Objective: Surgery for peri-rolandic epilepsy requires appropriate consideration to balance the functional risk of postoperative motor deficit and seizure outcome. Based on voxel-based morphometric analysis, the authors hypothesized that cortical damage and ischemic subcortical damage related to surgery could affect postoperative motor deterioration.
Methods: Sixteen patients with peri-rolandic epilepsy who underwent resective surgery at a single institution were retrospectively investigated.
Background: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is linked to the formation of intracranial aneurysms. The authors recently observed an effective use of magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (MR-VWI) to detect de novo unruptured MMD-associated microaneurysms.
Observations: The authors describe a 57-year-old female who was diagnosed with MMD 6 years ago after suffering a left putaminal hemorrhage.
Background: A paradoxical reaction (PR) is a phenomenon in which the primary tuberculous lesion worsens or another tuberculous lesion appears while on anti-tuberculosis therapy. Here, we report a rare case of cerebellar tuberculoma caused by a PR during therapy for lumbar tuberculous spondylitis (Pott's disease).
Case Description: A 47-year-old male with human immunodeficiency virus seronegative was diagnosed with lumber tuberculous spondylitis (Pott's disease) and prescribed anti-tuberculous agents.
Background: There are few case reports of primary leiomyosarcoma originating from the dura mater. We herein report a case of primary dural leiomyosarcoma that presented with repeated intracranial hemorrhage.
Case Description: A 62-year-old man presented with a 4-year history of a temporo-occipital bump.
