Background: To our knowledge, there have been only two reported cases of patients with osteolytic skull lesions secondary to head trauma without concomitant skull fracture.
Methods: We present a case of skull bone lysis, not associated with skull fracture in a 20-year-old male, after mild head injury. During surgery, tumorous skull tissue of benign appearance was excised and primary cranioplasty was performed.
Results: The pathological examination showed an inflammatory reactive process within the bone lesion. Three years after surgery the patient was asymptomatic and studies did not show any new bone changes.
Conclusions: The authors draw attention to this exceptionally rare condition, pointing out the necessity of surgical biopsy, contrary to some opinions.

Department of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, Centre for Neurosurgery, Medical Faculty, University of Cologne, 50933 Cologne, Germany.
: Vestibular symptoms can severely affect patients with vestibular schwannomas (VSs). Studies assessing vestibular symptoms beyond clinical routine assessment in patients with VS treated by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are scarce. Therefore, we employed the standardized questionnaire Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) to systematically evaluate vestibular symptoms prior to and after SRS.
