Abstract:

Objective: Study to review clinical, laboratory findings and treatments of our phenomena diagnosed with psodotumor cerebrospinal and in 2013 Friedman and Ark. According to the diagnosis criteria re-defined, it is planned to compare patients with literature by re-defining.  In the Children's Neurology Clinic, 40 patients diagnosed with psodotumor brain were examined backward in terms of clinical findings and treatments. The diagnoses were re-compared according to the Modified Dandy criteria and the 2013 Friedman diagnosis criteria. Results: Modified Dandy criteria showed that 40 patients diagnosed with "clear psodotumor brain" were re-classed according to 2013 diagnostic criteria, while 37 patients diagnosed with no change, and three patients were transferred to the "eventual psodotumor brain" group. The average age of the patients was 11.15±3.32 years, 40% were pre-pubertal, 60% were in pubertal period. Twenty-eight patients (70%) were diagnosed with primary psodotumor brain, while 12 were diagnosed with secondary psodotumor brain (30%). Headache was the frequent application complaint of patients (55 per cent). All patients received medical treatment. A patient who did not respond to the treatment was diagnosed with lumboperitoneal shant.  The result: The signs and findings of our patients were found to be compatible with the literature. 53% of our brain patients with primary psodotumor. It was observed that 5 was associated with obesity, and in terms of secondary psodotumor brain causes, the causes were similar to literature and most responded to medical treatment. The use of the old and new diagnosis criteria will not make a difference in terms of diagnosis and treatment.
