Rare Case of Young Patient with Intraventricular Angiomatous Meningioma

Arq. bras. neurocir; 40 (3), 2021
Pediatricmeningiomas are rare and account for only 2.2% of the central nervous system (CNS) tumors. In this age group, they aremore frequently located in atypical sites, such as, mainly, the ventricular system, with a frequency of 8.8 to 13.6%. Adding this to the fact that the angiomatous subtype constit...

Extracerebral Pterional Metastasis from Malignant Meningioma: A Case Report

Arq. bras. neurocir; 40 (2), 2021
Anaplastic or malignant meningiomas that are classified as World Health Organization (WHO) grade III account for less than 1% of all meningiomas diagnosed. Despite the aggressive course, distant metastases are a rarity, occurring in only 0.1% to 0.2% of cases. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman wh...

Objective To describe our surgical techniques, analyze their safety and their postoperative outcomes for foramen magnum tumors (FMTs). Methods From 1986 to 2014, 34 patients with FMTs underwent surgeries using either the lateral suboccipital approach, standard midline suboccipital craniotomy, or the far ...

Lymphoplasmacyte-Rich Meningioma of the Third Ventricle: Case Report

Arq. bras. neurocir; 39 (2), 2020
Introduction Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors, accounting for up to 35% of the neoplasms in this category. Approximately 10–20% of these neoplasms are histologically atypical, and the lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma (LPM) corresponds to a very rare subtype of meningioma that...

Meningioma of the Fourth Ventricle: Literature Review

Arq. bras. neurocir; 39 (1), 2020
Meningiomas are among the most common central nervous system tumors, with an incidence that ranges from 15% to 40% of intracranial tumors. Of these, only 0.5% to 3% are intraventricular, and the rarest of them occurs in the fourth ventricle. Fourth-ventricle meningiomas originate generally fromthe choroi...

Chordoid Meningioma: Literature Review

Arq. bras. neurocir; 39 (1), 2020
Chordoid meningiomas (CMs) are a rare subgroup of tumors, accounting for 0.5% of all meningiomas. Chordoid meningioma tumors correspond to World Health Organization (WHO) Grade II lesions and behave aggressively, with an increased likelihood of recurrence. There are few genetic studies about CMs, but we...

Endoscopic endonasal double flap technique for reconstruction of large anterior skull base defects: technical note

Abstract Introduction: One of the main concerns in endoscopic endonasal approaches to the skull base has been the high incidence and morbidity associated with cerebrospinal fluid leaks. The introduction and routine use of vascularized flaps allowed a marked decrease in this complication followed by a gr...
