A case report of an intra-optic recurrent craniopharyngioma.

A 46-year old female patient presented with a left-sided superior temporal quadrantanopia due to a recurrent craniopharyngioma. The location of the recurrence was unusual. Imaging showed an enlarged left optic nerve, suggestive of a recurrent intra-optic craniopharyngioma.

A novel drainage approach in patients with cholesterol granuloma: From petrous apex to mastoid air cell.

Background: Cholesterol granulomas (CG) of the petrous apex (CGPA) are benign lesions that have high recurrence rates after surgical intervention. We describe the use of a robust silicon drain between the petrous apex and mastoid air cells to allow constant aeration of the lesion for preventing recurrence.

Case Description: A retrospective analysis was performed using the data of four patients treated at the Maastricht University Medical Centre between 2014 and 2016.

An unusual case of repeated intracranial hemorrhage in vestibular schwannoma.

Background: Symptomatic intratumoral hemorrhage (ITH) in vestibular schwannoma (VS) is rare. A repeated hemorrhage is, therefore, even more exceptional. Repeated ITH has been reported in four cases thus far in English literature.
