Intracranial Meningioma-induced Parkinsonism
An intracranial tumor is a rare cause of secondary parkinsonism. Our patient presented to our clinic for recently-developed asymmetric parkinsonism without pyramidal signs. However, a meningioma located in the sphenoidal ridge was identified upon imaging studies. This case suggests that additional causes should be considered when approaching patients with parkinsonism and that imaging studies c...

BACKGROUND Midbrain atrophy is a well-known feature of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Some clinical features of vascular parkinsonism (VP) such as pseudobulbar phenomena, lower body predominance and early postural instability suggest that the brainstem could be associated with VP. The aim of this study was to determine whether midbrain atrophy was present in patients with VP. METHODS W...
متن کاملFalco-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...
