Hemorrhage as a presenting feature in pilocytic astrocytoma is an extremely rare phenomenon. When seen in children, most of such tumors exist in the cerebellum. Rarely, a supratentorial pilocytic astrocytoma can present with bleeding.

Spontaneous hemorrhages in pediatric supratentorial pilocytic astrocytomas. Malignant presentation of a benign entity.

Astroblastoma is a rare tumor of glial origin with characteristics of both astrocytoma and ependymoma. It is usually seen in children and young adults, and is peripherally located, well circumscribed, of solid-cystic composition and with heterogeneous contrast enhancement. Histopathology reveals perivascular pseudorosette formation and thick hyalinised vessels. Hemorrhage in astroblastoma is unusual and rarely described in literature. We report two patients with astroblastoma who presented with hemorrhage and discuss the natural history, radiological findings, pathophysiology of hemorrhage and histopathological characteristics. We emphasize the importance of early suspicion in peripherally located lesions with bleeding. 

Hemorrhage in astroblastoma: An unusual manifestation of an extremely rare entity.

Dermoid cysts are rare intracranial lesions that can occasionally rupture into intraventricular and subarachnoid spaces and can present with a myriad of symptoms. The surgical intervention in such cases is demanding, because the disseminated contents are spread widely in intraventricular and subarachnoid space.

Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is an aggressive tumor of infancy and childhood that rarely presents as a primary spinal or spinal cord tumor. There are only three reported cases of spinal MRT in infants.

Ultra early recurrence in giant congenital malignant rhabdoid tumor of spine.

Degenerative spine disease, encompassing disc prolapse and stenosis, is a common ailment in old age. This prospective study was undertaken to evaluate the role of endoscopic spine surgery in elderly patients (above 70 years of age) with clinical and radiological follow-up.
