Menigioma arising from the orbit is uncommonly encountered. Ectopic(extradural) meningiomas are exceedingly rare orbital tumors that do not originate from either the optic nerve or the intracranial meninges. We present a case of probable primary ectopic(extradural) orbital meningioma that was successfully treated with a complete surgical excision.

PURPOSE: A meningoencephalocele is a congenital malformation involving herniation of the meninges and cerebral tissue through a defect in the skull. For the patient with frontoethmoidal meningoencephalocele with hypertelorism, the removal of the meningoencephalocele without correction of the combined hypertelorism is not enough for getting a good cosmetic appearance. Correction of the hypertelorism is needed for cosmetic problem. We experienced a case of simultaneous correction of frontoethmoidal meningoencephalocele with hypertelorism. METHODS: The meningoencephalocele was removed and the hypertelorism was corrected by central segment technique. The bone defects were filled with autogenous bone dusts. And the nose was reconstructed by a calvarial bone graft. RESULTS: The patient had a good cosmetic appearance without any neurological complications without serious complications. CONCLUSION: We experienced a case of simultaneous correction of frontoethmoidal meningoencephalocele with hypertelorism. And a brief review of related literatures is given.

Meningiomas are common intracranial tumors arising from the arachnoid cells of the meninges, but the neurosurgical frequency of multiple intracranial meningiomas is low ; the pathogenesis of multiple meningioma is still unknown. The authors report sixth cases of multiple intracranial meningiomas, representing 3.3% of all meningiomas surgically removed at our hospital during the past ten years. Four cases were female. In four cases the meningiomas affected one hemisphere, and 62% were located in the convexity. All tumors were removed in one stage and except in case 5, there has been no recurrence. In this report, we present precise descriptions of cases 3 and 5.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a benign mesenchymal neoplasm of a spindle-cell origin, and it usually involves the pleura. It's occurrence in various organs of the body has recently been described. Meningeal SFT is very rare. Radiologically, it is a strongly enhancing solid mass and is undistinguishable from fibrous meningioma and hemangiopericytoma. Yet we report here on a case of SFT with massive cystic degeneration that arose from the meninges of the left occipital region.

The anatomy and clinical significance of the sinuvertebral nerve is a topic of considerable interest among anatomists and clinicians, particularly its role in discogenic pain. It has required decades of research to appreciate its role, but not until recently could these studies be compiled to establish a more complete description of its clinical significance. The sinuvertebral nerve is a recurrent nerve that originates from the ventral ramus, re-entering the spinal canal via the intervertebral foramina to innervate multiple meningeal and non-meningeal structures. Its complex anatomy and relationship to discogenic pain have warranted great interest among clinical anatomists owing to its sympathetic contribution to the lumbar spine. Knowledge of the nerve has been used to design a variety of diagnostic and treatment procedures for chronic discogenic pain. This paper reviews the anatomy and clinical aspects of the sinuvertebral nerve.

Intrathoracic meningocele is a protrusion of the spinal meninges through an intervertebral foramen into thethoracic cavity. The majority occur in association with neurofibromatosis. The authors experienced a case ofintrathoracic meningocele in 26 years old male patient associated with neurofibromatosis, and present conventional CT and CT metrizamide myelographic findings.

Because melanocytes are found throughout the leptomeninges, primary melanotic pigmented tumors such as pigmented meningioma, malignant melanoma, melanoblastosis, and melanocytoma can arise from this region. Melanocytomas have been described in the literature as isodense or hyperdense compared with brain parenchyme, as seen on noncontrast-enhanced CT, and as showing relatively homogeneous enhancement. MR imaging demonstrates a high signal on T1-weighted images, and an iso to hypointense signal on T2- weighted images. We report the imaging findings of a melanocytoma that showed hyperdense attenuation on precontrast CT with homogeneous enhancement and hyperintense signal intensity on T1-weighted images and dark signal intensity enhancement on T2-weighted images, and also review the literature.

Intracranial lipoma is a rare tumor. It is considered as congenital malformation, caused by poor differentiation and abnormal persistence of the primitive meninges. More frequently intracranial lipomas are central and located in the midline especially in corpus callosum. We report the two cases of intracranial lipoma, one case was detected in cerebellum by antenatal sonography and the other one was detected in right temporal cistern by cranial sonography during the postnatal follow-up.

Meningeal sarcoma is rare and its clinical course tends to be short. It is a malignant neoplasm arising from connective tissue elements present in meninges. We have experienced a case of 4 years old female patient with headache, palpable mass on left parieto-occipital area. The operation revealed entirely extradurally located, firm, vascular tumor and almost total excision was done. It was histopathologically diagnosed meningeal sarcoma but indisinguishable from malignant meningioma.

In cases of meningoencephalocele, brain tissue, which is enveloped by the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid, herniates through the skull defect. Atretic cephalocele, on the other hand, is a congenital malformation in which small meningeal and vestigial glial tissue herniates through this defect; a benign nodular lesion is found near the midline of the scalp. Atretic cephalocele can occur in the parietal or occipital area; in cases involving the latter, the prognosis is poor. We report the radiologic findings of two cases of atretic cephalocele confirmed by surgery and pathologic findings.
