Pediatric Giant Cerebral < b > < i > Candida < /i > < /b > Abscess: A Case Report
Fungal infections of the central nervous system and pediatric brain abscess are rare but serious conditions in terms of morbidity and mortality that need immediate diagnosis and treatment. It can be seen in congenital or acquired immunosuppressed patients as opportunistic infections as well as in low-birth-weight, premature infants with ventriculoperitoneal shunt, external ventricular drainage, or with a history of craniotomy.

Sylvian Fissure Meningioma in Childhood: Report of 3 Cases and Review of the Literature
Conclusion: We report 3 very rare cases of Sylvian arachnoid-based meningiomas. To our knowledge, this is the study with the longest follow-up period (mean 7.3 years, median 7 years). Even though the overall prognosis of pediatric meningiomas may be worse than that of adult illness, we would like to emphasize that the “rare location” of the Sylvian fissure was not an important factor contributing to the outcome in our children.Pediatr Neurosurg (Source: Pediatric Neurosurgery)
