Cerebellopontine angle lipoma in asymptomatic patients: case report

AbstractVestibular schwannomas (VSs) account for ∼ 70% of all tumors of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). Their clinical presentation is often insidious, with progressive hearing loss and involvement of other cranial nerves. Spontaneous hemorrhage in those tumors is very unusual, and generally presents with acute clinical features such as nausea, vomiting, headache and altered consciousness, usually with marked dysfunction of the cranial nerve involved, and with new deficits of neighboring cranial nerves. Asymptomatic patients are extremely rare. We present a case report of an incidental VS with asymptomatic bleeding, which evolved to death after surgery.

Abstract BackgroundThe brugada syndrome（BrS）is an inherited disorder that can lead to sudden death. A young man who experienced sudden cardiac arrest caused by Brs was successfully rescued after 2hour cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This is a case that has raised concerns in China (more than 200 million people read this news via the internet).Case presentationA 28 years old young man was successfully managed with Veno-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) after more than 2 hours CPR. The diagnosis of BrS was identified during ECMO supported, and further ECG screening found two asymptomatic patients. ConclusionBrS can lead to malignant arrhythmia. VA-ECMO is the rescue treatment for patients with cardiac arrest who cannot be cured by conventional resuscitation. VA-ECMO combined with CRRT may help to improve the prognosis of critically ill patients.

Abstract A case of childhood teratoma in the cerebellopontine angle associated with shunted congenital hydrocephalus is presented. The need for detailed computed axial scanning with and without contrast in congenital hydrocephalus not associated with intraventricular hemorrhage or myelodysplasia is emphasized.
