    Metastatic infiltration of the dental pulp by medulloblastoma (2002)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science, Ltd

    Notes: Medulloblastoma is an infratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumour. It is the most commonly occurring brain tumour of childhood, accounting for 15–20% of all paediatric tumours. Extracranial metastasis is rare, but may involve the skeleton. Jaw lesions, however, have never been described. A case is reported of metastases of a medulloblastoma to the jaw including the dental pulp.

    Notes: Summary With the wider availability of magnetic resonance imaging cavernous malformations are being recognised with increasing frequency in those patients presenting with intractable epilepsy. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice. However, because these lesions are usually small and may be located in eloquent areas stereotactic resection should be considered. Stereotactically-guided resection of pathologically verified cavernous angiograms was performed in 10 patients in this series presenting with epilepsy (8 males, 2 females, mean age 32 years). Eight patients presented with medically intractable epilepsy (5 complex partial seizures, 3 grand mal seizures). Of the remaining patients one experienced multiple episodes of haemorrhage and the other headaches (with a non-diagnostic scan) both in association with epilepsy. Pre-operative localisation of the motor strip was determined in one case by functional MRI. Following resection of these lesions all patients experienced improved seizure control with a mean follow-up period of 22 months. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 5.1 days with no surgical complications recorded. We conclude that stereotactically-guided resection offers significant advantages in the management of cavernous malformations. Surgical indications for operative resection would include medically refractory epilepsy, repeated haemorrhage and those cases where there is diagnostic uncertainty.

    “Dural tail” adjacent to a giant posterior cerebral artery aneurysm: case report and review of the literature (1997)

    Notes: Abstract The “dural tail” sign on gadolinium (Gd-DTPA)-enhanced MRI has been described in association with meningiomas. Various series with histopathological correlation have shown that in some cases there is tumour invasion into the dura mater, but in the majority of cases it represents a hypervascular, non-neoplastic reaction. While this sign was originally thought to be specific for meningioma, subsequent case reports have described the presence of a dural tail in other intra- and extra-axial lesions. We present a patient with a giant aneurysm arising from the P2 segment of the right posterior cerebral artery, adjacent to the tentorium, with a prominent dural tail on Gd-DTPA-enhanced MRI. In this location, differentiation of an aneurysm from a meningioma was critical.
