Case 1 involved a telovelar approach for the resection of a medulloblastoma, resulting in complete removal without neurological deficits. Case 2 required a combination of telovelar and supracerebellar infratentorial approaches to achieve gross total resection of a pilocytic astrocytoma. In Case 3, an occipital transtentorial approach was utilized to access and completely resect an atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor. Connclusion: The paper discusses the telovelar and transvermian approaches, the supracerebellar infratentorial approach, the transtentorial suboccipital approach, and intraventricular endoscopy as individual or combined approaches for posterior fossa tumors. The presented cases highlight the importance of tailoring the surgical approach to each patient and provide valuable insights for neurosurgeons managing similar clinical scenarios.","PeriodicalId":491452,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136312815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to describe the evolution of cerebellar mutism and identify relevant factors in its pathophysiology and prognosis. Methods: A review was conducted on three cases of children who underwent surgery for posterior fossa tumors by the same surgical team and developed postoperative cerebellar mutism. The study analyzed preoperative clinical presentation, mutism manifestation, and recovery. Additionally, a literature review was performed on the emergence, evolution, and prognosis. Results: Case 1 involved a 3-year-old girl with medulloblastoma who experienced mutism, behavioral changes, and self-mutilation after surgery. Symptoms resolved after one month but recurred with a subsequent operation, resolving again after a month. Case 2 featured a 15-year-old girl who developed severe posterior fossa syndrome, including mutism, dysarthria, aphasia, and motor impairments. With support care, she gradually improved over a year. Case 3 involved a 4-year-old boy with cerebral palsy and a posterior fossa tumor. He experienced akinetic mutism, resolved over time with rehabilitation therapies. Discussion: Cerebellar mutism following posterior fossa surgery has implications for patient recovery. It primarily involves impairment of cerebellar outflow pathways rather than direct brainstem or cortical lesions. Identifying at-risk patients remains challenging, though younger age and specific tumor characteristics may increase the likelihood of mutism. Rehabilitation, including physical and speech therapies, plays a crucial role in promoting recovery. Effective communication and support for patients and their families are essential during the recovery process.","PeriodicalId":491452,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135691372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Very common in the daily routine of pediatric neurosurgeons, these tumors remain one of the most challenging pathologies we must face. The importance and complexity of the anatomical structures of the posterior fossa, associated with the enormous histological variety of neoplastic lesions in this region, make its therapeutic approach difficult and even more challenging. The degree of surgical resection plays a determining role in the prognosis and cure possibilities for the children with posterior fossa tumors; on the other hand, gross total resection is related to the much feared cerebellar mutism syndrome, related to serious cognitive and behavioral sequelae. Every pediatric neurosurgeon's nightmare, this subject deserves special attention in our edition. Ballestero and Juca review the literature, discuss the concepts of mutism, predisposing factors, pathophysiology, and available treatments.
 However, mutism prevention after surgical resection is essential. In addition to excellent mastery of microneurosurgery techniques and in-depth anatomical knowledge of the structures of the posterior fossa, pediatric neurosurgeons must use all the most advanced technologies to protect their patients and obtain the best results. Therefore, Kodangeski and Pinheiro discuss the use of electrophysiological monitoring during resection surgeries for posterior fossa tumors. Ahmed also emphasizes the importance of neuronavigation in these surgeries, as a significant tool to reduce morbidity and mortality.
 Around 70 to 90% of posterior fossa tumors present with hydrocephalus. The treatment of hydrocephalus before, during or after tumor resection is a very controversial subject, with different approaches among groups. Mandic retrospectively applies the success scores of endoscopic third ventriculocysternostomy in a group of patients with posterior fossa tumors and analyzes its efficiency.
 Costa pays special attention to posterior fossa ependymomas. Despite the explosion of genomic and epigenomic knowledge of these tumors in recent decades, surgery still plays an essential role in their treatment because the main objective as gross total resection represents a great technical challenge for the neurosurgeon.
 Besides to medulloblastomas, astrocytoma and ependymomas, more rarely other histological types can involve the posterior fossa and should be considered as differential diagnosis of these lesions. Therefore, Lopez presents clinical cases of choroid plexus papilloma and Rabelo Rodrigues reviews the cases of hemangioblastomas found in the literature.
 Even though posterior fossa tumors are predominant in children of preschool and school age, Dassi presents a series of cases in patients under two years of age, highlighting the histological characteristics and treatment strategies in this age group.

The infratentorial location is a challenge to neuro-oncologist and -surgeons due their subtle clinical presentation, different histopathological types, biological behaviors, and anesthetic-surgery difficulties.
 Methods: Single center retrospective study of infants diagnosed with posterior fossa tumors between 2010 and 2023.
 Results: Nineteen patients were included. Mean age 8.8 months; eight males. The most common presenting symptom was torticollis (n-6, 31.6%), followed by vomiting (n-3, 15.8%) and increased head circumference (n-3, 15.8%). Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT) was the most common subtype (n-11, 57.9%), followed by Medulloblastoma (MB). Metastatic disease at diagnosis was evident in five cases. Seventeen patients initially underwent correction of hydrocephalus. Regarding surgical resection, one (5.3%) patient underwent biopsy, 13 (68.4%) complete resection, four (21%) partial resection. Only one patient, diagnosed with ependymoma, did not receive chemotherapy after surgery, 14/19 received high-dose chemotherapy, eight of these followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT). Focal radiotherapy (RT) was performed in four patients with AT/RT and in one ependymoma, following ABMT and complete resection, respectively. Event-free survival at 2 and 5 years was 64.9% and overall survival 63.2% and 54.2% respectively.

 Methods: A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines, searching for articles published in PubMed, Web of Science, and Lilacs in the last ten years. Inclusion criteria involved studies on human subjects under 18 years of age, focusing on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of POPCMS.
 Results: The review identified 34 studies on POPCMS for final inclusion. Preoperative risk factors commonly associated with cerebellar mutism included midline tumor location, diagnosis of medulloblastoma, younger age at diagnosis, preoperative language impairment, brainstem infiltration, and tumor histology. The SHH subgroup was found to reduce the risk of CMS. Diagnostic criteria for POPCMS included language impairment, emotional lability, hypotonia, oropharyngeal dysfunction, dysphagia, cerebellar motor syndrome, cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome, and brainstem dysfunction. Treatment approaches varied, with medications showing potential benefits. Rehabilitation options for speech and language deficits were limited. Cognitive remediation programs showed promise in improving academic achievement and attention. A significant proportion of patients experienced clinical improvement.

Despite extensive research, the median overall survival remains low, and current treatment mainly relies on radiotherapy.

However, the relationship between genetic alterations, imaging features, and prognosis is not yet fully understood. This review provides an overview of DIPG, including its clinical presentation, typical imaging findings (with a focus on MRI techniques), diagnostic challenges, treatment modalities, and recent advancements in molecular understanding. DIPG presents with characteristic neurological symptoms and often manifests as an expansile intra-axial mass in the pons, usually exhibiting typical MRI findings. Diffusion-weighted imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy can provide additional insights. Pathologically, most DIPGs are pediatric type of diffuse high-grade gliomas, with specific histological features and occasional leptomeningeal spread. Radiotherapy remains the mainstay treatment.

The MEDLINE and ClinicalTrials databases were searched for studies on posterior fossa ependymomas, 64 studies met the search criteria. 
 Symptoms include ataxia, vertigo, headache, vomiting, cranial nerve palsies, or papilledema, resulting from intracranial hypertension due to obstruction of CSF circulation. Imaging examination often reveals posterior fossa ependymomas in the fourth ventricle or cerebellopontine angle; they may extend through the foramina of Luschka, Magendie, and/or magnum. These tumors cause a significant mass effect, displacing rather than invading the hidbrain, and may involve vessels or cranial nerves, making surgical resection difficult. Various radiological features have been studied to distinguish between ependymomas and other histological types, as well as between ependymoma subtypes. 
 The 2021 WHO classification of central nervous system tumors classifies ependymomas by location. Three types occur in the posterior fossa: subependymomas, PF-A, and PF-B. These are differentiated by the degree of DNA methylation and CpG islands, which can be assessed by immunohistochemical analysis with H3K27me3. 
 The consensus on the treatment of posterior fossa ependymomas in children advocates the maximum possible surgical resection, followed by radiotherapy in patients >1 year. Chemotherapy remains controversial, with no survival gain. Recent studies suggest molecular subgroups as an independent prognostic factor in posterior fossa ependymomas.

 Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ETV in the treatment of hydrocephalus related to PFT and to evaluate the accuracy of the ETV success score in predicting ETV success.
 Methods: Patients under 18 years of age who underwent ETV before PFT resection between 1996 and 2021 were included in a retrospective study. The ETV success score was retrospectively obtained for all patients, and its predictive capacity was compared to the actual success observed.
 Results: Of the 59 surgical cases, a global success rate of 62.7% was observed in the first 6 months following ETV. This rate dropped to 50.8% for those patients reassessed one year after surgery. There was no correlation between the success rate and the histological grade of the tumor or the age of the patient. The ETV success score presented acceptable accuracy at both time points (AUC = 0.671 at 6 months, AUC = 0.649 at one year).
