Definition

An extremely rare glial neoplasm occurring in the region of the anterior third ventricle or hypothalamus, which is non-infiltrative and well-circumscribed and presents most frequently in middle-aged women with symptoms of memory loss and headaches and, because of its location, has a poor prognosis due to surgical morbidity. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
