Paraganglioma of the orbit with extension to the middle cranial fossa: case report.

abstract：:From 1978 to 1988, 314 patients with malignant astrocytoma were treated by our neuro-oncology team. Twenty-five patients were excluded from further analysis because of a lack of adequate follow-up, the brain-stem location of the tumor, or an age of less than 18 years. Of the 289 remaining patients in the valid study g...
