Another thing for pilocytic astrocytoma - they have both solid and cystic parts. So if the MRI of a child shows a tumor consisting of white (solid) and dark (cystic) parts, think pilocytic astrocytoma.

[@NoorFatima-sc3zk]

doesn't craniopharyngioma also have that?

[@lazymedic5988]

@@NoorFatima-sc3zk yes ...its just that cysts will be different...pilocytic astricytoma will have cyst with mural nodule where as craniopharyngioma will have a calcified cyst...infact there are only few tumors in brain which r calcified like craniopharygioma ,oligodendroglioma and meningioma..plus location of tumors will also be different ..mostly brain tumors in children are infratentorial and they specially have prediliction for cerebellum..so u can also distinguish it on the basis of that..pilocytic astrocytoma lies in cerebellum while as craniopharyngioma is located suprasellar..n symptoms plus histology of craniopharygioma n pilocytic astricytoma are also different

Another way to remember Rosenthal fibers w/ pilocytic Astrocytoma is by thinking of astROSEcytoma

[@EIonsMusk]

Seriously.... give this man a medal.

[@GreenApple555]

For oligodendroglioma, i remember it as eggs have "calcified" shells

[@darnallhall1943]

Big ups on the Drew Rosenhaus mnemonic - never expected to hear his name during dedicated lol. Really appreciate the work you do, man.

[@Superfly156]

Reviewed a card and had to come and comment on the video..I love your style of teaching. It helps close the gap of comprehension by months! All of medical should be taught this way. "Here is something really difficult, but know these things, here is a goofy/interesting/unique way to remember it, and in the future, you'll at least have a framework from which to build your knowledge on this difficult subject....and go!"

[@sarahmina1442]

My mnemonics for childhood brain tumors. (I have no idea about American footbal). ASTRO (star) cytoma => give your favorite star some Rose Fibers 💐 (bouquet) B LAST => your Home Right is what Lasts (matters the most). Ependy Moma => Give your Mom a pseudo rose 🥀 (You gave the star a bouquet 😉). I like your dirty mnemonic. Cranio Pharymgioma- my friend Radke (German name) has a big mouth & crane: he eats Calcium icecream and Cholesterol (motor oil like junk food). Pinealoma - Parrainer (meand support in French) the pines for early blooming. (Preserve the pine trees for precocious puberty 🌲).

[@abundanceoffavor1353]

Wow thanks doc. I've been running into a lot of practice questions with tumors. This really helps.

To add to Dirty's Ependymoma story mnemonic to help me with the name. "Momma's pending gift is pseudo roses" (to make up for being a crap kid)...as always thank you so much for the dedicated review Dirty!

[@serenitykitten1726]

I actually decided to watch this because I have had two brain surgeries for a glioneuronal tumor from my childhood. I like to know a bit about that stuff.

[@ShaunCharkowick]

thank you once again dirty for cutting straight to the high yield

[@journeyaftergraduation8195]

how do you do that , just an amazing way to teach !! you should hold workshops for teaching !!

[@tinashealthbeautyworld8396]

I keep watching and rewatching this!! thanks dirty

[@Mantris100]

For Medulloblastoma, you can always remember it as Med-BLUE-oblastoma, because the Homer-Wright rosettes are, at the end of the day, another small cell cancer. Also, for small blue cell cancers of the brain: Kids - Medulloblastoma; Adults - Metastatic Small Cell Carcinoma of the Lung

[@howiegwok3703]

Also remember the "Homer Wright" as "home right", because the tumor is so malignant that there is nothing doctors can do except for sending patients right to home without hesitation. (not the truth though)

[@jennaguma5039]

[@liyichen9317]

On my neurosurgery internship, i saw a m pt w/ pituitary containging both GH and PRL, his cc is: doc, why my forehead is becoming bigger for months and my wife complains about my function? Very impressive case lol

[@racheljohnson93]

For oligodendrogliomas, I could never remember the chicken wire and egg thing actually looked like because I just couldn't see it. Now, I always think of it like a pomegranate cross section, and my egg breakfast can just have pomegranate on the side. No clue if that helps anyone else visualize the histology better, but it did for me!

[@emmin4586]

I remember ODG tumor as non-veg. tumor haha

Another good way to remember Astrocytoma is that there is a baseball journalist called Ken Rosenthal

[@kristeenallaysaco1074]

I fear that they'd ask these "not worth the brain space" type of questions.

[@jorgelara7178]

Amazing video. Great mnemonics. For Craniopharyngioma what i came up with was "remnants or WRATH" and i imagine a story like thats a gang or a motorcylcist group whose logo is a cranium. Keep studying

Only thing is that many women with pituitary prolactinomas also have very decreased libido, esp those with macro adenomas with multiple signs of acromegagaly as well.

Pilocytic astrocytoma @pile(pilocytic) of rose(rosenthal) ,some are solid(solid) and some rotten(cystic)

[@davidmitchell3881]

Oligos and meningomas both calcify. This is useful. Meningiomas enhance avidly while oligos are less likely to. Meningiomas may occur within the ventricles.

[@LOOP931]

Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@markthespark25]

For Craniopharyngioma a mnemonic is CranioPITUgioma - reminds me of pituitary gland

[@uzmasafiajamiljam4351]

another one for pilocytic astrocytoma for all the "A Court of Thorn and Roses (ACOTAR) fans out there. 'ASTRO-TAR' with roses representing 'Rose-nthal fibers'. And I remember 'pilocytic' means hair-like projections by thinking about the ACOTAR sisters with their long hair.
