“…Radiological techniques such as perfusion-weighted imaging make it possible to study the tumor and its microvasculature in detail along with the pattern of neovascularization [10]. Though pilomyxoid variant of PA and low-grade gliomas in suprasellar location have occasionally been reported with spontaneous hemorrhage due to rapid proliferation, classical PA with spontaneous hemorrhage in children is an extremely rare entity [2,7]. On a thorough search of the English literature, we found only three previous reports on supratentorial PA presenting with hemorrhage in children [1,3,15] [ Table 1].…”

“…Именно симптомами кровоизлияния и про-явило себя заболевание. В научной литературе мы встретили наблюдение оптической глиомы с суб-арахноидальным и внутрижелудочковым кровоиз-лиянием [1]. Этими же авторами представлен обзор научных статей -наблюдения ГПЗП, протекавших с кровоизлияниями.…”

“…Составляя от 3 до 5% интракраниальных опухо-лей у детей и являясь, как правило, пилоидными астроцитомами, ГПЗП занимают 2-е место среди причин слепоты у пациентов с нейрохирургической патологией детского возраста. У взрослого контин-гента ГПЗП встречаются еще реже [1,2]. Считается, что у взрослых пациентов эти опухоли представлены обычно злокачественными астроцитомами или глио-бластомами [3].…”

OBJECTIVE Hemorrhage (also known as apoplexy) in optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) is rare. Because of the variable presentations and low incidence of OPG hemorrhages, little is known about their clinical course and the best treatment options. The aim of this work was to review risk factors, clinical course, and treatment strategies of optic glioma hemorrhages in the largest possible number of cases. METHODS A total of 34 patients were analyzed. Nine new cases were collected, and 25 were identified in the literature. Data regarding demographics, radiological and histological features, treatment, and outcome were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS The majority of patients were younger than 20 years. Only 3 patients were known to have neurofibromatosis. The histopathological diagnosis was pilocytic astrocytoma in the majority of cases. Five patients had intraorbital hemorrhages, whereas 29 patients had intracranial hemorrhage; the majority of intracranial bleeds were treated surgically. Six patients, all with intracranial hemorrhage, died due to recurrent bleeding, hydrocephalus, or surgical complications. No clear risk factors could be identified. CONCLUSIONS Intracerebral OPG hemorrhages have a fatal outcome in 20% of cases. Age, hormonal status, neurofibromatosis involvement, and histopathological diagnosis have been suggested as risk factors for hemorrhage, but this cannot be reliably established from the present series. The goals of surgery should be patient survival and prevention of further neurological and ophthalmological deterioration.
