Adult traumatic leptomeningeal cyst: case report.
(58/153)
A 60-year-old man presented with a traumatic leptomeningeal cyst manifesting as local tenderness in the right parietal region and local headache 2 years after head injury. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a small arachnoid cyst under bone defect. Dural and bone plasty were performed. Intraoperative examination found small and round defects of the dura and bone. Progressive headache was relieved after the surgery. This rare case of adult posttraumatic leptomeningeal cyst occurred within an unusually short period after trauma, and was associated with a small and round bone defect and small dural defect usually characteristic of congenital arachnoid cyst.

A prospective longitudinal study of growth in twin gestations compared with growth in singleton pregnancies. I. The fetal head.
(60/153)
Since the available data on growth in twin gestations have been derived from retrospective cross-sectional studies with varying results, a prospective longitudinal study was initiated to assess fetal head growth in twin gestations as compared to singleton pregnancies. In uncomplicated twin gestations, growth of the fetal head, based on the increment in growth over time and the rate of growth throughout pregnancy, was found not to be significantly different than in singleton pregnancies. In light of these findings, current nomograms derived from measurements obtained in singleton pregnancies remain useful for evaluating fetal head growth in twin gestations. (+info)
Intradiploic meningioma mimicking calvarial metastasis: case report.
(61/153)
Meningiomas are the most common benign intracranial neoplasms. Nearly 20% of all primary intracranial tumors are meningiomas. Primary intraosseous meningiomas are a subtype of the meningiomas that represents the most uncommon manifestation of meningiomas. Although rare, these tumors can be found to occur in unexpected areas of the head and neck. The patient was a 78- year-old male who was operated two times for urinary bladder cancer. During his routine oncology follow-ups, the PET scan demonstrated a hyperactive area in the right parietal bone. Preoperative diagnosis was a metastasis, but histological examination revealed an osteolytic interosseous meningioma. The possibility of an intraosseous meningioma mimicking a metastatic tumor should be kept in mind. (+info)

Compound elevated skull fracture with occlusion of the superior sagittal sinus. A case report.
(64/153)
This is a case report of compound elevated skull fracture. This is a very rare variant of skull fractures. A CT angiogram demonstrated occlusion in the mid 1/3rd of superior sagittal sinus. Only few cases have been reported before. This patient was managed by the Neurosurgery department of Square Hospitals Ltd. Dhaka who had a history of assault and diagnosed as compound elevated fracture. He was managed surgically and was discharged without any intracranial complication. Etiology, clinical findings and operatives findings had a similarity with other published cases. (+info)
