Intraventricular meningiomas are uncommon intracranial tumors and infrequently present with hemorrhage. With only 10 reported cases in the literature, it is exceedingly rare for meningiomas of the ventricular system to present with hemorrhage. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient presenting with an acute intraventricular hemorrhage in relation to a ventricular meningioma suspected to be radiation induced. In addition, we review the current literature on hemorrhagic intraventricular meningiomas and review the natural history of radiation-induced meningiomas.

[Short-lasting tentorial herniation may cause cortical blindness. A case report and systematic literature review].
Zh Vopr Neirokhir Im N N Burdenko

Burdenko Neurosurgical Center, Moscow, Russia.
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.
Effectiveness and safety of Tachosil® as a ventricular sealant: an observational cohort study.

Purpose: Surgery close to or in contact with the ventricular system is challenging due to the complications. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TachoSil® as a ventricular sealant in preventing complications after cranial surgery with an open ventricular system (OVS).
Methods: This is a single-center and prospective cohort study We included patients who underwent elective surgery for supratentorial craniotomy and periventricular pathology between December 2020 and November 2023.

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.

An 11-year-old spayed female Maltese dog presented with a 2-month history of gait alterations, wide-based stance, and chronic vomiting. Neurological examination revealed cerebellovestibular signs, including head tilt, nystagmus, strabismus, intentional tremor, and hypermetric gait. MRI showed a mass with iso- to hypointensity on T1-weighted (T1W) images and heterogeneous hyperintensity on T2-weighted (T2W) images, with marked non-uniform contrast enhancement.
