Self-Trephination in Cranial Excoriation Disorder.

Background And Importance: Trephination is a procedure in which a small hole is made in the skull. Rare cases of self-trephination by individuals seeking medical benefit have been reported. Excoriation disorder is a compulsive skin-picking condition in which an individual self-inflicts cutaneous lesions.

Diffusely invasive supratentorial rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor: illustrative case.

Background: Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumors (RGNTs) are rare tumors composed of mixed glial and neurocytic components. Most lesions are confined to the posterior fossa, especially in the region of the fourth ventricle, in young adults. In few instances, diffuse involvement of the supratentorial region is identified, thereby creating significant challenges in diagnosis, surgical intervention, and prognostication.
