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.

Nonsaccular aneurysms: A wide comparison between the four main types.

Background: The present study aims to present the most important considerations when it comes to patients features, clinical presentation, localization, morphology, pathogenesis, and the best treatment for each type of the nonsaccular aneurysms.

Methods: We performed a literature review using PubMed. The search was limited to the studies published in English, from 2010 to 2017.

Microsurgical Management of Trigeminal Schwannoma: Cohort Analysis and Systematic Review.

 Trigeminal schwannomas are benign tumors with a predilection for women between 40 and 60 years of age and account for less than 0.5% of all intracranial tumors. Clinical presentation depends on size and location, and typical symptoms are ipsilateral hypesthesia, headache, and facial pain.

Fusiform aneurysms: A review from its pathogenesis to treatment options.

Background: This study aims to present the most important considerations when it comes to patients features, clinical presentation, localization, and morphology of the aneurysm and the treatments outcomes of the fusiform aneurysms.

Methods: We performed a literature review using PubMed. The search was limited to the studies published in English, from 2003 to 2017.

Giant mucopyocele associated with intracranial hypertension: Case report and literature review.

Background: Mucoceles are epithelial lined sacs that contain mucous. Eventually, they can be infected and so called mucopyoceles, which are usually slow growing lesions with common bone destruction located in the facial sinus. Mucoceles show multivariate etiology and occur between the fourth and seventh decade of life.

McCune-Albright syndrome with craniofacial dysplasia: Clinical review and surgical management.

Background: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion related to an abnormal bone development and replacement by fibrous tissue. FD has three clinical patterns namely monostotic, polyostotic, and the McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). MAS is a rare genetic disorder (about 3% of all FD's) that comprises a triad of polyostotic FD, café-au-lait skin macules, and precocious puberty.
