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...
متن کاملRadiation-induced cavernomas of the brain.
The purpose of this report is to add support to the growing literature that there is a correlation between radiation and cavernomas of the brain, particularly if the radiation is received in childhood, as well as to increase awareness of this correlation in the radiology community. Retrospective review of our experience returned five patients who received radiation therapy while they were child...
متن کاملMultiple intracranial cavernomas with focal amyloid deposition – diagnostic pitfalls
We report a case of a patient with multiple, intracranial superficial calcified tumorous lesions with focal amyloid deposition. On the basis of the first neuronavigated needle biopsy, the tumors were originally assessed as amyloidomas. Additional data was obtained from a second biopsy and supplementary neuroimaging information and the tumors were diagnosed as of vascular origin, probably cavern...
متن کاملIntracranial Cavernomas and Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
Microsurgical resection, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and conservative management are three methods of treatment for intracranial cavernomas. However if left untreated, cavernomas may lead to intracerebral hemorrhage, seizures, focal neurologic deficits, or headaches. Deciding how to manage a cavernoma patient depends on a multitude factors. While microsurgery is the standard treatment for ...
متن کاملRecurrent intracranial meningioma with multiple pulmonary metastases: A case report
Meningiomas are slow-growing tumors, which are generally considered to be benign and rarely metastasize. Although cases of extracranial metastatic meningioma have previously been reported, multiple pulmonary metastases from a benign intracranial meningioma is particularly rare. In the present report, a case of recurrent transitional meningioma with multiple lung nodules, which were demonstrated...
