A 28-year-old woman was presented with an 1-year history of headache, double vision and left hand and foot paresthesia. Clinical and CT findings were evaluated malignant. During the operation a solid mass attached to the falx cerebri was found. Pathological examination showed a chondroma with large
Maffucci's syndrome is a rare congenital, nonhereditary mesodermal dysplasia characterized by soft tissue hemangiomas and multiple enchondromas. A 52 years old man was diagnosised as Maffucci's syndrome in his childhood. He complained of mild paraesthesia which gradually progressed to intolerable
Intracranial chondromas are rare benign tumors. Little data are available on the diagnosis and treatment of these tumors. Thus, we aimed to describe a large series of patients with intracranial chondroma and to analyze and discuss the clinical features and microsurgical treatment of these patients.
BACKGROUND
A main problem in the preoperative planning for precentral tumors is the exact assessment of the spatial relationship between the tumor and the functionally relevant brain areas, which may be difficult using only morphologically oriented imaging (CT, MRI). Therefore, we applied motor
Chondromas and chondrosarcomas of the cranial base are rare neoplastic diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnosis and microsurgical treatment of these difficult cranial base tumors. A total of 19 patients who underwent microsurgery were pathologically diagnosed with cranial
Intracranial chondroma is a rare benign cartilaginous tumour with an incidence of less than 1% of all primary intracranial tumours. The authors are reporting here a case of intracranial chondroma in a 40-year-old man who presented with 5-month history of headache and gradual diminution of vision. A
The case of a 19-year-old female patient with a history of severe headache for several months is presented. Computed tomography (CT) as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intracranial, space-occupying mass with no meningeal attachment, located in the left frontal lobe. The entire
Chondroma is a benign tumor of mature hyaline cartilage that is often found in the long bones and may be rarely diagnosed in other parts of the body. Here, we present a young patient with the definitive diagnosis of intra-axial intracranial chondroma and without dural connection. The presenting
Chondromas are benign tumors which mostly occur in extremities but also sometimes in the cranium. Intracerebral chondroma is rare condition. Most intracranial chondromas arise from skull base, but chondroma of falx origin is a rare entity and mostly occurs in relation with syndromic disorders such
We are reporting a case of manic depressive illness in a patient with a falxial chondroma in the right parietal region. Neurological symptoms were absent except for right hemicranial headache and examination was normal, prior to the presentation with mania. The mania responded to psychotropics.
BACKGROUND
Cartilaginous tumors of the mid-face and the skull base are rare.
METHODS
For the first time, a case report of a chondroma of the base of the ear in a 56-year-old woman is presented. In 1974 the patient developed a facial nerve paralysis while she was pregnant. Twenty-two years later the
An 18-year-old male presented with a chondroma in the petrous apex manifesting as major complaints of headaches and sensorineural hearing disturbance on the right. Head computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a neoplastic lesion in the right petrous apex, which had bulged to
Intracranial chondroma is a rare benign tumor comprising only 0.2% of all intracranial tumors. A 27-year-old woman presented with visual dysfunction and headache. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a suprasellar mass lesion with a calcified component. Gross total
BACKGROUND
Cartilaginous tumors of the head and neck are rare. The most frequent site is larynx and spheno-ethmoidal area. Chondroma of the nasal septum is very rare. Since its first description in the literature in 1842, only about 140 cases have been reported. The symptoms of nasal septum
