Glomus Jugulare Tumour

AbstractA subgroup of complex glomus jugulare tumours exists. This includes: multiple, giant or neuropeptide-secreting lesions; those associated with other lesions, such as dural arterio-venous malformation or an adrenal tumour; and tumours in which there has been previous treatment with adverse outcome. To our knowledge, we present the first case of a glomus jugulare tumour associated with a posterior fossa cyst. This entity should be included in the subgroup of complex glomus jugulare tumours.

AbstractObjectivesLung tissue choristoma is a very rare disorder where mature lung tissues develop in the site not normal to the lung.Case presentationWe hereby report a first case of fetal pulmonary choristoma in a 23–24 weeks fetus where antenatal ultrasound showed a mass in posterior fossa with severe ventriculomegaly. The mass extended inferiorly in cervical spinal column and thereafter extended in the skin over the back of fetus. Fetal autopsy confirmed these findings. Pathologic findings showed mature lung tissues with bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. Clinical exome sequencing showed normal results.ConclusionsWe describe the antenatal ultrasound, fetal autopsy and pathologic findings of an intracranial and cutaneous pulmonary choristoma.

Glomus Jugulare Tumour

AbstractMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in a case of malignant glomus jugulare tumour are reported. Chemodectomas are benign in 95 per cent of cases and malignant in five per cent. Only one case report of CT findings in this unusual CP angle tumour with pulmonary metastases has been cited in the literature.It is concluded that MRI can provide useful information about the nature of chemodectomas although it cannot dislinguish between benign and malignant tumours, except when regional lymph nodes are involved or when distant metastases exist.

Object The optimal treatment of symptomatic posterior fossa arachnoid cysts is controversial. Current options include open or endoscopic resection, fenestration, or cyst-peritoneal shunt placement. There are potential drawbacks with all options. Previous authors have described stenting a cyst into the ventricular system for supratentorial lesions. The current authors have used a similar strategy for posterior fossa cysts. Methods The authors performed a retrospective review of 79 consecutive patients (1993–2010) with surgically treated intracranial arachnoid cysts. Results The authors identified 3 patients who underwent placement of a stent from a posterior fossa arachnoid cyst to a supratentorial ventricle. In 2 patients the stent construct consisted of a catheter placed into a posterior fossa arachnoid cyst and connecting to a lateral ventricle catheter. Both patients underwent stent placement as a salvage procedure after failure of open surgical fenestration. In the third patient a single-catheter cyst-ventricle stent was stereotactically placed. All 3 patients improved clinically. Two patients remained asymptomatic, with radiographic stability in a follow-up period of 1 and 5 years, respectively. The third patient experienced initial symptom resolution with a demonstrable reduction of intracystic pressure. However, he developed recurrent headaches after 2 years. Conclusions Posterior fossa cyst–ventricle stenting offers the benefits of ease of surgical technique and a low morbidity rate. It may also potentially reduce the incidence of shunt-related headaches by equalizing the pressure between the posterior fossa and the supratentorial compartments. While fenestration is considered the first-line therapy for most symptomatic arachnoid cysts, the authors consider cyst-ventricle stenting to be a valuable additional strategy in treating these rare and often difficult lesions.

High Index Of Suspicion

Uterine arterio-venous malformation is one of the differentials of dysfunctional uterine bleeding that can result in life-threatening emergency with sudden, unexpected massive vaginal bleeding. We describe a case of 20-year old female, who presented with sudden heavy vaginal bleeding and was diagnosed with uterine arterio-venous malformation on post-mortem examination. High index of suspicion is required to make a timely diagnosis for appropriate management and to avoid maternal morbidity and mortality. Key words: Uterine arterio-venous malformations, embolization, dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
