RESUMO

PURPOSE: The study aimed to summarize all published cases of intrinsic brainstem epidermoid cysts in a timeline to highlight the specific characteristics and individualize the disease, in addition to discussing the best treatment used. METHODS: The scientific literature on pediatric cases of intrinsic epidermoid cysts of the brainstem was analyzed. We present the case of a 1.5-year-old male with incidental presentation, who was treated with gross total resection. We summarize all previously published cases to individualize the disease. RESULTS: We identified 21 patients, including 10 boys and 11 girls, with a mean age of 4.85 (1-15) years at the time of surgery. The most frequent symptoms were cranial nerve palsy (71.4%), pyramidal tract deficit (57.14%), and headache (52.38%). Among the affected cranial nerves, VII was the most frequently reported in 10 patients. CONCLUSION: Brainstem epidermoid cysts are extremely rare pathologies with relevant age involvement in young children. The treatment objective should be the maximum resection of the lesion through a careful approach and with the appropriate tools for the functional preservation of the patient.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: In this article, we describe a new safe entry point for the posterolateral pons. METHODS: To show the adjacent anatomy and measure the part of the interpeduncular sulcus that can be safely accessed, we first performed a review of the literature regarding the pons anatomy and its surgical approaches. Thereafter, 1 human cadaveric head and 15 (30 sides) human brainstems with attached cerebellums were bilaterally dissected with the fiber microdissection technique. A clinical correlation was made with an illustrative case of a dorsolateral pontine World Health Organization grade I astrocytoma. RESULTS: The safe distance for accessing the interpeduncular sulcus was found to extend from the caudal end of the lateral mesencephalic sulcus to the point at which the intrapontine segment of the trigeminal nerve crosses the interpeduncular sulcus. The mean distance was 8.2 mm (range, 7.15-8.85 mm). Our interpeduncular sulcus safe entry zone can be exposed through a paramedian infratentorial supracerebellar approach. When additional exposure is required, the superior portion of the quadrangular lobule of the cerebellar hemispheric tentorial surface can be removed. In the presented case, surgical resection of the tumor was performed achieving a gross total resection, and the patient was discharged without neurologic deficit. CONCLUSIONS: The interpeduncular sulcus safe entry zone provides an alternative direct route for treating intrinsic pathologic entities situated in the posterolateral tegmen of the pons between the superior and middle cerebellar peduncles. The surgical corridor provided by this entry point avoids most eloquent neural structures, thereby preventing surgical complications.
