phenytoin and Astrocytoma

phenytoin has been researched along with Astrocytoma in 17 studies

Astrocytoma: Neoplasms of the brain and spinal cord derived from glial cells which vary from histologically benign forms to highly anaplastic and malignant tumors. Fibrillary astrocytomas are the most common type and may be classified in order of increasing malignancy (grades I through IV). In the first two decades of life, astrocytomas tend to originate in the cerebellar hemispheres; in adults, they most frequently arise in the cerebrum and frequently undergo malignant transformation. (From Devita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2013-7; Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1082)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The authors believe that diencephalic seizures can present with a spectrum of autonomic features, and treatment should be tailored with the appropriate pharmacologic blockade."2.40Sympathetic storms in a child with a midbrain glioma: a variant of diencephalic seizures. ( Conway, EJ; DaRosso, RC; Epstein, FJ; Goh, KY; Muszynski, CA, 1999)
"In this study brain tumors developing with tuberous sclerosis were biologically benign; total transcortical tumor removal permanently relieved the attending cerebral hypertension and achieved prolonged survival without notable functional impairment."2.35Brain tumors in hereditary multiple system hamartomatosis (tuberous sclerosis). ( Cooper, JR, 1971)
"dog was presented because of a convulsion."1.25Astrocytoma in a dog causing convulsions. ( Berryman, FC; de Lahunta, A, 1975)
