Abstract:
:Three patients, ages 69, 67, and 74 years, respectively, underwent surgical removal of cystic cerebellar astrocytomas. All three had past histories pointing to the existence of a cerebellar lesion for many decades prior to surgery: Patient 1 had had nystagmus on lateral gaze on the side of the tumor since early childhood; Patient 2 had had sensorineural hearing loss on the side of her neoplasm for 38 years preceding the operation; and Patient 3 was diagnosed as having a brain tumor 51 years before the operation. (He has been blind because of pressure hydrocephalus for half a century, but otherwise managed to live a productive farming and family life until he sustained a head injury in a car accident, which forced him to undergo removal of his cerebellar tumor.) The neoplasms in all three instances were found by histological examination to be low-grade astrocytomas. These cases indicate that low-grade cerebellar astrocytomas, which are well known for their characteristically long postoperative courses, may at times manifest a slow growth potential with an exceptionally long preoperative course.
