  • Title: [A case of the lateral ventricular tumor (subependymal glomerate astrocytoma) with preceding Parkinsonian symptoms due to normal pressure hydrocephalus (author's transl)].
    Author: Wakai S, Aoki N, Kubota M, Mizutani H.
    Journal: No Shinkei Geka; 1976 Dec; 4(12):1199-203. PubMed ID: 1034239.
    Abstract:
    Authors report a patient with a subependymal glomerate astrocytoma in the right lateral ventricle. He maifested parkinsonian symptoms and dementia related to the preceding normal pressure hydrocephalus which was proved by an infusion test, and then advanced an akinetic mutism. Soon after a shunting operation was carried out he showed a full recovery from the symptoms, which may suggest that an incomplete block of the ventricular system is one cause of the normal pressure hydrocephalus. From pathology it was revealed that the tumor is an intraventricular astrocytoma with a fibrous stalk and was totally removed with an ease. The findings seem to accord with "Subependymal glomerate astrocytoma" (Boykin.) Further corroboration would be necessary to establish this entity.
