Central nervous system germinoma with triple localization: A case report
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Germinoma of the central nervous system are rare. We report the case of a 14 year old girl who presented with a pituitary tumor syndrome. Brain MRI showed a triple localization of germinoma tumor in supresellar cellar, mesencephalic and pineal regions; a stereotaxic biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of germinoma which was successfully treated by radeotherapy and chemotherapy. The prognosis in children is excellent because of their chemo- and radiosensitivity.
