ABSTRACT

A case with arteriovenous malformation (AVM) associated with moyamoya phenomenon is reported. The 44 year-old female patient was presented with headache and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed intraventricular hemorrhage. Cerebral angiography showed right frontal AVM and severe stenosis of right internal carotid artery. The AVM was fed by typical moyamoya vessels, Heubner's artery, and external carotid artery (ECA). We tried to embolize a bleeding point, compartment attached to lateral ventricle, but we could not. So, we embolized feeders from ECA and sent the patient to radiosurgery. We discuss here treatment and etiology of such rare condition.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: There are no previous reports about de novo germ cell tumors without any past history of germ cell tumor. We describe a case of de novo cerebral germinoma in association with Klinefelter's syndrome. CASE DESCRIPTION: A boy had undergone growth hormone therapy for dwarfism because of hypopituitarism from 10 to 17 years old. The result of karyotyping at the age of 13 was 47,XXY. Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the brain at the age of 17 years showed no lesions. Two years later, at the age of 19, the patient noticed onset of mild right hemiparesis. MR imaging revealed the existence of a brain tumor in the left temporal lobe and hypothalamus. The patient underwent an operation and the histologic diagnosis of the lesion was germinoma. After postoperative chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the lesion disappeared and the patient was discharged uneventfully. CONCLUSIONS: To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of a germ cell tumor to be de novo without any past history of other germ cell tumor and the seventh case in which it occurred in association with Klinefelter's syndrome.
