ABSTRACT
Abstract Cerebellar astrocytoma (low-grade glioma) is the most frequent tumor of the Central Nervous System in pediatric age, corresponding to 10-20% of brain tumors, having its maximum incidence at 5 years. Brain tumors are the second cause of death at this age, behind leukemias. Its most frequent clinic is headache with vomiting which can worsen in the morning and awaken the patient at night. The most frequent ophthalmological clinic is papilledema and involvement of the cranial nerve VI. In our case we present an atypical presentation (cranial IV), in which a quick derivation favored a better prognosis.
RESUMO
Resumo O astrocitoma cerebelar (glioma de baixo grau) é o tumor mais frequente do Sistema Nervoso Central em idade pediátrica, correspondendo a 10-20% dos tumores cerebrais, tendo sua incidência máxima em 5 anos. Os tumores cerebrais são a segunda causa de morte nesta idade, atrás das leucemias. Sua clínica mais frequente é a cefaleia com vômitos que podem piorar pela manhã e despertar o paciente à noite. A clínica oftalmológica mais frequente é o papiledema e o envolvimento do nervo craniano VI. Em nosso caso apresentamos uma apresentação atípica (IV craniana), em que uma derivação rápida favoreceu um melhor prognóstico.
