The pineal term refers, in general, all things are in the form of an apple.
The pineal gland, obsolete term, is also called epiphysis.
The pineal gland becomes calcified (this deposit of calcium carbonate) during childhood, which does not prevent it from functioning normally. This process makes visible calcifications on radiographs from the age of 20 years.
Syndrome pineal (pineal syndrome in English), also called epiphysis syndrome, is a set of symptoms due to the presence of tumor (cancerous or noncancerous) of the pineal gland (also called pineal body).Patients complain of (partial list):
Headache (headache)
Intracranial hypertension (exaggerated blood inside the skull)
Psychic disturbances
Ocular
Paralysis of the pairs of cranial nerves
Parinaud's syndrome
Syndrome Argyll-Robertson
Dysfunction of the reproductive system (macrogénitosomie)
Subsequently are likely to occur for malfunctions of the cerebellum (cerebellar symptoms) and infundibulo-tubériens (disturbance of the functioning of the hypothalamus and its region).
Apart from the calcifications also describes:
The cyst of the pineal
Medulloblastoma of the pineal gland, which is a malignant tumor
The pinéalocytome also called pinéocytome
The pinealomas: benign tumor of the pineal gland. For some specialists in neurology, all tumors of the pineal gland are pinealomas. Thus, pinéalocytomes and pineoblastoma or Pineoblastoma, are pinealomas. For others, the only pinealomas are benign tumors of the pineal gland: this is called the pinéalocytomes. The pinealomas occurs mainly in boys with precocious puberty. The fabric forming the brain, most often, not invaded by tumor cells. But in return, it may compress other brain structures such as the aqueduct of Sylvius resulting in the development of hypertension within the skull (intracranial hypertension). This type of tumor can also cause obstruction of the passage between the brain ventricles (cavities containing cerebrospinal fluid within the brain) and more precisely between the third and fourth cerebral ventricle. This phenomenon is known as Parinaud syndrome. It includes a vertical gaze palsy, an abolition of the pupillary reflexes (closing and opening of the pupils when they are subjected to light or dark). When he examined eye of the eye, there is the presence of nystagmus (jerky eye movements due to fast and the eyeball). Some patients on the other hand ataxia (uncoordinated movements) and paralysis that neurologists call paralysis pyramid.
The term apinéalisme (English apinealism), also known as Marburg's syndrome (described in 1909), is the lack of secretion of the pineal gland. In the past, this syndrome (set of symptoms) was related to the macrogénitosomie secondary to a tumor of the pineal gland.
The term refers hypopinéalisme inadequate functioning of the pineal gland.
