Giant, lamellated colloid cyst: 'Russian-Doll' appearance.

Colloid cysts (CCs) are usually small, benign lesions located at the foramen of Monro. They usually grow to a size of 1-3 cms. We have described here a giant colloid cyst of size 6 x 5.

Malignant bihemispheric cerebral edema after cranioplasty - An extension of the Monro-Kellie doctrine and predictive factors.

Background: Several changes in normal pressure dynamics on the brain occur with a decompressive craniectomy and subsequent cranioplasty. Dead space volume is an important factor contributing to intracranial volume postcranioplasty. A decrease in this volume due to negative suction drain along with relative negative pressure on the brain with the loss of external atmospheric pressure may lead to fatal cerebral edema.

Orbitofrontal Extradural Hematoma: Unusual Cause of Proptosis.

Introduction: Frontal extradural hematoma (EDH) extending into orbit is an uncommon entity. Clinical presentation can be subacutely progressive proptosis following head injury.

Case Presentation: We present a case of frontal EDH with orbital extension which had delayed progressive proptosis.

Management Options for Suprasellar Cystic Craniopharyngioma: Endoscopic Transventricular Approach and Microsurgical Approach.

 The treatment of cystic craniopharyngioma in children is varied. The treatment ranges from radical excision to direct radiotherapy. As the morbidity of excision is high, more conservative approaches are used.

Predictors of Quality of Life at 3 Months after Treatment for Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Background: Patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) have a low quality of life (QOL) despite diagnostic and therapeutic advancements. Less than half of the survivors can return to their previous jobs and have difficulty in being a functional part of society. Our study aimed to understand the overall outcome and QOL of these patients and to identify the predictive factors determining the same.

Unusual Complication of a Neglected Growing Skull Fracture.

Introduction: The growing skull fracture (GSF) is a rare complication seen after head injury in infants and young children. It occurs due to a wide skull defect with underlying dural defect and changes in pressure gradients within skull cavity. Neglected cases may develop progressive neurological deficits and complications after second head trauma.

Intracranial Dural-based Convexity Chondroma.

Intracranial chondromas arising from the convexity with dural attachments are extremely rare tumors with scarce reports in the literature. They have atypical radiological findings that can often preclude the preoperative diagnosis. Complete resection is treatment with a good prognosis.
