Background: Rare arterial abnormalities known as intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms (IOOAAs) present considerable difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. To effectively manage these uncommon illnesses, sophisticated diagnostic methods and meticulous treatment planning are needed. The purpose of this study is to thoroughly examine the clinical manifestations, diagnostic techniques, therapeutic modalities, and results of IOOAAs.

SS damage due to diseases or surgical lesions often results in significant functional losses, mainly involving serious language, visual processing, and cognitive deficits. These risks are maximized in older adults because of age-related WM degeneration.

This review evaluates the effectiveness of treatment strategies, focusing on post-treatment recovery and recurrence. A systematic review was conducted using PubMed and Scopus with no date restrictions.

- CNS TB can often be mistaken for other conditions like meningiomas, particularly when affecting the anterior skull base.
- A case study of a 39-year-old man showed how initial imaging indicated a meningioma, but a biopsy confirmed it was a tuberculoma leading to effective treatment.
- This highlights the importance of including tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of brain lesions, especially in areas where TB is common, to enhance patient outcomes.
Background: Meningiomas are one of the most common primary intracranial neoplasms that may present with a wide variety of clinical symptoms, depending on multiple factors such as tumor size, location, and grade. Knowledge of the grade of meningioma correlated with their related symptoms is of great value in developing diagnostic and therapeutic approaches efficiently. Although various knowledge about meningiomas exists, there still seems to be a lacuna as far as explicit relations between tumoral characteristics and the severity or evolution of symptoms are concerned.

Though more common in adults, the same criteria for diagnostic and management dilemmas apply to pediatric cases. We present the case of a nine-year-old boy presenting with acute-onset severe headache and significant visual deterioration suggestive of pituitary apoplexy.

In the study, 59 patients who underwent surgical intervention between 2009 and 2022 and were diagnosed with colloid cysts via computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging participated.
Methods: There were more male cases than female ones (57.
