HERNANDEZ ROMAN, Greysi et al. Intracranial ependymoma: clinical, molecular and pathological notes. []. , 42, 5, pp. 2355-2365.   30--2020. ISSN 1684-1824.

Ependymomas arise from ependymal cells that line the ventricles and passages in the brain and center of the spinal cord. Ependymal cells produce cerebrospinal fluid. It was decided to conduct a review about intracranial ependymoma taking into account that there is no national article dealing with this issue, with most of the works consulted referring to the same histological variant but in spinal location, whose objective is to describe the clinical characteristics, Molecular and pathological pathways of intracranial ependymoma. We searched articles in journals of the databases: PubMed, Scielo and EBSCO. The search was limited to articles with the full text, published mainly in the last five years. Intracranial ependymoma is a frequent tumor in the pediatric age, its clinical manifestations depend on its location, it has a great molecular and anatomoptological diversity.
