The topographical distribution of dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) was analyzed based on the embryological anatomy of the dural membrane. Sixty-six consecutive cases of intracranial and spinal DAVFs were analyzed based on the angiography, and each shunt point was identified according to the embryological bony structures. The area of dural membranes was categorized into three different group...

A65-year-old man was admitted because of the progressive onset of left faciobrachiocrural paresis. Twenty years previously, he underwent a right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma; initial diagnosis was made by CT scan, because of the onset of hematuria; after nephrectomy, no adjuvant therapy was made. Brain MRI showed an extra-axial lesion of the falx, suspicious for meningioma (figure 1). T...

To achieve craniofacial symmetry is one of the important goals of orthodontic and orthognathic treatment planning. With the increasing popularity of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in recent years, it is frequently considered for three-dimensional evaluation of craniofacial asymmetry. Currently, there are no published reviews reporting craniofacial modularization to explain the aggravated ...

BACKGROUND A dural arteriovenous fistula in the falx cerebri is a relatively rare lesion, with only two cases reported till date. One was treated with direct surgery, and the other was followed-up conservatively. Advances in catheter design and embolic materials have made safe and curative transarterial embolization of dural arteriovenous fistulas possible in the current era. CASE DESCRIPTION...

Sixteen operative cases of parasagittal and falx meningioma were analyzed retrospectively. Parasagittal meningioma totaled 12 cases and falx meningioma numbered 4 cases. Preoperative symptoms were paresis of a lower extremity in 7 cases and disturbed consciousness or mentality in 6 cases. Paresis and/or consciousness deteriorated just after the operation in 11 cases. the deterioration was ident...

Two cases of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome were reported with a review of pertinent literature. The first case was a 59-year-old man, whose autopsy was warranted. Signs and symptoms manifested in this case were basal cell carcinoma, generalized multiple nevi, multiple cysts in the jaws and long bones, pits in the palm and sole, frontal and occipital bossing, ossification of the falx cere...

Background: The involvement of falx cerebri in tuberculosis is extremely rare, with only three cases reported so far in the literature. The diagnosis is most often difficult to establish, given the location of the lesion, making surgical intervention necessary for a definite histopathologic diagnosis. Methods: We present the case of a 49-year old female patient who was admitted for a right jack...
