==Overview==
Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is generally located in the caudothalamic groove adjacent to the [[foramen of Monro]] and it presents commonly in the first two decades of life. It can lead to a few complications such as [[obstructive hydrocephalus]], intratumoral [[hemorrhage]], and death. Although the [[prognosis]] may be poor, patients who undergo [[surgical resection]] and those below the age of 18 have a better [[prognosis]].

Overview

Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is generally located in the caudothalamic groove adjacent to the foramen of Monro and it presents commonly in the first two decades of life. It can lead to a few complications such as obstructive hydrocephalus, intratumoral hemorrhage, and death. Although the prognosis may be poor, patients who undergo surgical resection and those below the age of 18 have a better prognosis.
