Ictal crying is a rare type of epileptic seizure associated with hypothalamic hamartoma and with other lesions such as tumours, vascular malformations, hippocampal sclerosis, or cerebral infarction. We describe the case of an infant with gelastic, dacrystic and other types of seizures associated

A 1-year old girl having a giant pigmented nevus over trunk and widespread smaller pigmented nevi presented with focal motor seizures. This combination of features is rate.

Ependymomas account for 3 to 9% of all neuroepithelial tumors and, although occurring most often within the ventricular system, they may arise from the extraventricular parenchyma as well. Several histologic patterns of these neoplasm are well known, but little attention has been devoted to a

Intracranial neurenteric cysts are rare congenital lesions that may be mistaken for other cystic neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions. A 35 years old right handed man presented with a one year history of progressive left hemiparesis, headache, personality changes and seizures. Clinical examination

The percentage of aneurysms measuring more than 2'5 cm in diameter ranges from 3 to 13%, and occur more commonly in females. They come to clinical attention later than nongiant aneurysms, but 20% of them appear in patients 20 years of age or younger. Its natural history is incompletely understood.

Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGCA) is a benign, slow-growing glial tumor that manifests with signs and symptoms of obstructive hydrocephalus most often in adolescent patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Neonatal highly aggressive SEGCA is very rare. We report a 5-month-old child

First reported in 1972 by Berg & colleagues, giant axonal neuropathy is a generalized disorder of cytoplasmic intermediate filaments affecting the nervous system particularly. The condition was originally thought to be a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, but clinical and pathological

BACKGROUND Females with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have higher prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which can lead to the development of warts. Herein we report the first case of giant disseminated condylomatosis (GDC) in a SLE female on mycophenolate mofetil

Giant aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery (AComA) are rare. The clinical presentation of giant AComA aneurysms is usually associated with the mass effect of the space-occupying lesion or with subarachnoid haemorrhage. A giant AComA aneurysm presenting with a seizure has only been reported

Cavernous haemangiomas are benign vascular lesions of the central nervous system. Their size varies from a few millimetres to several centimetres. Giant and paediatric cases are rare. This report presents a 10-month-old baby with a giant multilobular cavernous haemangioma in the left parietal lobe

Glioblastoma multiforme (GM) of the cerebellum is a rare tumour. A variant of GM, a multifocal giant cell glioblastoma, initially presenting in the cerebellum, has not previously been reported. A giant cell glioblastoma occurring in a 46-year-old man who presented initially with a cerebellar tumour

Cavernous angiomas or hemangiomas or cavernomas are benign, vascular malformations of the central nervous system and classified as occult vascular brain lesions, usually present in adulthood. With the advent of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, these lesions are increasingly
