title: [Glioneuronal tumor with neuropil-like islands in a neonate].
abstract: Glioneuronal tumor with neuropil-like islands - GTNI is a rare histopatological subtype of anaplastic astrocytoma. English-language literature contains only 43 observations, among them only 4 observations in children up to 18 years. Neuropil is an eosinophilic stained a cellular foci of tumor tissue. These cells demonstrate less proliferation activity than prevailing glial component, which is characterized by a high degree of atypia - Gr III according to WHO classification. Single reports about verification of the glioneuronal tumor with neuropil-like islands in children are supplemented with an observation of the case with tumor, located in lateral ventricular in infant with the onset of hypertension symptoms at the age of 11 months. The potential for complete removal of these tumors despite its large size and young age of the child is presented. However, the prognosis in infants with GTNI despite completeness of removal and chemotherapy might be extremely unfavorable - in case of intraventricular localization progression in the form of tumor implantation on ventricular ependyma is possible.
