All children were operated upon between 1969 and 1979. Among these children, 35 completed the treatment with radiotherapy. The irradiation was usually limited to the intracranial content but in 7 patients, it was extended to the spinal axis as well. Malignant ependymomas represented 69% of the whole series (86% of the supratentorial and 53% of the infratentorial ependymomas). The operative mortality rate was 17%. The 5-year survival rate was 39% in the whole series and 51% when excluding postoperative mortality. Recurrences developed in 41% of cases and metastases in 20%. The study of this series and of the literature points out that: (1) metastases from supratentorial ependymomas are not frequent, almost always supratentorial and secondary to a malignant ependymoma, and (2) metastases from infratentorial ependymomas are almost always intraspinal and occur in one third of these tumors. The rate of seeding is especially high in the case of malignant infratentorial ependymomas (50%) but is also 15% in the case of benign tumors. These data lead the authors to propose a craniospinal irradiation in the case of infratentorial ependymomas whether benign or malignant, an irradiation of only the brain in the case of malignant supratentorial ependymoma, an irradiation of only the tumoral bed when ependymomas are benign and supratentorial.</p>","PeriodicalId":9836,"journal":{"name":"Child's brain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000120108","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17922403","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}

Evidence suggests this may be due to a mismatch between the pressure/flow performance characteristics of the shunt valve and the pathologic hydrodynamics of the ventricular cerebrospinal fluid. Commercially available shunts are currently tested using a steady-state pressure/flow method. We have utilized a bench testing method which incorporates pulsed flow and varying compliance. Results indicate that with minimal compliance in the system, opening and closing pressures differ markedly in value with pulsed flow as compared to steady-state testing. The greater the compliance the less deviation was noted. It is recommended more effort be made to understand the value of matching pressure/flow characteristics of valve to the individual hydrocephalic state.</p>","PeriodicalId":9836,"journal":{"name":"Child's brain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1983-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000120117","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17933430","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}
