A 52-year-old woman presented with right rhinorrhea and right otorrhea manifesting as aural fullness for 2 years caused by a choroid plexus papilloma in the right cerebellomedullary cistern. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well defined lobulated mass at the foramen of Luschka, which extended towards the right cerebellomedullary cistern with slight dilation of the v...

SUMMARY A case of cerebellopontine angle and prepontine cistern subependymoma in a 15-year-old adolescent boy is presented with a review of the literature. Apparent diffusion coefficient values for subependymoma are reported. Differential considerations for the unusual location of this rare tumor are discussed.

Abstract Objective Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic disease of central nervous system. No stablished treatment exists for management subarachnoid NCC. We aim to present a minimally invasive procedure with basis on anterior Sylvian point (ASP) cistern Materials and methods Three patients histologically confirmed NCC followed targeted burr hole surgery reference ASP. prepared...

We present a patient with isolated intracranial mucormycosis that remained indolent for several months. The mucormycosis formed a mass in the prepontine cistern, probably spreading from the sphenoid sinus. We propose that at least some cases of what is considered isolated CNS mucormycosis develop from such unrecognized indolent infections. Mucormycosis may present as a mass in the basilar ciste...

This study aims at investigating three-dimensional subject-specific cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in the inferior cranial space, the superior spinal subarachnoid space (SAS), and the fourth cerebral ventricle using a combination of a finite-volume computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) experiments. An anatomically accurate 3D model of the entire SA...

Structures of arachnoid in posterior cranial fossa have been examined during prenatal period. 100 foetuses were examined within IV up to VII month with CRL from 130 mm to 220 mm. Cuts were performed with especially constructed device what enabled ideal cross-section without disturbing of structures of arachnoid of dura mater. Image acquisition was done with the help of digital camera. The very ...
