Ruptured intracranial dermoid cyst.
I ntracranial dermoid cystic tumors account for <1% of all intracranial masses. Dermoids are nonneoplastic, congenital ectodermal inclusion cysts that contain varying amounts of ectoderm derivatives to include apocrine, sweat, and sebaceous cysts as well as hair follicles, squamous epithelium, and possibly teeth. Th ey are not to be confused with an epidermoid cyst, which contains only squamous...
متن کاملRuptured intracranial dermoid cyst.
Intradural dermoids are rare congenital tumors representing approximately 0.05% of all intracranial lesions. These benign tumors have a typical appearance on CT and MR due to their lipid components. The complication caused by rupture are the spillage of the fatty material into the cerebrospinal fluid. We report a case of a ruptured dermoid cyst showing fat/fluid levels in both side ventricles a...
متن کاملThrombosis – Besieged but Poorly Understood
In biology, thrombosis is a mechanism of maintaining the integrity of biological surfaces in higher mammals, limiting fluid loss, and facilitating the recognition, containment, and destruction of pathogens and foreign materials by a scaffold of fibrin and DNA strands. However, thrombosis may also lead to vascular occlusion and subsequent tissue damage. In medicine, thrombosis is a hallmark of l...

deficits. There was no history of head injury or surgery. Plain radiographs of skull showed irregular calcifications in the left temporal region (Figure 1). Computed tomography (CT) of brain revealed a heterogeneous extra axial lesion in the anterior aspect of left temporal fossa and left middle cerebral artery cistern, showing calcification, soft tissue and fat density. Multiple tiny fat dropl...
متن کاملNiche sharing reflects a poorly understood biodiversity phenomenon
Eucalyptus spp. are susceptible to a large number of foliar pathogens, some of which can cause serious defoliation and die-back. In this study, a single leaf spot on a Eucalyptus leaf collected in Madagascar revealed an unusual association of microfungi with disease symptoms. Initial observations indicated that the leaf spot was associated with Mycosphaerella marksii, a common pathogen of eucal...
