Rule Out

In a recent article, Tefft1 has stated that radioactive brain scans must be used to evaluate each child with a convulsive disorder, including those with a normal neurological examination and a normal or nonspecific electroencephalogram. He states that this should be done to rule out the presence of a low grade intracranial neoplasm or arteriovenous malformation. We would like to present three objections to this blanket policy. First, the yield would be extremely low. Follow up of children with epilepsy detected gliomas in 23 of 10,450 children (0.3%) in the study by Page, et al.2 and in 3 of 1,518 (0.2%) studied by Livingston.3

✓ The authors present a rare case of a giant intracranial mucocele associated with an orbitoethmoidal osteoma in a patient suffering from a generalized convulsive disorder. The broad pedicle of the osteoma had penetrated the cribriform plate and extended intracranially to form a nodular mass in the olfactory groove. The intracranial portion of the osteoma was surrounded by a mucocele. Both the cyst wall and multilayered intracystic septations of the mucocele were indented by layers of the osteoma. Although the extracranial portion adhered to the mucosa of the ethmoidal sinus, there were no signs of sinus obstruction. No direct communication other than the osteoma was identified between the mucocele and the ethmoidal mucosa. The large cerebral defect, which the mucocele occupied, communicated directly with the lateral ventricle without any intervening membranous structures. A frontal craniotomy is recommended for exposure of the lesion and plastic repair of the dural defect.
