Intraventricular meningioma with drop metastases and subgaleal metastatic nodule.
We report a case of malignant intraventricular meningioma with CSF drop metastases and an implantation metastatic subgaleal nodule in a 53-year-old woman. Malignant intraventricular meningiomas are rare with only seven cases being reported in the literature. These tumours can be very aggressive and one should consider immediate postoperative radiotherapy.
متن کاملParaplegia due to drop metastases from anaplastic oligodendroglioma.
In this article, we report on a rare case of spinal seeding from a cerebral anaplastic oligodendroglioma presenting with signs of medullar compression. We discuss the prevalence, mechanisms and imaging findings of spinal seeding in various gliomas. A suitable clinical treatment and follow up for these patients is suggested.

متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of pineal tumors and drop metastases: a review approach
Pineal region tumors represent less than 1% and 3-8% of brain tumors in adults and children respectively. There is a wide range of pineal masses, with the majority being germ cell and pineal parenchymal tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for the assessment of pineal masses. It is considered as the gold standard for the evaluation of the central nervous system. MR...
متن کاملDiffuse Ependymal Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumor Causing Spinal Drop Metastases: A Case Report
Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNETs) arise mostly in the supratentorial cerebral cortex. A very rare case of intraventricular DNET with diffuse ependymal involvement, which causes spinal drop metastasis, is presented.
