RESUMEN
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 25 pacientes menores de 15 años de edad con diagnóstico confirmado de neoplasia intracraneal, quienes fueron atendidos en el Hospital Infantil Sur de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero del 2010 hasta junio del 2013, a fin de caracterizarles según criterios clinicohistopatológico e imagenológico. En la serie predominaron el grupo etario de 1-5 años, el sexo masculino, la localización infratentorial y las neoplasias de tamaño mediano. Desde el punto de vista clínico, los tumores provocaron convulsiones, papiledema y vómitos. A través de la tomografía axial computarizada se observaron imágenes hipodensas e hiperintensas en T2 y Flair e hipointensas en T1 mediante la resonancia magnética, en casi todos los afectados. El astrocitoma fue el tipo histológico prevaleciente sobre todo en la localización infratentorial y en los niños de 1-5 años
ABSTRACT
A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 25 patients under 15 years with confirmed diagnosis of intracraneal neoplasm was carried out, who were assisted in the Southern Children Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2010 to June, 2013, in order to characterize them according to clinical histopathological and imagenologic criteria. In the series there was a prevalence of 1-5 years age group, male sex, infratentorial localization and medium size neoplasms. From the clinical point of view, the tumors caused convulsions, papilledema and vomits. Through the CT scan, hypodense and hyperintense images were observed in T2 and Flair and through magnetic resonance, hypointense images in T1 were observed in almost all the affected patients. The astrocytoma was the histological prevalent type mainly in the infratentorial localization and in children aged 1-5
