OBJECTIVE T-stage is an imperfect prognostic indicator for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. We evaluated the effect of extent of intracranial involvement on survival after conventional radiotherapy in patients with Stage T4 nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of the results of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and treatment outcomes in ...

Intracranial mucormycosis is an uncommon fungal infection showing a predilection for diabetics and immunologically compromised patients [13]. In the common rhinocerebral form, cerebral involvement is secondary to direct extension from nasal-sinus disease [2-4]. Isolated cerebral mucormycosis (ICM), occurring by hematogenous seeding , has been reported only rarely [3, 5-1 0] . We report the seco...

A rare case of an intracranial haemangiopericytoma with extra-cranial extension in a 60-year-old female patients’ is presented. Intracranial haemangiopericytomas are uncommon, dural-based tumors. It is classified as a tumor of uncertain origin in the WHO system.Haemangiopericytomas arise from Pericytes of Zimmerman that surround capillaries and not archetypical meningothelial arachnoid cap cell...

Jugular foramen neurilemmoma is frequently manifested as a jugular foramen syndrome or extraaxial mass. Neurilemmoma arising from the cranial nerves of the foramen, although rare, may be manifestated as an intracranial or extracranial mass lesion. When the tumor is located only in the intracranium, it is often misdiagnosed as an acoustic neurinoma or a brainstem tumor because of their similarit...

A 56-year-old man presented with a meningioma associated with hyperostotic bone containing little tumor cell infiltration. The patient presented with a growing mass on his right forehead and exophthalmos. Computed tomography (CT) taken 4 years previously revealed only hyperostosis without intracranial lesion. Repeat CT revealed an enhanced intracranial mass with overlying diffuse hyperostosis e...
