Pineal Region Tumors

Abstract

Pineal region tumors cover a large spectrum of benign and malignant tumor structures with multiple cell types. Germ cell tumors are more frequent in men and whereas the frequency of pineal cell tumors is equal in both sexes. Generally, obstructive type hydrocephalus accompanies this situation. As a result of this, increased intracranial pressure symptoms appear. MRI and germ cell markers are diagnostically valuable. Malignant germ cell or pineal cell tumors disseminate through CSF flow circulation into ventricles or spinal cord. The histological diagnosis should be made for the optimal treatment of pineal region tumors, because of the various tumor subtypes. Although current microsurgery techniques provide acceptable mortality and morbidity results, the surgical resection is difficult. The surgical intervention is curative for benign tumors and germ cell tumors and is positively correlated with the lifespan.
