Extracranial Meningioma

Abstract Meningiomas are common benign intracranial tumors. However, intracranial meningiomas with extracranial extension are exceedingly rare lesions with only a few reported cases in the literature. We report a case of an 86 years old female patient presented with enlarging mass over left parietal region for last 3 years. Besides cosmetic, she had no complaints. Head CT scan with bone window showed a large tumor consisting of intracranial and extracranial part, suggestive for meningioma. Patient was operated, and both parts of tumor were removed. Taking into account surgery indication and patient’s age, bone flap was returned. The postoperative course was uneventful and patient fully recovered. In the case of epicranial tumor attached to the underlying bone, meningioma should be excluded.

Mesenteric Hernia

Congenital Trans mesenteric Hernia (CTMH) is a rare entity of internal hernia that occur as a congenital defect in children due to an error in the rotation of the midget, presenting usually with an abdominal pain, fever and bilious vomiting. However, if left untreated, disastrous outcomes such as acute bowel obstruction and strangulation can take place. Its diagnosis is sometimes challenging to physicians and requires exploratory laparotomy to confirm the presence of a hernia defect. CT scan prior to surgery is seldom needed and may not have a benefit to guide for the exact diagnosis. For treatment, surgical repair, either open or laparoscopic, is the procedure of choice to manage such a condition. We report a case of CTMH in a 3.5–year-old female patient who presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and inconsolable crying.
