    Fibrillary astrocytomas also called low grade or diffuse astrocytoma s, are a group of primary tumor primary slow growing brain tumor s. They typically occur in adults between the ages of twenty and fifty. cn date September 2011 Pathology Fibrillary astrocytomas arise from neoplasm neoplastic astrocyte s, a type of glial cell found in the central nervous system. They may occur anywhere in the brain, or even in the spinal cord ref name lga http emedicine.medscape.com article 1156429 overview ref , but are most commonly found in the cerebral hemispheres. As the alternative name of diffuse astrocytoma implies, the outline of the tumour is not clearly visible in scans, because the borders of the neoplasm tend to send out tiny microscopic fibrillary tentacles that spread into the surrounding brain tissue. These tentacles intermingle with healthy brain cells, making complete surgical removal difficult. However, they low grade tumors, with a slow rate of growth, so that patients commonly survive longer than those with otherwise similar types of brain tumour, such as glioblastoma multiforme . ref name lga Symptoms and diagnosis Seizure s, frequent mood changes, and headaches are among the earliest symptoms of the tumor. Hemiparesis , or physical weakness on one side of the body, is also common. ref name lga A continuous Electroencephalography EEG recording of the brain s electrical activity may help to identify and localize seizure activity, especially in children. X ray computed tomography CT scan s and Magnetic resonance imaging MRI scan s of the brain may show the presence of a diffuse mass that fails to light up when a contrast dye is given. cn date September 2011 In some cases, a biopsy may be required to confirm the nature of the tumour. Treatment Treatment options include surgery , radiotherapy , radiosurgery , and chemotherapy .
