Two Cases of CNS Atypical Theratoid Rhabdoid Tumor and Review of Literature

Publication at Second Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (AT / RT) is a rare malignant (WHO grade IV) embryonic central nervous system (CNS) infant. It is an aggressive tumor that exhibits a progressive symptom and usually leads to an infasmustral end within a few months.

However, recent work has produced more optimistic conclusions about the overall survival of these patients, thanks to intensive multimodal therapy (MT). We present two case reports that, among other things, warn the neurological and neurosurgical clinic to include this unit in differential diagnostics in the pediatric neurosonology.
