Human hydatid disease is caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Central nervous system (CNS) echinococcosis is rare with less than 4% of cases of hydatid disease have CNS involvement. intracranial extradural hydatid cysts are rare and less than 11 case have been reported in literature. primary intracranial extradural multiple hydatid cysts are not reported as per our knowledge so we report probably the first case.

Traumatic aneurysms represent less than 1 percent of intracranial aneurysms and middle meningeal artery pseudoaneurysms are even rare. Traumatic aneurysms are usually pseudoaneurysms formed by the rupture of all the layers of the vessel wall. They are associated with high mortality as they can present as epidural, subdural, and rarely intraparenchymal hematoma.

Objective: The objective of this study was to discuss the characteristics of intracranial extension in patients with juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) and propose and an algorithm for its management.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients with JNA who underwent operations between January 2013 and January 2023 was done, and those cases with intracranial extension categorized as stage IIIb, IVa, and IVb according to the Andrews modification of the Fisch staging classification were included in the study. Data were collected about age at presentation, symptoms, radiological findings, routes of intracranial extension, therapeutic management, and follow-up.

Cranioplasty to restore calvarial defects involves reconstruction with alloplastic materials or autologous tissues in order to provide the best protection to all intracranial contents. Sometimes, autologous bone may not be available; therefore, different materials have emerged such as polymethylmethacrylate plate, titanium mesh, and hydroxyapatite. However, when it is impossible to replace the autologous bone, the aesthetic result is generally unsatisfactory.

Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a rare condition often misdiagnosed, particularly in patients with connective tissue disorders like Marfan Syndrome, which can lead to structural weaknesses in the spinal dural membrane and increased risk of CSF leaks.
- A 52-year-old woman with genetically confirmed Marfan Syndrome presented with severe headaches and diplopia; imaging revealed complications such as dural ectasia and subdural hematoma, which were effectively managed with bed rest and corticosteroids.
- A review of 25 studies on SIH treatment in patients with Marfan Syndrome indicated high success rates for symptoms improvement, particularly with epidural blood patches and conservative treatments.
