Meningiomas are benign tumors origin from central nervous system. They usually involve cephalic, paravertebral soft tissues, skin and in rare cases in the ear, temporal bone, mandible, foot, lung, and mediastinum. In this case, we report an unusual case of meningioma which placed in the fourth ventricle. A 14-year-old man with seizure and headache referred to our ward. The magnetic resonance imaging reported bilateral acoustic neuroma and fourth ventricle meningioma. The patient was scheduled for total tumor resection and the histopathology revealed psammomatous type of meningioma. The patient discharged with good general status.

Background: The co-occurrence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is linked to a more unfavorable prognosis and increased mortality compared to PF cases without PH. Early intervention and comprehensive management are pivotal for improving survival outcomes. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a protein essential in cholesterol metabolism.

The occurrence of isolated bilateral hippocampus infarct is extremely rare and is thought to be associated with a number of etiologies, including ischemia, infection, paraneoplastic syndromes, seizures, drug addiction, etc. The presented manuscript depicts a case of a 28-year-old male patient who has been a chronic alcoholic for the past 4 years and, on imaging, was found to have a bilateral hippocampal infarct in isolation. Also, the manuscript presents the appearance of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of Bochdalek's flower basket, which is an anatomical variant of the choroid plexus in the fourth ventricle.

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) motion and pulsatility has been proposed to play a crucial role in clearing brain waste. Although its driving forces remain debated, increasing evidence suggests that large amplitude vasomotion drives such CSF fluctuations. Recently, a fast blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) fMRI sequence was used to measure the coupling between CSF fluctuations and low-frequency hemodynamic oscillations in the human cortex.

Background And Objective: Microsurgical resection of tumor is an important treatment for children with fourth ventricular tumors. There is a lack of data describing risk factors for postoperative extubation failure (EF) in these children. We aimed to identify risk factors for EF in children with fourth ventricular tumors and to determine the association between EF and clinical outcomes.

Sulfite oxidase deficiencies, either caused by deficiency of the apoenzyme or the molybdenum cofactor, and ethylmalonic encephalopathy are inherited disorders that impact sulfur metabolism. These patients present with severe neurodeterioration accompanied by cerebral cortex and cerebellum abnormalities, and high thiosulfate levels in plasma and tissues, including the brain. We aimed to clarify the mechanisms of such abnormalities, so we assessed the ex vivo effects of thiosulfate administration on energetic status and oxidative stress markers in cortical and cerebellar tissues of newborn rats.
