Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular anomalies that can present with significant complications, including intracranial hemorrhage. This report presents the case of a 36-year-old female with Prothrombin G20210A mutation-associated thrombophilia, highlighting its potential impact on AVM pathophysiology and management. The patient presented with a right paramedian intraparenchymal frontal hematoma, left hemiparesis, and seizures.

Background: Dural hemangiomas are a relatively rare form of intracranial mass, as hemangiomas tend to present in bone or as intraparenchymal lesions and only around 5%-13% have been reported to originate from the dura mater. Here, the authors present the case of a 46-year-old female who underwent craniotomy for a suspected convexity meningioma resection, which was unexpectedly found to be a dural capillary hemangioma.

Observations: The patient was a 46-year-old female who presented with a left frontal intracranial mass found incidentally and showed significant growth over 4 years.

Background: Pediatric intracranial aneurysms account for 5% of all aneurysms and less than 10% of all aneurysms cause non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage in children. They are most commonly secondary to trauma, infection, or genetic etiologies; however, case reports have described iatrogenic intracranial aneurysms. We describe a case of a ruptured aneurysm with an associated intracranial hematoma that was treated by surgical clipping and clot evacuation.

Article Synopsis
  • - A 31-year-old woman experienced sudden weakness on her right side, leading to the discovery of a subarachnoid hemorrhage and a bleeding in the frontal area of her brain.
  • - Imaging tests showed a blockage in the left middle cerebral artery and a saccular aneurysm, which were confirmed through a cerebral angiogram.
  • - After surgery to remove the aneurysm, doctors found a partially blocked pseudoaneurysm, and further tests revealed she had infective endocarditis caused by a mitral valve infection.

Article Synopsis
  • Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare histiocytosis often presenting with systemic symptoms, but this case highlights its unusual progression to the brain after skull base involvement.
  • The presented case involves a 57-year-old male with severe headaches and a tumor mass affecting several areas, culminating in surgical intervention that revealed RDD.
  • The study emphasizes the need for timely surgical treatment to prevent local and systemic disease progression, despite RDD typically being regarded as benign.
