It incidence varies around 0.15% - 0.18% in the development world to 5% - 30% of intracranial masses in some under developments areas. These tuberculomas, of course ubiquitous, are mostly diagnosed in the adulthood and usually located in the cerebellum and the cerebral hemispheres. Intra ventricular involving is uncommon and just 10 cases had been described in the literature. We report a case of an intraventricular tuberculoma in a 26- year-old man and we discuss the pathogenesis and the radiological findings according this location.展开更多

They count approximately less than 1% of all intracranial neoplasms and are believed to arise from ectopic cell rests incorporated in the closing neural tube. These dermoid cysts, especially those involving the posterior fossa and overlying the torcular, are uncommon. We report perhaps the first case of this entity in a third-year-old boy and discuss the physiopathogenesis, the imaging features and the best technical note to manage this cyst in this location.展开更多

The calcified cerebral hydatid cyst is even more exceptional, we report a case collected in our service to illustrate the difficulties of diagnosis and the management. We will not discuss the outcome. Case Report: We reported a 22-year-old female which presented to right body, seizures of the type Bravais Jackson with facial participation, headache, dizziness, pre-critical and post critical seizures evolving over a month, and subsequently followed by a heaviness of the right hemi-body responsible for mowing when walking. She was hospitalized for management after performing a CT scan and brain MRI. The surgical treatment consisted of a left parietal flap with a complete excision of a process whose macroscopic appearance first evoked a calcified hydatid cyst confirmed by histology. Conclusion: The cerebral calcified hydatid cyst remains an exceptional pathology with some difficulties in diagnosis and management.展开更多
