Abstract
A girl of 12 with a pontine polymorphous astrocytoma diffusely metastasizing to the spinal cord leptomeninges suddenly died 20 hours after the insertion of a right ventriculo–atrial shunt. Many severely damaged glial neoplastic cells were found in the blood vessels of the lung and liver.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
