15 yo male with progressive history of severe headaches, visual disturbances and prominent vessels in temporal regions. On CT Scan, an enhancing intraventricular tumor is seen as well as expansion of IV ventricle. What is the most likely diagnosis?
A 63 yo man with seizures, headache, spasms and weakness of right upper and lower extremities. CT Scan shows an irregular enhancing ring lesion involving the left parietal lobe and associated edema. Neurosurgery recommends craniotomy and resection of tumor followed by radiation and chemotherapy. The pathology report shows pseudopalisading arrangements. What is the most likely diagnosis?
A 12 yo girl presents to the ER with clumsiness, poor handwriting, unsteady gait and headache developing over the last few months. Patient now dehydrated secondary to frequent morning emesis.
