after the birth, he showed symptoms such as slow reaction to light, vomiting, tremors, a marked hydro-cephalus with fever. Although he received lumbar and ventricular punctures, the aspi-ration of the fluid gradually became difficult, and died about four and half months after the onset of the illness.

Postmortem examination: The infant had a head circumference of 55 cm, and the brain weighed 2,010g. A light grayish white and well-defined tumor, 7×6×7cm in size, was found in the left cerebral hemisphere. The left cerebral ventricle was markedly compressed by the tumor, while the right ventricle was greatly dilated, revealing internal hydro-and pyocephalus due to purulent leptomeningi-tis. In addition, congenital cysts could be recognized in the cerebellum.

Microscopically, there could be observed epithelioid structure, a rosette formation, so-called "Strahlenkrone" and papillary as well as diffuse proliferation of tumor cells.
