Objective: Meningioma is the most common type of primary central nervous system and intracranial tumor, and psychiatric changes attributed to meningioma include depression, apathy, psychosis, and personality changes. We present a case of a 59-year-old man with right parietal meningioma who developed mania with psychotic features throughout multiple hospitalizations.
Method: Single-case report.
Results: The patient originally presented with headache and bilateral lower extremity weakness. He was found to have a large medial sphenoidal wing meningioma and a small right parietal meningioma. The sphenoidal wing meningioma was removed via craniotomy, but the right parietal meningioma was not resected. In the following years, the patient developed symptoms of mania and psychosis which coincided with an increase in size of the right parietal meningioma.
Conclusions: Previous studies have linked right parietal meningioma to psychosis, but this case is one of the first to suggest that right parietal meningioma may be associated with the development of mania along with psychotic features.

Background: Primary intracranial Ewing Sarcoma/peripheral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (EWS/pPNET) is exceedingly rare and easy to misdiagnose.
Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 23-year-old male who presented with headaches and vomiting. The preoperative brain imaging revealed an irregular mass in the left parietal lobe, initially misdiagnosed as meningioma.

We present the case of a 60-year-old male with recurrent atypical meningioma in the right parietal lobe, previously treated with surgery and radiation therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed 5 years after radiation therapy suggested a possible recurrence. A somatostatin receptor positron emission tomography/computed tomography (SR-PET/CT) scan with Gallium-68 DOTATATE was performed to confirm this suspicion.

Article Synopsis
- JB, a 28-year-old male, presented to the hospital in 2009 with a progressively increasing mass on his head that had been deforming it since 2005 and experienced his first seizure around the same time.
- After neurological examination and imaging confirmed the presence of a large tumor in the parietal region, he underwent surgery which included craniotomy and tumor resection.
- Despite initially regaining some movement after surgery, he unfortunately passed away in the second postoperative week due to a pulmonary embolism, prompting a review of the case to address the complications and suggest better management strategies.
