AbstractIt is a rare and underdiagnosed entity. The adagium “one only sees what one knows” is certainly true in cases of Blake's pouch cyst, as all types of posterior fossa cysts and cyst-like malformations may present nearly identical on initial imaging studies. Only one case of Blake's pouch cyst has been reported from this country, except for a case in utero, in which a diagnosis of Blake's pouch cyst was made on prenatal ultrasound and later confirmed by MRI. In this report we describe a case of Blake's pouch cyst in a 9-month-old male child along with the principles of diagnosis of Blake's pouch cyst, in combination with literature review. Differentiating Blake's pouch cyst from other posterior fossa cysts and cyst-like malformations and recognizing the accompanying hydrocephalus that are essentially noncommunicating have important implications not only on clinical management but also on genetic counseling, which is unnecessary in case of Blake's pouch cyst.

Abstract Subependymomas are a rare subtype of ependymomas, slow growing WHO grade I tumors that develop either intracranial from the subependymal glial precursor cells layer of the ventricles or intramedullary. These tumors originate in the undifferentiated Subependymal layer of cells that can become either ependymocytes or astrocytes. Most of the subependymomas are located inside the fourth ventricle (50-60%). We reviewed the case of a 40 years old woman with a giant solid cystic fourth ventricle ependymoma. The patient underwent total resection of the tumor through a subociipital transvermian approach. We discussed the characteristics of these benign tumors and reviewed the literature on this subject and concluded that total resection is the treatment of choice for symptomatic Subependymomas localized in posterior fossa.

Successful Resolution

Intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare cause of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Successful resolution of AVM-related TN following embolization surgery using Onyx has not been reported. In this case report, a posterior fossa AVM was embolized in two separate, staged endovascular surgeries using Onyx. The AVM was reduced in size, and the TN resolved. The patient subsequently underwent radiosurgery for the small, residual AVM, and he has maintained an uneventful follow-up. A thorough literature review was also performed for AVM-associated TN. Fifty-nine reports of AVM-related TN have been described to date, of which only three were treated with embosurgery. None of the prior two embosurgical reports utilized Onyx, and no AVM was obliterated with embosurgery alone. TN secondary to AVM can be resolved with embosurgery utilizing Onyx; however, complete elimination of the underlying AVM requires adjuvant surgery.
