Almost all meningiomas presenting with intracranial hemorrhage in the literature were admitted with symptoms relating to the hemorrhage and there were no prehemorrhage scans which demonstrated the actual size and apperance of the meningioma. This is a very rare report of a case with a tentorial meningioma documented with pre- and posthemorrhage scans.

[Short-lasting tentorial herniation may cause cortical blindness. A case report and systematic literature review].

Article Synopsis
- Cortical blindness results from damage to the visual cortex, often due to strokes affecting the posterior cerebral arteries, which can occur during tentorial herniation.
- A case study of a 40-year-old patient with a large right-sided sphenoidal meningioma showed postoperative complications, including headaches, coma, and eventual detection of cortical blindness lasting 1.5 years despite the absence of other neurological symptoms.
- The case underscores the importance of recognizing risks associated with neurosurgery, as timely interventions may still lead to complications like irreversible ischemia, highlighting the need for patient awareness.
Embolization of posterior fossa meningiomas supplied with meningohypophyseal trunk by using BCA and dual balloon protection.

From the Department of Neurosurgery, Fukuoka Seisyukai Hospital, Fukuoka, Japan (J.T.); Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Fukuoka university, Fukuoka, Japan (K.T., T.K., D.K., S.Y., H.T., K.Y., T.E., H.K., T.M., H.A.); Department of Emergency and Critical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Fukuoka university, Fukuoka, Japan (H.F., Y.H., M.I.).
Background And Purpose: Efficacy of tumor embolization for posterior fossa meningioma is controversial due to the lack of adequate embolization for dangerous feeders. Of these, a meningohypophyseal trunk (MHT) has high therapeutic value despite the high risks associated with embolization.
Materials And Methods: To analyze the utility of preoperative MHT embolization for posterior fossa meningiomas using BCA with dual balloon protection, a single center retrospective record review was performed on eight consecutive patients who underwent preoperative tumor embolization via the MHT for posterior fossa meningiomas between 2020 and 2024.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted a systematic review of 27 studies involving 545 patients, identifying five main combined approaches: Anterior petrosal, Supra-tentorial, Infratemporal fossa, Retrosigmoid, and Far-lateral suboccipital.
- * The study found that these approaches, especially the Anterior petrosal, are effective in treating conditions like meningiomas while showing strong surgical outcomes and low complication rates.

Almost any primary or metastatic brain tumour can manifest in intraventricular (IV) locations. These tumours may either originate within the ventricular system or extend into the IV space through growth. Such neoplasms represent a broad spectrum, with supratentorial IV tumours forming a heterogeneous group.

Introduction: Meningiomas located in the posterior fossa and involving the sinodural angle at the junction of the transverse and sigmoid sinuses are uncommon and present unique challenges due to their complex anatomical location. Despite their distinctive features, they are frequently categorized with tentorial meningiomas in the literature.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study conducted at a tertiary care center involved 64 patients with sinodural meningiomas who underwent surgical treatment between 2010 and 2023.
