Introducción: Los tumores neuroectodérmicos primitivos supratentoriales (TNEP) suponen el 2-3% de los tumores cerebrales infantiles. Se suelen presentar en la primera década de la vida, y están constituido por células neuroepiteliales indiferenciadas o poco diferenciadas, teniendo un comportamiento agresivo y rápida evolución.
Material y métodos: Se describe el caso de un lactante de 3 meses de edad, con diagnóstico inicial de meningitis bacteriana, manejado con antibioticoterapia. Al no evidenciarse evolución del cuadro, se realizan imágenes y pruebas imnunohistoquímicas que arrojan el diagnóstico de un TNEP localizado en región fronto-temporal derecha, de rápida progresión clínica hacia la muerte.
Conclusion: La acelerada evolución y la agresividad con la que se comportan estos tumores representa un alto nivel de mortalidad, su diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno son vital para una evolución favorable del cuadro.
Introduction: Primitive supratentorial neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) account for 2-3% of childhood brain tumors, usually present in the first decade of life, are composed of undifferentiated or poorly differentiated neuroepithelial cells and have aggressive behavior and rapid evolution. Material and Methods: We describe the case of a 3-month-old infant with initial diagnosis of bacterial meningitis, managed with antibiotic therapy with absence of evolution of the clinical status, imnunohistochemical imaging and tests are performed that yield the diagnosis of a PNET located in the frontal-temporal right region with rapid clinical progression towards death. Conclusion: The rapid evolution and aggressiveness with which these tumors behave represents a high level of mortality, their diagnosis and rapid treatment are vital for a favorable evolution of the condition.
