1) Out of 160 primary meningeal tumors surgically treated, 10 cases had histologically malignant tumors. Of them two cases of sarcoma and one case of meningioma with marked invasiveness were filed in malignant (sarcoma) group, and six cases of angioblastic meningioma of hemangiopericytoma type and one case of meningioma with partial invasiveness in semi malignant group. 2) Average duration of s...

BACKGROUND Administration of onabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT-A) to peripheral tissues outside the calvaria reduces the number of days chronic migraine patients experience headache. Because the headache phase of a migraine attack, especially those preceded by aura, is thought to involve activation of meningeal nociceptors by endogenous stimuli such as changes in intracranial pressure (i.e. mechanical) ...

Meningeal tuberculosis is rare in the developed world, with only 92 cases of meningeal TB reported in the United States in 2014 according to the CDC (CDC, 2015). We describe the case of a 39-year-old male with a history of alcohol abuse, whose cerebral spinal fluid acid fast smears confirmed TB only weeks after his death. His only initial presenting symptom was headache, and his condition decli...

In this report, the patient was pre-diagnosed as meningioma before surgery, which turned out to be meningeal melanocytoma. Hence, we will discuss the interpretation of imaging and neurological statuses that may help avoid this problem. A 45-year-old man had increasing pain around the neck 14 months prior to admission. His cervical spine MR imaging revealed a space-occupying, contrast-enhancing ...

A 26-year-old man with multiple intracranial masses widely attached to the dura presented with hypopituitarism and sexual impotence. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the lesions were isointense on the T1-weighted and hypointense on the T2-weighted images, and involved the bilateral sphenoid ridges, the convexity, and tentorial incisura. The lesion was partially removed via the right pterional ...

Primary meningeal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare primary brain malignancy, with scant case reports. While most reports of primary intracranial rhabdomyosarcoma occur in pediatric patients, a handful of cases in adult patients have been reported in the medical literature. We report the case of a 44-year-old male who developed primary meningeal rhabdomyosarcoma. After developing episodes of right low...
