The case we presented suggests that we should consider pineal region metastasis as part of our differential whenever we encounter patients with an isolated pineal lesion. Endoscopic third ventriculostomy can be a better treatment option to treat obstructive hydrocephalus caused by the lesion potentially avoiding peritoneal dissemination.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_698_2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,30]],"date-time":"2022-09-30T09:45:50Z","timestamp":1664531150000},"page":"453","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A rare case of metastatic colon cancer to the pineal region: A case report"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Sarah","family":"Kawtharani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charbel","family":"Moussalem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamad","family":"El Houshiemy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elias","family":"Horanieh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Balamand, El-Koura, Lebanon."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marwan","family":"Najjar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_698_2022\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1303","DOI":"10.1212\/01.wnl.0000238516.29603.33","article-title":"Metastases to the pineal gland","volume":"67","author":"Lassman","year":"2006","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_698_2022\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"696","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radcr.2021.11.047","article-title":"A rare case of colon cancer metastasis to the brain anda brief review of its treatment and prognosis","volume":"17","author":"Majd","year":"2022","journal-title":"Radiol Case Rep"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_698_2022\/ref-3","first-page":"5645","article-title":"Patients with brain metastases from colorectal cancer are not condemned","volume":"33","author":"Mege","year":"2013","journal-title":"Anticancer Res"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_698_2022\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100","DOI":"10.3816\/CCC.2009.n.016","article-title":"Brain metastases from colorectal cancer: Risk factors, incidence, and the possible role of chemokines","volume":"8","author":"Mongan","year":"2009","journal-title":"Clin Colorectal Cancer"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_698_2022\/ref-5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"71","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-7-71","article-title":"Isolated pineal region metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma with obstructive hydrocephalus: A case report","volume":"7","author":"Nemoto","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Med Case Rep"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_698_2022\/ref-6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"omab030","DOI":"10.1093\/omcr\/omab030","article-title":"Synchronous pituitary and pineal gland lesions presenting with panhypopituitarism in a patient with widespread colorectal cancer: A case report","volume":"2021","author":"Struja","year":"2021","journal-title":"Oxf Med Case Rep"}],"container-title":["Surgical Neurology International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/a-rare-case-of-metastatic-colon-cancer-to-the-pineal-region-a-case-report\/","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/surgicalint-articles\/a-rare-case-of-metastatic-colon-cancer-to-the-pineal-region-a-case-report\/","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,30]],"date-time":"2022-09-30T09:45:56Z","timestamp":1664531156000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/surgicalint-articles\/a-rare-case-of-metastatic-colon-cancer-to-the-pineal-region-a-case-report\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,30]]},"references-count":6,"alternative-id":["10.25259\/SNI_698_2022"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/sni_698_2022","relation":{},"ISSN":["2152-7806"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2152-7806","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,30]]},"article-number":"453"}}
