ABSTRACT

The pineal gland tumors represent 3-8% from the total number of cerebral tumors in the child. The mean age at onset ranges between 10 and 13 years. Symptoms are correlated tightly with both the anatomic relations of the pineal gland and the hystological structure of the tumor. The most encountered simptoms include headache, nausea, vomiting, all having as cause the compression on the surrounding tissues and the consecutive hydrocephaly. The authors present a 6 years old female child admitted in Clinic II Pediatrics for repeated vomiting, headache. Eye background examination revealed the papila of the optic nerve with erased contur while the MRI exam found a pineal gland tumor accompanied by triventricular hydrocephaly

Key words: vomiting, headache, pinealoma

REZUMAT

Tumorile de glandă pineală reprezintă 3-8% din totalul tumorilor cerebrale la copil. Vârsta medie de debut se situează între 10-13 ani. Simptomatologia clinică este în strânsă legătură atât cu relaţiile anatomice ale glandei pineale, cât şi cu structura histologică a formaţiunii tumorale. Cele mai frecvente simptome includ cefaleea, greţurile, vărsăturile, toate având ca substrat compresiunea pe structurile învecinate şi hidrocefalia consecutivă. Autorii prezintă cazul unei fetiţe în vârstă de 6 ani, internată în Clinica II Pediatrie pentru vărsături incoercibile, cefalee în cască. La examenul fundului de ochi se observă papila nervului optic cu contur şters iar examinarea RMN evidenţiază tumoră de glandă pineală cu hidrocefalie triventriculară.

Cuvinte cheie: vărsături, cefalee, pinealom
