Intractable epilepsy and olfactory bulb hamartoma. A case report.

The objective of this case report is to demonstrate that a benign tumour arising solely from the olfactory bulb can act as a primary epileptic focus and to illustrate the difficulty in making a preoperative diagnosis of pathological lesions in this area. The case of a 29-year-old male with intractable epilepsy is presented. Radiological imaging demonstrated a conspicuous, calcified lesion in the mesial inferior frontal lobe.

Metastatic choroid plexus papilloma: a case report.

Choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs) are generally regarded as benign tumours, with a favourable long-term prognosis. Complete resection should result in cure. We present a case of diffuse craniospinal seeding from an apparently completely resected fourth ventricular primary tumour.
