Papillary meningioma with prominent flow voids.

Unlabelled: This report presents an extremely rare case of papillary meningioma with prominent flow voids and increased perfusion parameters on MRI in a 28-year-old male presenting with headache. This knowledge helped the neurosurgeon to minimise intra-operative blood loss and achieve a favourable post-surgical outcome.

Contribution: A rare case of papillary meningioma and its differentiating features from typical meningiomas have been discussed considering its implications for management as well as prognostication to reduce morbidity and mortality.

A Giant Nondural-Based Lumbosacral Clear Cell Meningioma Mimicking Schwannoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Spinal clear cell meningiomas (CCMs) are rare and dural-based lesion usually affecting the younger population. We report the rare case of giant nondural-based spinal CCM mimicking schwannoma and review the literature. A literature search was performed at PubMed and Embase until January 1, 2020.

Hemorrhage in long segment cervical schwannoma; case report and literature review.

Background: Although hemorrhages associated with cervical and thoracic intraspinal schwannomas are typically localized to the subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) or subdural hemorrhages (SDH) compartments, rare intratumoral bleeds may also occur.

Methods: In the literature, we found and analyzed multiple factors for 13 cases (e.g.

Infected congenital lumbosacral dermal sinus tract with conus epidermoid abscess: a rare entity.

Purpose: Dermal sinus is more commonly associated with intradural dermoid than an epidermoid cyst. Conus epidermoid cyst with dermal sinus is a rare entity. We are presenting a rare case of infected conus epidermoid cyst along with the dermal sinus in an 18-month-old girl presented with flaccid paraparesis with sphincter dysfunction and timely intervention leads to complete recovery.

Rapidly growing diffuse neurofibroma of the scalp with calvarial defect in a young woman: A rare entity.

Background: A diffuse neurofibroma, a variant of neurofibroma, most commonly occurs in young adults and involves the head and neck. In the absence of neurofibromatosis, associated calvarial defect with these swellings is rarely seen.

Case Description: An 18-year-old woman presented with a history of rapidly progressive painless large swelling over the bilateral parieto-occipital region of scalp.

Atypical presentation of extraspinal neurofibroma presenting with acute-onset monoparesis and Horner's syndrome: Case report and review of literature.

The clinical presentation of spinal or extraspinal neurofibroma is radiculopathy or myelopathy, pain, and motor weakness. Extraspinal neurofibroma presenting with acute-onset monoparesis and Horner's syndrome is very rare. We report the case of a 55-year-old female who presented with acute-onset monoparesis of the left upper limb along with left-side drooping of the eyelid.

Retrobulbar Lymphangioma: A Rare Case Report.

We report a case of biopsy-proven retrobulbar lymphangioma in a 14-year-old girl. She presented with chief complaints of swelling in the left eye for 2 months. The patient underwent imaging evaluation and it was diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma, radiologically.

Can the position of the vertebral artery be predicted on a lateral view X-ray of the craniovertebral junction? A radiological anatomy study.

Background: The most feared complication while inserting C2 screws is vertebral artery injury. This article proposes predicting the position of the vertebral artery on a true lateral X-ray of the axis vertebra from the background information acquired from the computed tomography (CT) scan utilizing fluoroscopy.

Methods: Spiral CT scans of 33 C2 vertebrae were performed utilizing a 16-slice CT scanner lateral X-rays of C2 were then obtained before and after painting the vertebral artery grooves with barium.

Fulminant acanthamoebic meningoencephalitis in immunocompetent patients: an uncommon entity.

We are reporting two patients of fatal and rapidly progressive amoebic encephalitis in immunocompetent host from poor socioeconomic status. Both these patient had acute neurological worsening preoperatively and did not respond to subsequent surgical decompression. Biopsy report confirmed acanthamoebic cerebral infection.

Use of intraoperative X-ray to differentiate between reducible versus irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation.

Background: The treatment and classification of atlantoaxial dislocations (AADs) remain controversial. Here, we utilized intraoperative X-ray to differentiate between reducible and irreducible AADs.

Methods: Five patients were diagnosed as having irreducible AAD on dynamic and post-traction X-rays.

Unusual cause of high cervical myelopathy-C1 arch stenosis.

Introduction: High cervical myelopathy can be rarely caused by the developmental anomalies of atlas. Patients with C1 arch stenosis can present in early childhood or later in life. In symptomatic patients, posterior decompression at atlas is mandatory.

Cerebellopontine Angle Schwannoma and Meningioma in Contiguity: Surgical Implications in Neurofibromatosis.

Concurrent occurrence of brain tumors in the same location is very unusual and has been noted in patients with neurofibromatosis. Two lesions, occurring in close contact but of different histology, are called contiguous tumors. Schwannoma and meningioma are the two common histologies reported to present as contiguous tumor.
