A 52-year-old man presented with transient monocular blindness that was both spontaneous and exacerbated by exertion. Dynamic orbital CT revealed a delay in the perfusion of the left optic nerve head suggestive of a steal phenomenon. Subsequent selective arteriography demonstrated an arteriovenous fistula between the falx artery originating from the ophthalmic artery and the superior sagittal v...

Thrombosis of the straight and transverse sinuses associated with a large hemorrhagic venous infarct developed in an infant with large chronic subdural fluid collections after drainage of the subdurals. CT and MR studies obtained before and after the onset of venous sinus thrombosis showed interval widening of a segment of the posterior falx between the vein of Galen and the superior sagittal s...

A 15-year-old girl was referred to a dentist complaining of parageusia, bad taste in the mouth, which started 9 months ago. Panoramic X-ray and non-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed multiple bilateral unilocular cysts in the mandible and maxilla, along with calcification of anterior part of the falx cerebri. She was eventually diagnosed with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome based on imaging and h...

We present two cases of orbital meningioma which were totally excised by a neurosurgical and craniomaxillofacial team using skull base approaches.

Abstract Background The intracranial chondroma is a sporadic type of benign tumor with an incidence less than 0.5% all tumors. Furthermore, this has been reported more frequently at the skull base, falx cerebri, and exceptionally dura, when it happened to be intracranial. Case presentation We report challenging diagnosis successful management rare case dural in 19-year-old student without past ...

Introduction. Minimally invasive techniques in brain tumor surgery are the priority tasks for preserving function of structures central nervous system adjacent to tumors. The approaches through natural arachnoid spaces avoiding additional trauma intact with dissection falx, can be an alternative conventional direct interhemispheric fissure Results. This paper presents results surgical treatment...
