tumores supratentoriales
Scope note: Tumores primarios y metastásicos (secundarios) del cerebro localizados por encima de la tienda del cerebelo, un pliegue de la duramadre que separa el CEREBELO y el TRONCO CEREBRAL de los hemisferios cerebrales y del DIENCÉFALO (es decir, TÁLAMO e HIPOTÁLAMO y las estructuras relacionadas). En adultos, las neoplasias primarias tienden a originarse en el compartimiento supratentorial, en tanto que en los niños ocurren con mayor frecuencia en el espacio infratentorial. Las manifestaciones clínicas varían según la localización de la lesión, pero son relativamente frecuentes las CONVULSIONES, AFASIA, HEMIANOPSIA, hemiparesia y déficits sensoriales. Las neoplasias supratentoriales metastásicas frecuentemente son múltiples en el momento de su presentación.

Scope note: Primary and metastatic (secondary) tumors of the brain located above the tentorium cerebelli, a fold of dura mater separating the CEREBELLUM and BRAIN STEM from the cerebral hemispheres and DIENCEPHALON (i.e., THALAMUS and HYPOTHALAMUS and related structures). In adults, primary neoplasms tend to arise in the supratentorial compartment, whereas in children they occur more frequently in the infratentorial space. Clinical manifestations vary with the location of the lesion, but SEIZURES; APHASIA; HEMIANOPSIA; hemiparesis; and sensory deficits are relatively common features. Metastatic supratentorial neoplasms are frequently multiple at the time of presentation.
