ABSTRACT

Los tumores primarios del sistema nervioso representaron aproximadamente el 1,4% de los nuevos diagnósticos de cáncer en 2015 y causan el 2,6% de las muertes por cáncer. Estos tienen una mayor implicación clínica en la población infantil y en adultos jóvenes; y su incidencia disminuye con la edad. Los tumores más frecuentes en los adultos incluyen meningiomas, gliomas y tumores pituitarios. En este artículo se hace una revisión actualizada sobre la epidemiología de los tumores primarios del sistema nervioso, así como las principales características y actualizaciones en el manejo de los tumores más prevalentes en la población adulta.

ABSTRACT

Neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) is a rare congenital disease that is characterized by the presence of large or multiple congenital melanocytic nevi and melanotic lesions of the central nervous system. We report here on the CT and MR imaging findings of an unusual case of NCM that was associated with intraventricular dermoid and Dandy-Walker malformation.
