The clinical presentation and pathological characteristics of 18 histologically verified meningiomas in the paediatric age group are reviewed. There was a 1:1 sex ratio. Two children presented with seizures. The majority were supratentorial in location and large in size. In 4 patients, the meningiomas showed sarcomatous changes, while in 6 patients they were cystic.

The problem at hand is the significant global health challenge posed by children's diseases, where timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and management. Conventional diagnosis techniques are typical, use tedious processes and generate inaccurate results since they are executed by human beings and cause delays in treatment that can be fatal. Considering these and other shortcomings there exists a need to have more efficient and accurate solutions based on artificial intelligence.

Purpose: It is not known whether temporal changes in childhood cancer therapy have reduced risk of subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMNs) of the central nervous system (CNS), a frequently fatal late effect of cancer therapy.
Methods: Five-year survivors of primary childhood cancers diagnosed between 1970-1999 in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study with a subsequent CNS SMN were identified. Cumulative incidence rates and standardized incidence ratios (SIR) were compared among survivors diagnosed between 1970-1979 (N = 6223), 1980-1989 (N = 9680), and 1990-1999 (N = 8999).

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a gene that encodes a key part of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, important for gene expression regulation, linked to Coffin-Siris syndrome type 3 (CSS3).
- A family with two adult patients having a new missense mutation (c.1091A>C, p.Lys364Thr) was studied, revealing issues with verbal learning and language delays.
- One patient developed meningioma, and findings suggest the mutation may improperly activate the MAPK signaling pathway, highlighting a connection between genetic mutations, neurodevelopmental disorders, and tumor formation.
Neglected Case of Cervical Meningocele in an Adult.

Neural tube defects (NTD), caused by a disturbance in the neurulation process, are easily diagnosed and treated in the early years of life. Although early repair of NTD is advocated, there is lacking information on its natural course. There are only 11 cases, including this one, reported in literature of a cervical meningocele diagnosed and treated in an adult.

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF-2) is a dominantly inherited genetic disorder that results from variants in the tumor suppressor gene, neurofibromin 2 (NF2). Here, we report the generation of a conditional zebrafish model of neurofibromatosis established by inducible genetic knockout of nf2a/b, the zebrafish homologs of human NF2. Analysis of nf2a and nf2b expression revealed ubiquitous expression of nf2b in the early embryo, with overlapping expression in the neural crest and its derivatives and in the cranial mesenchyme.
