AbstractSinus pericranii (SP) are abnormal vascular connections between extracranial scalp venous channels and intracranial dural sinuses. This vascular abnormality rarely results in significant sequelae, but in select cases, it can be symptomatic. We describe the case of a 7-year-old girl with an SP who experienced intermittent visual, motor, and sensory symptoms not previously described in the literature. Her symptoms resolved after surgical treatment of the SP. We propose a mechanism for her symptoms and the rationale for the role of neurosurgical intervention along with a review of the literature.

Embryonal Tumor

Embryonal tumor with abundant neuropil and true rosettes (ETANTR) is rarely seen in the brainstem, and there are few case reports of brainstem ETANTR in the literature. Accordingly, the characteristics and the role of surgical treatment of this rare entity remain unclear. The authors present a case of brainstem ETANTR involving a 33-month-old boy along with a review of the literature and discuss the role of surgical removal in the treatment of this entity. In the authors’ case, the tumor was surgically treated with subtotal resection, which resulted in improvement of the patient’s preoperative symptoms. Chemotherapy was initiated but did not appear to be effective, radiotherapy was declined, and the boy died 6 months after the operation. Based on their analysis of 10 previously reported cases and their own case, the authors conclude that, with respect to survival, surgery may be beneficial even in cases of ETANTR in the brainstem. They note, however, that further studies with a large number of cases are needed to validate the role of surgical treatment in brainstem ETANTR.

Disease Case

Abstract A 25-year-old man was hospitalized after suffering a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Arteriograms disclosed two arteriovenous malformations, one of which was asymptomatic. Rendu-Osler-Weber disease was suspected because of the concomitant existence of cutaneous telangiectases, Review of the literature shows that in 12 previously published cases involving multiple arteriovenous malformations, this diagnosis was established five times. The indications for surgical treatment are discussed.
