The prognosis for a subependymoma is better than for most ependymal tumors, [3] and it is considered a grade I tumor in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. They are classically found within the fourth ventricle , typically have a well demarcated interface to normal tissue and do not usually extend into the brain parenchyma ...
An ependymoma is a tumor that arises from the ependyma, a tissue of the central nervous system. Usually, in pediatric cases the location is intracranial , while in adults it is spinal . The common location of intracranial ependymomas is the floor of the fourth ventricle .
Within the ventricles of the brain, a population of modified ependymal cells and capillaries together known as the tela choroidea form a structure called the choroid plexus, which produces the CSF. [5] Modified tight junctions between epithelial cells control fluid release. This release allows free exchange between CSF and nervous tissue of ...

Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA, SGCA, or SGCT) is a low-grade astrocytic brain tumor (astrocytoma) that arises within the ventricles of the brain. [1] It is most commonly associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Although it is a low-grade tumor, its location can potentially obstruct the ventricles and lead to hydrocephalus.
Pediatric ependymomas are similar in nature to the adult form of ependymoma in that they are thought to arise from radial glial cells lining the ventricular system.However, they differ from adult ependymomas in which genes and chromosomes are most often affected, the region of the brain they are most frequently found in, and the prognosis of the patients.
Using gene transfer of SV40 large T-antigen in neuronal precursor cells of rats, a brain tumor model was established. The PNETs were histologically indistinguishable from the human counterparts and have been used to identify new genes involved in human brain tumor carcinogenesis. [ 3 ]
