Posterior Fossa Operation

Abstract A 16-year-old boy was noted to have an apparent intradural sacral mass 6 weeks after the excision of a 4th ventricle ependymoma. Although spinal axis radiation was considered, it was decided to make a definitive tissue diagnosis. At sacral laminectomy, only segmental arachnoiditis was found. The implications of this finding are the subject of this case report.

Posterior Fossa Operation

Abstract An unusual complication of air embolism through a ventriculoatrial shunt occurred in a patient undergoing posterior fossa operation in the sitting position. Because ventriculoatrial shunts are uncommon, this potential complication may not be widely recognized. A case is presented and the clinical aspects are discussed. (Neurosurgery 16:83–84, 1985)

Mature Teratoma

Mature teratomas (MTs) of the posterior fossa are extremely rare. The authors present a case of a prenatal diagnosis of an MT splitting the brainstem. Representative images as well as the clinical and surgical course are presented. Literature regarding “split brainstem” and MT of the posterior fossa is discussed.

Abstract A case of hemangioma calcificans in the 4th ventricle is reported. Skull x-ray films demonstrated a dense calcification in the posterior fossa. Computed tomography disclosed a hyperdense mass in the 4th ventricle. The clinical picture was of increased intracranial pressure due to obstructive hydrocephalus. An hemangioma calcificans in the 4th ventricle was removed successfully.

Daily Pain

For twelve years, the subject of this report, a 38-year-old man, presented a clinical condition compatible with the SUNCT (short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing) syndrome. He presented a stabbing and intense daily pain located in the left pre-auricular and temporal regions. Each of these intense pain attacks lasted around one minute and presented a frequency of two to eight times per day. The pain was associated with ipsilateral lacrimation, conjunctival injection and rhinorrhea. MRI revealed a pituitary tumor with little suprasellar extent. The subject’s serial assays of prolactin, GH, TSH and ACTH were within normal levels. Following transsphenoidal hypophysectomy, with complete removal of the tumor, the subject no more presented pain. The pathological diagnosis was non-secreting adenoma. Fourteen months after the surgery, he remains symptom-free.
