Space Occupying Lesion

A 19‑year‑old male patient was admitted, after experiencing occasional headaches during the previous 6 months. The patient's headaches had become progressively more severe 1 month prior to admis­sion to hospital, and were associated with right upper limb weakness. As revealed by cranial computed tomog­raphy, a high‑density lesion was observed in the left parietal region [CT values, 52 Houns field units, (HU)] and a peripheral low‑density edematous zone was visible.(figure a) . The medical history of the patient included an indolent 4x4 cm subcutaneous iliac mass in the left lower limb from last one year, which the patient had neglected. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed as space occupying lesion brain. During surgery, a purplish‑red tumor was observed in the brain. Intraoperative crush cytology was asked for. JMS 2017;20(2):108

Background:Neurenteric cysts are congenital cysts of the central nervous system that are believed to be of endodermal origin. In this report we present the unique case of a supratentorial neurenteric cyst that is contained entirely within the brain parenchyma.Methods:Apatient presented with an intraparenchymal cystic lesion that was subsequently identified as a neurenteric cyst. This lesion is reviewed in light of the available literature.Case report:A 35-year-old female presented with a one year history of progressive headaches and seizure-like episodes. Her examination revealed no deficits. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a 4 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm cystic lesion within the parenchyma of the right frontal lobe. A right frontal craniotomy and complete excision of the cystic lesion was performed. Pathologic examination confirmed that it was a neurenteric cyst. Postoperatively the patient's symptoms improved.Conclusion:Review of the literature revealed this to be the first case of a surgically excised, pathologically confirmed supratentorial neurenteric cyst, contained entirely within the brain parenchyma.

Nervous system involvement in Lyme disease was originally described as meningitis, cranial neuritis, and radiculoneuritis,1-3 but Lyme disease can also involve the brain parenchyma. We describe a child whose first manifestation of Lyme disease was an acute, focal meningoencephalitis with signs and symptoms such as fever, headache, slurred speech, hemiparesis, seizure, and CSF pleocytosis. CASE REPORT A 7-year-old boy was hospitalized Aug 27, 1985, because of hemiparesis. Six weeks prior to admission he had vacationed at Old Lyme, CT. There was no history of rash or tick bite. He had been well until eight hours prior to admission when fever and headache developed.

A seven-year-old male Border Collie was presented with a history of lethargy, episodic circling, incoordination and polydypsia. Physical examination revealed depression, obesity and bradycardia. A neurological examination indicated the possible presence of a space-occupying lesion in the brain. Results of the clinical investigation revealed hyposthenuria, sinus bradycardia and increased concentration of protein in the cerebrospinal fluid. A computerised axial tomography scan revealed a mass in the region of the hypophysis. The dog was euthanased and a post mortem examination confirmed the presence of a craniopharyngioma.

Early neurosurgical procedures dealt mainly with treatment of head trauma, especially skull fractures. Since the early medical writings by Hippocrates, a great deal of respect was given to the dura mater, and many other surgeons warned against violating the dura. It was not until the 19th century that neurosurgeons started venturing beneath the dura, deep into the brain parenchyma. With this advancement, brain retraction became an essential component of intracranial surgery. Over the years brain retractors have been created pragmatically to provide better visualization, increased articulations and degrees of freedom, greater stability, less brain retraction injury, and less user effort. Brain retractors have evolved from simple handheld retractors to intricate brain-retraction systems with hand-rest stabilizers. This paper will focus on the history of brain retractors, the different types of retractors, and the progression from one form to another.

Abstract This is the second reported case of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the heart that metastasized to the brain. A 33-year-old woman developed headache, nausea, and ataxic gait 9 months after removal of the tumor from the left atrium of the heart. Computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scans disclosed multiple metastatic tumors in the brain. Although dramatic improvement in her symptoms and signs followed the removal of the brain tumors, she died of tumor recurrence in the left atrium 3 months after the removal of the metastatic brain tumors.

Background: Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare solid tumour made of myeloblasts or immature myeloid cells in an extramedullary site or in bone, associated with systemic hematologic neoplasms. When they occur in the brain parenchyma, they can often be misdiagnosed. Methods: The authors report a case of a 4-year old boy 6 months out of remission from AML, presenting with a short history of headaches and vomiting, and found to have a heterogenous contrast-enhancing lesion in the right cerebellar hemisphere, with differential diagnosis of myeloid sarcoma, astrocytoma, medulloblastoma and ATRT. Preliminary diagnosis was made flow cytometry from an intraoperative biopsy. The patient had a long course of chemotherapy and radiation, but eventually died from the systemic burden of his AML. Results: The authors present a literature review on 178 published cases of CNS myeloid sarcomas, and their radiological presentation and the basis of immunohistochemical and pathological diagnosis is discussed. Conclusions: Diagnosis rests on a combination of immunohistochemistry and histopathology of biopsied tissue. Surgical resection is controversial, especially given the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation, and prognosis remains unclear. As with all uncommon and rare clinical entities, further investigation is warranted to determine prognosis and optimal management of CNS myeloid sarcomas.

A young Indian man presented elsewhere with a short history of haematuria and cough. Investigations revealed renal and pulmonary lesions. Histopathology of these lesions was reported as mucormycosis. He consulted us two months after onset of symptoms, asymptomatic and clinically well, having received no treatment. In view of clinico-histopathological discordance, a review of the biopsy slides was advised but the patient refused further work-up at that time. One week later, however, he was admitted with left hemiparesis. Brain imaging showed an abscess. He underwent surgical excision of the brain abscess and nephrectomy. Review of previous slides showed septate fungal filaments with granulomatous inflammation. Intraoperative cultures grew Aspergillus flavus. He received voriconazole for one year and is well at his two-year follow-up. His immunological work-up was negative for immunodeficiency. This case illustrates that granulomatous aspergillosis may be an indolent infection in apparently normal individuals and reiterates the importance of interpreting diagnostic reports in conjunction with clinical features.
