OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of this study is to categorize the symptoms associated with brain tumors as diagnosed in the emergency department (ED). The secondary objective is to detail the specific characteristics of these headaches via a subgroup analysis.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the ocular manifestations of brainstem tumors and to avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
METHODS
This is a retrospective case series study. The clinical data of 57 brainstem tumor in-patients were collected from 1993 to 2007. The clinical manifestations and the results
BACKGROUND
The aim of this retrospective report is to describe our experience with the Essen-23G biopsy forceps (Akgül forceps) for biopsies of pigmented iris tumours.
METHODS
In this retrospective study of cases between October 2012 and September 2013, patients with iris tumours and clinical signs
OBJECTIVE
We report an unusual case of an extraventricular choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) occupying the right ventral foramen magnum and lower right cerebellopontine angle (CPA), occurring together with a petro-tentorial meningioma. The clinical presentation, preoperative imaging, differential
Introduction. Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis occurs in about 5% of cancer patients. Ocular involvement is a common clinical manifestation and often the presenting clinical feature. Materials and Methods. We report the case of a 52-year old lady with optic neuritis as isolated manifestation of
A case of astroblastoma in a male newborn baby was reported. He has been suffered from convulsive seizures from six hours later after the birth, not controlled by the anticonvulsants, and lumbar tap revealed bloody cerebrospinal fluid. He had no response against the noxious stimuli and left clonic
A 24-year-old woman with a large cell anaplastic CD 30-positive T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) developed downbeat nystagmus, anisocoria, and oscillopsia. Prior to overt cerebral invasion by NHL, she had a thiamine deficiency with very low thiamine concentrations in the CSF, probably caused by
A 37-year-old woman presented with an extremely rare large oculomotor schwannoma associated with acute hydrocephalus manifesting as semicoma and anisocoria. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor in the oculomotor cistern. Cerebral angiography revealed separation
A 62-year-old woman with a history of metastatic breast cancer and known meningioma presented with unilateral vision loss associated with anisocoria and an afferent pupillary defect. On magnetic resonance imaging we found the cause to be optic nerve compression by a right frontal meningioma.
Pneumocephalus can be seen after head injury with fracture of the skull-base or in cerebral neoplasm, infection, or after intracranial or spinal surgery. We report on a 69-year-old male patient with pneumocephalus after right-sided lobectomy and en bloc resection of the chest wall for non-small-cell
Magnetic resonance and functional brain imaging continue to expand their roles in complementing the clinical examination to localize the causes of eye-movement disorders. A retrospective review from county-based clinical practices emphasized generally benign causes of third, fourth, and sixth
An 11-year-old female intact Staffordshire Bull Terrier was referred to the Queen's Veterinary School Hospital at the University of Cambridge with sudden onset of episodic behavioral changes, a mammary mass, and papilledema in the right eye. On physical examination the dog appeared depressed and had
A 41-year-old man presented with a 7-year history of gradually increasing right proptosis and a 2-year history of decreased vision and limited eye movements. Right proptosis (11 mm), limitation of movement in all gazes, anisocoria, and visual impairment implied orbital apex compression. Computed
Schwannomas are generally benign tumors, well delimited, resulting from nerve sheaths that are frequently found in the thorax, mainly in the posterior mediastinum. We report a 58-year-old patient who carried out investigations following the appearance of a large right supraclavicular cervical mass
BACKGROUND
From a surgical perspective, tentorial fold (TF) meningiomas (TFM) are a unique entity of tumors. They involve the supra- and infratentorial space and often are in close contact to the cavernous sinus, cranial nerves, and the mesencephalon. Complete resection is challenging and can be
