Case presentation: Three-year-old male admitted with aphasia and mental confusion that last 48 hours. Report a fever peak of 38°C. Vomiting hyaline rhinorrhea resolved four days ago. Plus diarrheal symptoms three weeks prior to hospitalization. He did not recognize his mother other family members, he was frightened by environmental stimuli, could walk, fell if placed standing sit without suppor...

BACKGROUND Sphenoorbital meningiomas are surgically challenging because of their nature to extend to adjacent structures. Here, we describe a case of recurrent sphenoorbital meningioma extending into the sphenoid sinus, pterygopalatine fossa, and infratemporal fossa, which was resected using combined simultaneous transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approaches. CASE DESCRIPTION A 62-year-old...

OBJECT Spontaneous meningoencephaloceles of the lateral sphenoid sinus are rare lesions that are hypothesized to result from persistence of the lateral craniopharyngeal canal. Prior reports of the management of this lesion have been limited by its relative rarity. The objective of this paper is to report the theoretical etiology, surgical technique, and outcomes in patients undergoing endoscopi...

Two cases of nontraumatic cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea were presumed to be an indirect manifesta tion of brain tumor. One patient had a parietal convexity meningioma and the other a cerebello pontine angle neurinoma. Following excision of the tumors these patients spontaneously developed cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, which disappeared after the repair of fistulas at the base of the frontal ...

Because of its vulnerable location, the frontal sinus may be involved in several types of maxillofacial trauma. This involvement may cause fractures of the anterior and/or posterior walls of the sinus,1 lodgment of foreign bodies in the sinus,2 and anterior cranial fossa dural tears, which may result in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea, meningitis, aerocele, and other intracranial complicat...

Delayed posttraumatic cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea (CSFr) without meningitis is considered to be relatively rare. However, even years after trauma, recurrence or delayed onset of CSFr and meningitis due to CSFr are possible. In this article, a case of delayed CSFr from the sphenoid sinus without meningitis three years after the transfacial gunshot wound is reported. Plain high-resolution comp...
