Background: The polymalformative syndromes and craniofacial anomalies association is a well-known phenomenon in patients with Crouzon, Pfeiffer, Apert, or Muenke disease. Recently, other less frequent pathologies, such as Alagille syndrome, have shown an association with alterations in the development of cranial sutures, resulting in serious cosmetic defects and neurologic disorders.
Case Description: We report an exceptional case of a 30-month-old girl, a nephroblastoma survivor diagnosed with Alagille syndrome, who was referred to our department with progressive anterior plagiocephaly and premature left coronal suture closure associated with a large compensating right bossing.
Background: Parasagittal meningiomas arise from the arachnoid cells of the angle formed between the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) and the brain convexity. In this retrospective study, we focused on factors that predict early recurrence and recurrence times.
Methods: We reviewed 125 patients with parasagittal meningiomas operated from 1985 to 2014.
