Surgical management of a thoracic chordoma: A case report and literature review.

Background: Chordomas are rare benign, but locally aggressive tumors that are regularly encountered in the clivus and sacrum. Although they are rarely found in the thoracic spine, they can contribute not only to local bone destruction and spinal instability, lead to cord compression, and major neurological deficits.

Case Description: A 56 year-old-male originally underwent a T12 laminectomy with debulking for a thoracic chordoma.

Persistence of a trigeminal artery associated with a posterior meningeal artery aneurysm: case report and literature review.

A 59-year-old female presented with severe headache and trouble of consciousness. The CT showed a subarachnoid hemorrhage FISHER IV with a hematoma of the right cerebellum. The angiography discovered a persistent left trigeminal artery associated with an aneurysm of the right posterior meningeal artery.

Unusual coexistence of an epidermoid cyst with an atypical meningioma: Case report and review of the literature.

Background: Coexistence of multiple primary intracranial tumors of different cell types has rarely been documented; the association of a meningioma and a glioma has been reported as the most common combination. Hereby, we report an unusual case of a temporal epidermoid cyst coexisting with an atypical meningioma.

Case Presentation: A 37-year-old male presented with progressive symptoms of raised intracranial progression with progressive loss of vision without any neurological deficit.

Pineal epidermoid cyst: case report and review of the literature.

Intracranial epidermoid cysts are one of the rare tumors of all intracranial tumors. They represent 0,2 to 1% of intracranial tumors and 7% of tumors in the cerebellopontine angle. The pineal region is exceptionally subject to such kind of tumor.
