Basal ganglia and thalamic tumours: an imaging approximation
2002
Introduction.Among brain tumours, those arising from the deep brain are rare. In many cases they are low-grade astrocytomas. But primitive neuroectodermal tumours, ganglion cell tumours, oligodendrogliomas, lymphomas, and germinal neoplasms can also grow up from the basal ganglia and thalamic region. In other occasions peripheral neoplasms developing in neighbouring structures like the cerebral lobes, the ventricular walls, choroidal plexus, pineal gland and the hypothalamic-chiasmatic-suprasellar region can spread to the deep brain.
