Movement disorders caused by brain tumors are rare. The diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD) is based foremost on clinical findings. However, not performing imaging already within the initial diagnostic workup in patients presenting with symptoms of PD can delay or miss a serious diagnosis and consequently proper treatment. We describe and discuss a 59-year-old female patient who presented for several months of increasing tremor in her left hand, which was caused by a large meningioma located in the right frontal area, pressing on the right frontal lobe and nucleus lenticularis.

A 13 years old boy admitted with the complaint of progressive exophthalmos and gradually decreasing vision on right eye, also occasional headache and deformity on the right fronto-orbital region. Radiological & clinical findings revealed a case of frontal osteoma in the right frontal sinus extending up to right frontal lobe, eroding right roof of the orbit. Complete excision of the tumor mass was possible surgically. Biopsy confirmed a case of osteoma.

✓ A porcine model of regional intracranial pressure was used to compare regional brain tissue pressure (RBTP) changes during expansion of an extradural temporal mass lesion. Measurements of RBTP were obtained by placing fiberoptic intraparenchymal pressure monitors in the right and left frontal lobes (RF and LF), right and left temporal lobes (RT and LT), midbrain (MB), and cerebellum (CB). During expansion of the right temporal mass, significant RBTP gradients developed in a reproducible pattern: RT > LF = LT > RF > MB > CB. These gradients appeared early, widened as the volume of the mass increased, and persisted for the entire duration of the experiment. The study indicates that RBTP gradients develop in the presence of an extradural temporal mass lesion. The highest RBTP was recorded in the ipsilateral temporal lobe, whereas the next highest was recorded in the contralateral frontal lobe. The RBTP that was measured in either frontal lobe underestimated the temporal RBTP. These results indicated that if a frontal intraparenchymal pressure monitor is used in a patient with temporal lobe pathology, the monitor should be placed on the contralateral side and a lower threshold for therapy of increased intracranial pressure should be adopted. Furthermore, this study provides further evidence that reliance on a single frontal intraparenchymal pressure monitor may not detect all areas of elevated RBTP.

Recently, in the scientist community of specialists dealing with structural epilepsy, it has been noticed an increasing interest in a special form of cortical development disorder not to be included in the ILAE Classification of the epilepsies the 2017 revision. It is so-called mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia and epilepsy (MOGHE). There are a number of publications devoted to the neuroimaging features of MOGHE, which are possible to distinguish from other epileptogenic substrates in comparisons with clinical/anamnestic data and dynamic observation. Our paper describes the case of a patient under 6 years suffering from pharmacoresistant epilepsy with histologically confirmed MOGHE, and having undergone the procedure of epileptic surgery. MRI showed an increased intensity of the T2/FLAIR signal from the white matter in combination with signs of laminar hyperintensivity, regional sulcation disturbance, smoothness of gray-white matter demarcation in the right frontal lobe. A signal intensification from the white matter with the formation similarity of the «transmantl» sign and further pronounced smoothness of the gray-white matter demarcation was observed on dynamic MRI. These changes were estimated as focal cortical dysplasia. Pre-surgical examination revealed a correlation of epileptiform activity with MRI changes. The subtotal resection of the right frontal lobe and the morphological conclusion established the presence of MOGHE was performed.

Introduction/Aim. Brain tumors are very rare in pregnancy. Diagnosis could be very simple if one consider brain tumor alongside blurred symptoms of headache, repetitive vomiting and/or epileptic attacks during pregnancy. The aim of this paper was to emphasize the importance of such pregnancy expert control and completion. Case report. We presented a 45-year-old pregnant woman at 30 weeks of gestation, and with brain tumor recidive in frontal lobe, hystologicaly confirmed as astrocytoma. The patient was newly diagnosed with tumor in 1995, and monitored until 2003, when she was operated. Due to malignant profile and a partial removal of tumor masses, postoperative gamma-ray therapy was recommended. Because of the continuous need for that kind of therapy, termination of pregnancy was also recommended. It was carried out by the application of PGE2 vaginal tablets. Delivery lasted for 8 hours and 50 minutes, and with auxilium manuale sec. Bracht, due to the breech presentation, newborn was delivered 1 550 grams in weight and 39 cm length. Apgar score was 6/7. Conclusion. Pregnancy in patient with brain tumors can be intensively monitored by neurosurgeons and obstetricians, and with the use of the symptomatical therapy almost up to the delivery term. Surgical intervention is recommended to be performed during the second and/or third trimester if the condition requires. The way of delivery in these patients should be individually determined in the most appropriate way both for the mother and the newborn, under given circumstances.

Abstract Background Studies on the relationship between psychiatric symptoms and brain tumors are ambiguous, as it is not clear whether these symptoms are due to the direct effect of the tumor or a secondary psychological response to stress, resulting from the diagnosis and treatment of the disease; therefore, it is difficult to analyze and retrieve relevant information. Case presentation We present the case of a 43-year-old male patient, who was admitted to a psychiatric emergency room with psychiatric symptoms, such as restlessness and extreme talkativeness, but normal neurological examinations. He showed no response to outpatient treatment and had no history of psychiatric disorders. The onset of symptoms was 2 months before his visit. On neuroimaging, a brain tumor was observed in the right temporal and occipital lobes. Accordingly, the patient was transferred to the neurosurgery ward. Conclusion Factors, such as increased internal pressure on the brain due to a brain tumor or the effect of tumor area, contribute to the occurrence of symptoms, such as restlessness and talkativeness. However, further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

A 46-year-old woman with erythema of the right breast presented to our hospital and was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer (HER2-positive invasive ductal carcinoma). She received 4 courses of anthracycline-based regimens and 4 courses of trastuzumab + pertuzumab + docetaxel (Tmab + Pmab + DTX). Since she responded well to these therapies, only Tmab + Pmab was continued thereafter. Twenty-three months after starting treatment, she developed a headache. A tumor was identified in the right temporal lobe. Craniotomy was performed for definitive diagnosis. Intraoperative pathological assessment suggested the tumor to be brain metastasis of breast cancer. However, the final pathological diagnosis was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of central nervous system (DLBCL-CNS) based on re-assessment with immunohistochemical examinations. Therefore, the Tmab + Pmab was discontinued, and 6 courses of high-dose methotrexate therapy were administered. This case highlights the importance of considering rare entities, such as DLBCL, when diagnosing a solitary brain tumor in a patient with a primary cancer, based on imaging and pathological findings.
