BORRERO FERNANDEZ, Anabel; PONS PORRATA, Laura María  y  PULLES SOLIS, José Manuel. Intracranial neuroblastoma in a girl. MEDISAN [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.2  Epub 28-Abr-2023. ISSN 1029-3019.

The case report of a 13 months girl is described who was assisted in the Neurosurgery Service of Antonio María Béguez Cesar Southern Children Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, and later on in the Oncology Service of the institution, referred from the health area due to proptosis, exophthalmos of the right eye and increase of the cranial perimeter. After the clinical exam and the pertinent complementary studies, including simple and contrasted magnetic resonance of skull, histopatologic study, as well as aspiration and bilateral biopsy of bone marrow, the presence of a parameningeal neuroblastoma with medullary infiltration (stage IV), without evidence of primary tumor was confirmed. The evolution after the chemotherapeutic treatment was satisfactory.
