Papillary meningioma: a rare but distinct variant of malignant meningioma

BACKGROUND Papillary meningiomas are rare meningeal tumors and are associated with aggressive clinical behavior as compared with other meningiomas. Because of their rare occurrence, they may pose a diagnostic dilemma to the unwary pathologist. We report a case of papillary meningioma in a 16-year-old boy. CASE PRESENTATION A 16-year-old boy presented with complaints of headache, progressively...

Analysis of three surgical treatments for spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of 3 surgical procedures for Spontaneous Supratentorial Intracerebral Hemorrhage (SICH).A total of 63 patients with SICH were randomized into 3 groups. Group A (n = 21) underwent craniotomy surgery, group B (n = 22) underwent burr hole, urokinase infusion and catheter drainage, and group C (n = 20) underwent neuroendoscopic...

Intracerebral schwannoma--a rare cause of epilepsy.

INTRODUCTION We report a case of schwannoma occurring in an intra-axial location causing seizures. CLINICAL PICTURE A 13-year-old girl presented with a 4-month history of seizures. Preoperative computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an enhancing right frontal lobe tumour with surrounding oedema. TREATMENT The patient underwent craniotomy and a well-circumscribed tu...

Endoscopic hematoma evacuation in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND Surgical evacuation of spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is controversial because the traditional surgical approach sometimes causes further brain injury. The introduction of the neuroendoscope has brought with it the new idea of minimal invasiveness, which may improve the surgical results of ICH. METHODS Twenty-one patients with spontaneous supratentorial I...
