Focal seizures are usually manifest with stereotyped positive phenomena. However, seizures may also give negative phenomena, such as paralysis, speech arrest, neglect, atonia and numbness. We report a 39-year-old man with neurofibromatosis 2 who had recurrent stereotyped episodes of weakness affecting his right leg and right arm. His MR scan of brain showed numerous meningiomas, the largest of ...

Background: Phase images contains information regarding local susceptibility changes between the tissues, which can help measure iron and other content field. Typically, this is ignored before looking at console. Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) a magnetic resonance (MR) technique detects an early hemorrhagic transformation within infarct to provide insight into cerebral hemodynamics follo...

BACKGROUND Angiomatous meningioma is a rare histological subtype of meningioma. Therefore, this specific medical condition is rarely reviewed in the literature. In the present work, we report the clinical and radiological features with postoperative outcomes of angiomatous meningioma. METHODS This retrospective study included the patients who were pathologically diagnosed with angiomatous men...

The increased density in the basal cisterns and the subarachnoid space on CT scans is a well-known characteristic of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Have been described diverse conditions that can emulate subarachnoid hemorrhage, such as purulent leptomeningitis, intrathecal contrast material and leak of high doses of intravenous contrast material to the subarachnoid space. We present the case of a ma...

We present a case of cystic falx meningioma. Cystic meningioma is rare and not easy to diagnose preoperatively; it is often misdiagnosed as other tumors, including glial or metastatic tumors with cystic or necrotic changes. This study showed the potential impact of 320-row computed tomography (CT) on image-based diagnostic evaluation of cystic meningioma with special attention to the novel tech...

A 36-year-old female offi ce clerk was admitted with a 6-week history of headache, abnormal behaviour (poor work performance, deteriorating table manners, and lack of social inhibition and frequent repetition of words or phrases) as well as unsteady gait. She also had episodes of urinary incontinence. On examination, she was found to be confused and disoriented. She had positive primitive refl ...

AIMS A very good knowledge of human embryology is mandatory not only for the correct sonographic assessment of the developing brain, but also for better understanding the origins of congenital anomalies involving the central nervous system. 3D transvaginal sonography may be an effective technique for imaging the developing brain. The aims of this explorative study are to demonstrate the feasibi...

Chordoid meningioma (CM) is a rare subtype of meningioma, which represents only 0.5% of all meningiomas. It is classified as Grade II according to the World Health Organization classification because of its tendency to relapse. Pathological and clinical characteristics have been studied in order to forecast the future evolution of the lesions. However, information about infiltration of macropha...
