A 72-year-old woman previously operated for a sphenoid-ridge meningioma, now presented with double vision. Histology showed a secretory meningioma with an epithelial-appearing, malignant component. Malignant transformation in a secretory meningioma is not known. This is the first report of such an occurrence.

Delayed Progression of Ataxia with a Static Cerebellar Lesion- Consider SCA27B.

Cerebellum

January 2025

Repeat expansions in the fibroblast growth factor 14 gene (FGF14), associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 27B (SCA27B), have emerged as a prevalent cause of previously unexplained late-onset cerebellar ataxia. Here, we present a patient with residual symptom of gait ataxia after complicated meningioma surgery, who presented with progressive symptoms of oculomotor disturbances, speech difficulties, vertigo and worsening of gait imbalance, twelve years post-resection. Neuroimaging revealed a surgical resection cavity in the dorsolateral side of the left cerebellar hemisphere, accompanied by gliosis in left cerebellar hemisphere extending into the vermis, extensive non-specific supratentorial periventricular white matter abnormalities, and mild atrophy of the cerebellar vermis.
