Meningioma Presenting as Ischemic Stroke: Case Report and Review of Literature

Gopal Raman Sharma, MS, IFAANS, Prakash Paudel, FCPS, Prasanna Karki, MD, PhD, Sumit Joshi, MS, Dambar Bikram Shah, MS1, Babu Ram Pokharel, MD, DM, Bidhan Gyawali, MBBS, MD, Ram Kumar Ghimire, MD, Rajesh Panta, MD and Gopi Aryal, MD

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2023/06/22

Meningioma presenting as ischemic stroke is very rare. We report a case of left medial sphenoid wing meningioma presenting with cerebral infarction due to occlusion of left middle cerebral artery (MCA) in a 36-year-old female. We discuss the incidence, pathophysiology, management and review of literature of intracranial meningioma presenting as ischemic stroke....

Hypernatremia-Induced Ventriculomegaly Simulating Shunt Malfunction

Eleanor Smith, MD and Stacey Q Wolfe, MD

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2023/06/16

Shunt malfunction is a life-threatening cause of altered mental status and ventriculomegaly in patients with shunted hydrocephalus. While shunt malfunction should be highest on the differential for such patients, there may be additional toxic/metabolic derangements that are contributing to their presentation that should not be overlooked. Here we present the case of a 41-year-old woman with shunt dependent hydrocephalus presenting with altered mental status and ventriculomegaly on intracranial i...

Awake Intradural Carotid Artery Occlusion in Two Case of Giant Cavernous Segment Aneurysms, Done for The First Time in Cameroon

Vincent Djientcheu, Haman Nassourou Oumarou, Potho Thazo, Carole Djientcheu, Francis Fezeu and Athanasios K Petridis

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2023/06/12

Vascular neurosurgery has been established through an on-site fellowship programme in Cameroon. With a less technically sophisticated basic equipment, high quality surgeries with good outcomes could still reached. We present two cases of big cavernous-segment aneurysms treated by distal ICA-occlusion in an awake surgery. To our knowledge these are the first awake neurosurgical procedures in Cameroon....

Hemorrhagic Intracranial Neuromuscular Choristoma: Case Report and Literature Review

Rebecca Lynn Calafiore, MD, Dallas J Soyland, BS, Jaclyn Janine White, MD and Stacey Quintero Wolfe, MD

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2023/05/20

Neuromuscular choristoma (NMC) is a rare benign tumor involving nests of myocytes and neural elements that primarily affects peripheral nerves, and much less commonly can present intracranially, involving cranial nerves. It has previously been called a hamartoma or benign triton tumor. Patients typically present in the first two decades of life with cranial nerve palsies and generalized neurologic symptoms....

Microsurgical Management, Endoscopic Review and Intraoperative Video Angiography with Fluorescein in Posterior Circulation Aneurysm

José L Acha, MD, Kenneth A Lopez, MD, Arturo J Ruiz, Piero A Rosas, Giuseppe A Condori, Philip E Terpin and Uriel S Capcha

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2023/05/14

Posterior cerebral artery (ACP) aneurysms account for less than 2% of all aneurysms. The fronto-temporo-zygomatic approach allows access to the cranial base with less parenchymal damage. Endoscopy allows you to visualize deep structures. Fluorescein allows to verify the permeability after clipping....

Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysm Treated with High-Flow Bypass Surgery with Radial Artery Graft

Jose L Acha, MD, Kenneth A Lopez, MD, Arturo J Ruiz, Luis F Tirado and Roody M Cabrejos

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2023/04/29

Extracranial internal carotid carotid aneurysms are rare, surgical treatment is complex if they are at the high cervical level and if the artery is tortuous. We present the case of a patient with an upper cervical internal carotid aneurysm (ICA), treated by high-flow bypass surgery, using a radial artery (RA) graft between the external carotid artery (ACE) and the middle cerebral artery (MCA)....

Combined Biopsy and Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy in Third Ventricular Glioblastoma

Jeyhun Farzullayev, Mazin Omer, Daniel Pielenz, Michael Brodhun, Julian Rathert, Steffen K Rosahl and Ruediger Gerlach

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: March 31, 2023

Glioblastoma is the most common intrinsic brain tumor. Albeit often located adjacent to the ventricular system, intraventricular glioblastomas are rare. We present a case of a third ventricular glioblastoma and discuss effective diagnostic and therapeutic options....

Wrong Use of Oxygenated Water to Preparation the Skin before Surgery

Ali Riazi, Ata Mahdkhah, Navid Askariardehjani and Zhale Kazemi

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: February 27, 2023

Oxygenated water or hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H2 O2 . Oxygenated water is a common oxidant made from a combination of oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygenated water decomposes slowly in the absence of catalysts. This unstable compound decomposes under heat and decomposes into water and oxygen over time. This commercial material is sensitive to light and decomposes rapidly in the presence of light and is therefore stored in dark containers. This compound has antibacterial, ...
