Cranial Fossa

Meningiomas are usually benign lesions that rarely involve the temporal bone and rarely occur in children or adolescents. A case of a posterior cranial fossa and temporal bone meningioma in a 9-year-old girl is presented; no similar case was found in the world literature.

Chronic Myelopathy

Syringomyelia is a chronic myelopathy with the formation of cavities in the spinal cord. The most common cause of syringomyelia is the obstruction of the cerebrospinal fl uid tract at the craniovertebral junction level in patients with Chiari malformation. The main method of treatment of syringomyelia is surgical, aimed at stopping the progression of the disease. To date, controversial data on the postoperative regression of myelopathic symptoms and factors contributing to a positive clinical outcome are presented in the world literature Goal of the study: to assess the dynamics of myelopathic symptoms of syringomyelia at the postoperative stage.Material and methods. 44 patients with syringomyelia associated with Chiari 1 malformation, who underwent decompression of the posterior cranial fossa and had positive postoperative radiological dynamics of the syringomyelitis cavity were included to our retrospective study. Patients were evaluated by clinical and MRI parameters at the preoperative and distant postoperative stages.Results. Analysis of clinical and MRI indicators at the preoperative and remote postoperative stages allowed us to determine the frequency of regression of myelopathic symptoms and to identify it’s main dynamics predictors.

Abstract A rare case of a meningioma of the posterior margin of the petrous temporal bone associated with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is presented. After a careful review of the literature, the possible pathogenesis of the fistulous tract is discussed. (Neurosurgery 21:742-744, 1987)

AbstractWe present an unusual case of generalized erosion of the skull base. We have not found a similar case reported in the world literature. The presenting symptom was spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea which arose from a bony defect associated with herniation of the right temporal lobe into the sphenoid sinus. We discuss the management of such a case including imaging of the skull base and the endoscopic repair of the bony defect.

AbstractParagangliomas of the cauda equina are tumors of rare incidence, with ∼ 220 cases described in the world literature. They are benign lesions, grade I by the World Health Organization (WHO), whose definitive diagnosis can only be made by immunohistochemical analysis. Its neuroendocrine nature is evidenced by the presence of chromogranin. The relevance of reporting this case is because paragangliomas of the cauda equina should be included among the differential diagnoses of intradural and extramedullary tumors, and especially because they can cause perioperative and intraoperative hypertensive crises by adrenergic discharge.The present study presents the case of a 36-year-old male patient diagnosed with a lumbar spine tumor located in the central spinal canal that presented as cauda equina syndrome involving 4 months of bilateral sciatica, paraparesis, urinary and fecal retention. The diagnosis of paraganglioma was confirmed by immunohistochemical positivity for chromogranin after microsurgical resection of the tumor.

Cranial Fossa

Cholesterol granulomas of the temporal bone can occur in the petrous apex, middle ear, and mastoid cavity. Although cholesterol granulomas in the petrous apex often extend to the middle cranial fossa, cholesterol granulomas in the middle ear and mastoids rarely invade the cranial cavity with bony erosion. We report a case of a large cholesterol granuloma involving the posterior cranial fossa with pneumatic mastoid and not affecting the middle ear. The patient had no otologic or neurologic symptoms, and the mass was found incidentally on a brain MRI included in a regular medical checkup. The mass was removed via a combined transmastoid and suboccipital approach without complications, and characteristic pathology findings demonstrated a cholesterol granuloma.

Subjective tinnitus (heard only by the patient) is a common otological complaint. Objective tinnitus (heard by the examiner as well as the patient) is extremely rare. There are only a few cases of objective tinnitus, secondary to middle-ear myoclonus, described in the literature.We present the case of a child with bilateral, congenital, objective tinnitus, secondary to middle-ear myoclonus, with otherwise normal hearing thresholds (250Hz-8kHz), and with no evidence of intra-cerebral or systemic disorders. No similar case has been reported in the world literature.
