Symptomatic infratentorial ependymal cyst arising from the medulla: a case report with review of literature
CONCLUSION: Due to their rarity and potential similarity to other cystic structures, EC may be overlooked or incorrectly diagnosed resulting in mismanagement and surgical disaster. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding and awareness of their distinct characteristics are essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.PMID:38547561 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2024.101553 (Source: Neurochirurgie)

Does long segment subarachnoido-subarachnoid shunt prevent posttraumatic and postinfectious spinal arachnoid cyst recurrence?: technical note and case series
Neurochirurgie. 2024 Mar 22;70(4):101555. doi: 10.1016/j.neuchi.2024.101555. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSyringomyelia associated with extensive spinal adhesive arachnoiditis (SAA) can be defined as a rare but progressive disease with potentially devastating clinical consequences. Diagnosis can be challenging due to the absence of specific clinical findings, confusion with other pathologies, and late imaging modalities. The treatment strategy for syringomyelia associated with extensive SAA should include direct drainage of the syringomyelia, and dissection of the adhesive arachnoid with expansive duraplasty. Hence, sever...

Case report of a primary ectopic extradural and extraspinal meningioma of the brachial plexus
We present a unique case of this type of meningioma in the brachial plexus. A 25-year-old man consulted us because of neuropathic supraclavicular pain and the appearance of a supraclavicular mass whose volume had increased. Clinical examination found paresis of the deltoid, biceps brachii and brachialis muscles rated as M4 (MRC) and a strong Tinel sign at the supraclavicular fossa, over the palpable mass. There was no sign pointing towards central nervous system involvement or altered general condition. MRI revealed a mass measuring 53 × 24 mm invading the C5-C6 plexus roots and the primary upper trunk, but not the bone o...
