We present a case of solitary vascular tumor on posterior cranial fossa in a 15-year-old female who had a complaint of headache on/off for six months with associated dizziness, nausea, vomiting and vertigo. Well circumscribed solid vascular mass was localized on posterior fossa by computed tomography along with magnetic resonance imaging scan. Furthermore, the diagnosis was confirmed by surgical findings and histological examinations.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Vol. 14, No. 2,  2017 Page: 47-50

Abstract OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE Indications for surgery and the surgical technique of foramen magnum decompression for patients with Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia are controversial issues. This case report supports the view that observation may be adequate for patients without progressive symptoms or with mild clinical symptoms. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 37-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of burning dysesthesias and hypesthesia in her right arm. A neurological examination revealed hypesthesia in the right trigeminal distribution. A magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed a Chiari I malformation with syringomyelia between C2 and T2. No hydrocephalus was observed. CLINICAL COURSE Because the patient's symptoms regressed spontaneously, surgery was not performed. Thirty-two months after her initial examination, the patient was asymptomatic. A second magnetic resonance imaging scan was obtained, which demonstrated complete spontaneous resolution of the Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia. CONCLUSION We attribute the regression of the patient's symptoms to spontaneous recanalization of cerebrospinal fluid pathways at the foramen magnum, which most likely was due to rupture of the arachnoid membranes that had obstructed cerebrospinal fluid flow.

We present the case of a 37-year-old man with plasma cell granuloma affecting the middle ear and mastoid. At magnetic resonance imaging scan, the lesion appeared as a homogeneously enhancing mass of soft tissue replacing the majority of the mastoid bone and causing vascular compression. After surgical resection, microscopic examination showed predominantly plasmacytes, and histochemical studies confirmed a polyclonal origin consistent with nonneoplastic plasma cell granuloma. We believe this is the first case report of plasma cell granuloma affecting the middle ear and mastoid.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis is an unusual benign tumor of the joint lining. It is most common in the knee, but occasionally occurs in the ankle. It can present with pain and swelling of the joint. The appearance is characteristic on a magnetic resonance imaging scan. Complete excision and synovectomy is the usual treatment.
