J10 post ETV & biopsy Pre operative


•  Illustration case 1 – Diagnosis: astrocytoma III – Treatement: conventional surgery astrocytoma III was confirmed



– 21 y.o. ", recent diplopia – CT MR imaging: pineal tumor – Pet methionine: + – Blood α fetoproteine , βHCG: nl < 1 mUI/ml – CSF α fetoproteine: nl, βHCG: & 3 mUI/ml



Advanced endoscopic biopsy

Advanced endoscopic biopsy


•  Illustration case 2 – Treatment: chemotherapy & radiotherapy

2 cycles carbo/ etoposide / Ifosfamide 40 Gy radiotherapy

15 X 1.6 Gy ( GTV + 1.5cm + ventricules) = 24 Gy 10 X 1.6 Gy ( GTV + 1.5cm ) = 16 Gy


•  Illustration case 2 – Treatment: chémothérapy & radiotherapy
