Dorsal Intradural Extramedullary Bronchogenic Cysts: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review.
Cureus
December 2024
Neurological Surgery, High Specialty Regional Hospital Bajio, León, MEX.
Intradural extramedullary bronchogenic cysts (IEBCs) are exceedingly rare congenital entities, composed of respiratory epithelial cells derived from the anomalous development of the embryonic foregut. Due to their exceptionally low morbidity, only limited cases are available. Consequently, the clinical features and optimal therapeutic approach remain poorly understood.

Department of Neurosurgery, Neurosurgery Clinic, Birgunj, Nepal.
Article Synopsis
- Spinal hydatid disease is a rare condition, occurring in only 0.2-1% of cases, mainly in regions where it is common, and should be considered in spinal cord compression diagnoses.
- The case involved a 52-year-old man with symptoms like lower extremity pain, trouble urinating, and back issues, who was treated with antiparasitic therapy and underwent two surgeries with no bacteria found post-treatment.
- Early detection and proper treatment are essential due to the rarity of the disease, emphasizing its importance in differential diagnosis for spinal issues.
Rare histiocytic neoplasm: A case report.
Surg Neurol Int
November 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Histiocytic neoplasms are rare blood-related disorders due to an excess of histiocytes in various body tissues, accounting for less than 1% of soft tissue and lymph node cancers; Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is one of the notable forms.
- A 76-year-old male experienced progressive weakness in his legs and sensory loss, leading to the discovery of an intradural intramedullary nodule at the T5 level, confirmed through MRI.
- The patient underwent surgery to remove the lesion, which was diagnosed as isolated intramedullary thoracic LCH, resolving his condition.
Solitary intradural plasmacytomas are extremely rare. We present a case of a patient with headache and diagnosis of meningiomatosis. Onset symptoms were abrupt neurological deterioration and paraparesis.

Objective: Petroclival tumors such as petroclival meningiomas or trigeminal schwannomas extending to the posterior cranial fossa are challenging to treat due to their deep-seated location and proximity to critical neurovascular structures. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of endoscopic transorbital surgery for the resection of central skull base tumors involving the petroclival area.
Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 32 patients with petroclival tumors including meningiomas and trigeminal schwannomas who underwent endoscopic transorbital surgery between September 2017 and December 2022.
