This case is related to a 52-year-old lady with proptosis, diplopia and diminution of vision due to a mass lesion in upper medial quadrant of the orbit. CT scan revealed a well defined mass in basi-frontal area with intra-orbital and intracranial extension. On exploring it was found to be mucopyocele of the frontal sinus. Surgical excision was done by external approach. The symptoms and signs r...

Background. The problem of concomitant pituitary adenomas and intracranial aneurysms is extensively covered in literature. According to various authors, the prevalence such a combination lesions as high 9 %, most commonly involving hormone‑producing anterior circulation, up 69 % which originate from carotid artery. Aim. To analyze demonstrate treatment patients with developed internal artery an...

Synovial sarcomas (SS) account for 7-8% of soft-tissue cancers and 3-5% of all cases with head and neck involvement. Synovial sarcoma of the infratemporal fossa is very rare In this article, we report the fourth case of SS of infratemporal fossa and the first case with intracranial extension via the foramen ovale. A 31-year-old man admitted with a one-year history of intense pain in his right j...

Spinal subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) can extend into the intracranial subarachnoid space, but, severe cerebral vasospasm is rare complication of the extension of intracranial SAH from a spinal subarachnoid hematoma. A 67-year-old woman started anticoagulant therapy for unstable angina. The next day, she developed severe back pain and paraplegia. MRI showed intradural and extramedullar low sign...

The case is presented of a 20-year-old female who was incidentally diagnosed with isolated sarcoidosis in the form of a nasal mass involving the ethmoid sinuses with destruction of the cribriform plate and intracranial extension. The patient complained of cacosmia and nasal obstruction. Histopathologic examination of biopsies from the nasal mass led to a diagnosis of non-caseating granuloma, hi...

A 355 g male fetus was aborted at gestation age of 17 weeks and 6 days by a 31 years old healthy woman with her first gravidity at Haidian Maternal and Children Health Hospital. An ultrasound scan showed no anomaly at 12th gestational weeks (GWs). Down syndrome screening test showed a high risk of open neural tube defects at 16th GW. Three‐dimensional ultrasound scan indicated an irregular anec...

These congenital midline nasal masses are the result of a failure of normal neural crest cell embryology. The ectodermal anterior neuropore (primitive frontonasal region) forms medial to the optic recess of the sphenoid sinus in the third week of gestation, and the frontal, nasal, and ethmoid structures form in the area immediately proximal to the anterior neuropore.3 Through the eighth week of...

A newborn had an extracerebral, intracranial mass extending from the right middle cranial fossa through the base of the skull to the parapharyngeal space. The mass was predominantly composed of immature brain tissue. It was enclosed by its own leptomeninges and dura and was classified as a glioneural hamartoma.

A 41-year-old man presented with exophthalmos and loss of visual acuity. Neuroradiological studies showed a large mass extending from the intraorbital region to the frontal lobe. In addition, it also involved the middle cranial and infratemporal fossae with accompanying skull destruction. The tumor was almost totally removed. The histological diagnosis was sebaceous carcinoma with pagetoid chan...

A 53-year-old man, previously healthy, presented with a slowprogressive enlarging mass in the midfrontal area which had developed 14 years previously without headache. On physical examination, this nodular reddish mass (11 x 7 x 5 cm) was fluctuant to pressure and tethered to the underlying frontal bone (A). There was no neurological deficit and no superficial lymph nodes. Cranial computed tomo...
