Background: Intracranial solitary fibrous tumor was rare. However, most intracranial solitary fibrous tumors are benign, cerebral solitary fibrous tumor with malignant transformation was even more unusual. Case present: Herein, we presented a 55 year-old-male who was diagnosed intracranial solitary fibrous tumor five years ago. Partial tumor excision was performed via the pterional craniotomy. ...

Intracranial neurenteric cysts are relatively rare and almost exclusively benign. Here we present a case of an intracranial neurenteric cyst that was histologically benign in the first surgery and later demonstrated significant growth and intracranial metastasis with malignant transformation. A 47-year-old woman presented with a headache, which had gradually worsened over 1 year. Initial magnet...

of oculomotor and trochlear nerve involvement have also been reported.' With intracranial hypertension, changes in seventh nerve function are exceptional. Peripheral facial nerve palsy was observed in five individuals suffering from benign intracranial hypertension.78 In one additional patient facial myokymia has been observed, thus showing that, with intracranial hypertension, facial nerve inv...

angiofibromas are the most common benign tumors of the nasopharynx, intracranial extension has been reported in approximately 20-25% of cases. intracranial extension may be difficult to treat because of poor exposure that may lead to recurrence. a 16-year-old male patient presented with a 6-month history of nasal obstruction, intermittent epistaxis, right superior orbital fissure syndrome, and ...

Abstract Intracranial chondromas are benign, slow-growing, cartilaginous tumors, which comprise only about 0.2% of all intracranial tumors. The majority of these lesions occur at the base of the skull, where they are thought to arise from residual embryonic chondrogenic cells along the basal synchondrosis. Very rarely, they may also originate from the convexity dura, falx cerebri, or the brain ...

A 39-year-old woman experienced severe headache, epilepsy and rapidly progressive aphasia and hemianopia. Carotid angiograms displayed segmentary narrowing of intracranial arteries as previously described in benign cerebral vasculitis. Her superficial temporal artery was also involved, allowing a biopsy of the abnormal part of the vessel. Microscopical study of this artery was normal. A second ...

Epidermoid cysts are rare congenital tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), histologically benign and slowgrowing lesions. Their frequency among primitive intracranial tumors is about 1% and they account for 40% of all intracranial epidermoid of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA); there they constitute the third most frequent neoplasm (5%), after acoustic neuromas and meningiomas. We report ...

Multiple hydatid cysts of the brain are uncommon and may be either primary or secondary. A 15-year-old boy with a huge mass of intracranial hydatid cysts (95x85x80 mm) is presented. The first manifestation was headache and vomiting, which was followed by symptoms of raised intracranial pressure. The patient underwent an urgent operation due to rapidly deteriorating neurological status, and 19 h...

Objective. Meningiomas are benign primary meningeal tumors and are seen rare in children and adolescents. Clinical Presentation and Intervention. A 15-year-old Turkish boy reported a 1-month history of headache and blurred vision in both eyes. His visual acuity was 0.3 in both eyes with papilledema.
