Giant dumbbell C2C3 neurofibroma invading prebulbar cistern: Case report and literature review.

Background: Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, most typically involving café-au-lait spots and skin neurofibromas. Only 2% of patients with NF1 have symptomatic spinal tumors.

Case Description: A patient with a previous diagnosis of NF1 presented with cervicalgia, dysphagia/mild dysphonia, gait alteration, and progressive hypoesthesia involving all four limbs.

Giant pseudoaneurysm originated from distal middle cerebral artery dissection treated by trapping under sensitive evoked potential and motor evoked potential monitoring: Case report and discussion.

Background: Dissecting giant pseudoaneurysm of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is a rare lesion often presenting challenges to neurosurgical teams dealing with this specific pathology. Giant pseudoaneurysm originating from a dissecting distal segment of the MCA treated with aneurysm trapping under motor and sensitive evoked potential monitoring with a successful outcome is presented in the article followed by a brief discussion on the subject.

Case Description: A case of a previously healthy young female patient admitted at the emergency room of Santa Paula Hospital with a history of a sudden headache and syncope, dysphasia, and Grade 4 right hemiparesis due to a large brain hemorrhage secondary to a 25 mm ruptured pseudoaneurysm originated from a distal left MCA dissecting segment is described.
