✓ A 9-year-old schoolgirl received 6007 rads to the suprasellar region for craniopharyngioma. Five years later, a malignant astrocytoma developed in the right temporal lobe. We cite clinical and experimental evidence to support our suspicion that the glioma may have been induced by radiation.

✓ A 51-year-old woman became unconscious 19 hours after the onset of a headache. Computerized tomography disclosed an intracerebral hematoma in the left temporal lobe, with ventricular penetration. Angiography demonstrated the characteristic appearance of cerebrovascular moyamoya disease as well as an aneurysm-like shadow in the left temporal lobe, which proved on histological examination to be a pseudoaneurysm.

Cystic Meningiomas

✓ Meningiomas have been reported to have associated areas of surrounding low density on computerized tomography (CT). These low-density areas may represent edema, widened subarachnoid spaces, loculated cerebrospinal fluid, demyelination, or adjacent tumor. Two cases are presented in which this adjacent area of low density represented a tumor cyst. Recognition is important as the CT appearance of these lesions may simulate a metastatic tumor.

✓ Cerebral chromoblastomycosis is a rare intracranial lesion. This lesion was found in a 23-year-old man, who presented with right proptosis and fainting attacks. Computerized tomography revealed a moderately enhanced irregular mass in the right frontal region. Angiography disclosed that the mass was avascular. At surgery, a hard elastic avascular tumor was totally removed piecemeal. Histological diagnosis was a granuloma of fungal origin. Characteristic brown pigments in the hyphae of fungus in the granuloma strongly suggested that the fungus was chromoblastomycosis. The postoperative course was complicated by meningitis and rupture of fungal aneurysms. The patient remained vegetative and died 2½ years later. The literature on such fungal aneurysms is briefly reviewed; no previous case of fungal aneurysms associated with cerebral chromoblastomycosis could be found.

✓ Lymphomatoid granulomatosis is of uncertain etiology and poses problems with diagnosis and treatment. A case with involvement of the right temporal lobe, but associated with cystoid macular edema of the retina, is described. The unusual mode of presentation, the radiographic, operative, and pathological findings, the response to surgery and radiotherapy, and the possible etiology are discussed.

✓ A case of tuberculous brain abscess in a 52-year-old woman is presented. The computerized tomographic (CT) scan demonstrated a multilocular space-occupying lesion in the right parietal area, surrounded by a thick hyperdense enhancing rim. It is suggested that a relatively long clinical history together with the appearance of a thick-walled abscess-like lesion on the CT scan may indicate the diagnosis of a tuberculous brain abscess.

✓ A rare case of multiple primary hydatid cysts of the brain is reported in a 9-year-old girl. There were five cysts, occupying most of the right supratentorial region. The biggest cyst measured 9 cm across, while the smallest one was 4.5 cm in diameter. The diagnosis was based on computerized tomography findings. The patient did not have any evidence of hydatid disease elsewhere in the body. The delivery of all the cysts resulted in the dramatic neurological recovery of this patient.

✓ Computerized tomography (CT) has replaced pneumoencephalography and ventriculography in the diagnosis of intraventricular cysticercosis. The authors present a refinement in the use of CT by introducing a positive contrast medium into the ventricles to increase the definition of plain and contrast-enhanced scans in the diagnosis of intraventricular cysticercosis. Eleven cases of Cysticercus cyst are presented, 10 of which were precisely delineated by CT-iodoventriculography. In the remaining case, lack of definition was due to obstruction of the cerebral aqueduct. Surgical confirmation was obtained in all cases.

✓ A large subdural xanthogranuloma was removed from the posterior fossa of a 53-year-old woman with symptoms of Hand-Schüller-Christian disease. Two additional masses with similar density on computerized tomography were found in the hypothalamus and in the choroid plexus of the right lateral ventricle.
