Calcifying pseudoneoplasm of the neuraxis: A rare case involving the oculomotor nerve.

Conclusion: Preoperative diagnosis of CAPNON is difficult due to its rarity and nonspecific clinical and radiological findings. Surgical resection is considered in cases with worsening symptoms, progression on serial imaging, or uncertain diagnosis. Relatively inaccessible lesions with little or no clinical symptoms can be observed. PMID: 32905291 [PubMed]
