Falco-tentorial meningioma producing irreversible midbrain damage
Meningiomas arising from the falcotentorial junction are the rarest subgroup of tentorial menigiomas. Because of the distance from the brain surface and the surrounding deep cerebral veins these lesions are difficult and dangerous to treat surgically. A 45-year-old female presented with the history of progressive headache, disorientation, unsteadiness, and urinary incontinence for over 6 months...
متن کاملHemangioblastoma located in the posterior incisural space mimicking a tentorial meningioma: a case report

A 72-year-old male presented with a primary hemangioblastoma of the posterior fossa with unusual dural attachment and meningeal arterial blood supply from the external carotid artery and marginal tentorial artery. Preoperative embolization facilitated complete resection of the tumor with no resultant neurological deficit. Hemangioblastoma must be included in the differential diagnosis of tumors...
