Abstract

O astrocitoma pilocítico de tronco cerebral é uma entidade menos comum na população pediátrica, usualmente acometida por este tipo de tumor, correspondendo a 9% de todos os astrocitomas pilocíticos juvenis (APJ) (Burkhard et al., 2003). Será reportado um caso de APJ em um paciente de 22 anos que se apresentava com comprometimento do VIII, IX, X e XI nervos cranianos esquerdos além de hemiparesia direita. Foi submetido a abordagem microcirúrgica com ressecção subtotal guiada por neuronavegação. A ressecção foi limitada por instabilidade hemodinâmica intraoperatória. O paciente teve remissão dos sintomas neurológicos e controle adequado da lesão em 12 meses. Serão discutidas particularidades da estratégia cirúrgica e sobre o manejo oncológico do APJ. O astrocitoma pilocítico é tido como um dos gliomas de melhor prognóstico (Ostrom et al., 2015), no entanto, a localização no tronco cerebral limita a possibilidade de ressecção completa (Cavalheiro et al., 2015). A ressecção subtotal é viável (Sherry Liu et al., 2016), devendo-se priorizar a ressecção máxima segura.
