The surgical management and outcomes for spheno-orbital meningiomas: a 7-year review of multi-disciplinary practice.

Aims/purpose: Spheno-orbital meningiomas account for 9% of all adult intracranial meningiomas. Complete resection is extremely difficult with this condition. We report on our experience in the surgical management of spheno-orbital meningiomas.

Thorotrast-induced primary cerebral angiosarcoma: case report.

Objective: Thorotrast was used as a contrast medium in clinical practice until the 1960s for outlining cerebral abscess cavities and ventricular cavities, and for angiography. Gliosarcomas, meningiomas, and schwannomas have been reported previously, as has Thorotrast-associated angiosarcoma, typically in the liver. A unique case of a primary intracerebral well-differentiated angiosarcoma in a 68-year-old man with a history of colocalized exposure to Thorotrast is described.
