..This interesting and illustrative case is discussed with the relevant literature...

..To investigate the effects of citicoline on experimental spinal cord injury (SCI)...

..They are difficult to diagnose preoperatively and pathologically. We present two cases of primary cerebral neuroblastoma...

..However, until 2003, only a few cases of primary fibroxanthoma have been reported. We report a giant fibroxanthoma destroying the lateral skull base unaccompanied by a systemic or metabolic disease...

....

..We concluded that microcysts and necrosis are important in the occurrence of intratumoral haemorrhage in meningiomas...

..A MRI revealed a large suprasellar mass. Histopathological examination demonstrated a pilocytic astrocytoma. Its astrocytic nature was confirmed by positive immunostaining for GFAP and the findings of an electron microscopy...

..Angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosis and determination of specific anatomical details, which are necessary to plan treatment...

..We describe such a case and correlate the MRI findings with the histopathology...

..Until now 17 intracranial clear cell meningioma cases had been reported in the English language literature. We present 2 new cases of clear cell meningioma which is discussed with the relevant literature...

..Proposed mechanisms of spontaneous thrombosis include slow flow shunts, obstruction of the venous outflow or obstruction of the feeding artery. The case is discussed with the relevant literature...

..CONCLUSIONS: Chronic EICH in infants is extremely rare in the literature. Only two cases have been previously reported. One of the cases reported in the literature was supratentorial and the other was infratentorial...

..We report two cases in which embolization coils partially migrated into the parent artery during endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysm and were retrieved using the Amplatz Nitinol microsnare...

..This complication emphasises the importance of careful surgical technique and a thorough knowledge of regional anatomy, during DCR and similar procedures...

..Other congenital abnormalities were absent. The cyst was subtotally removed and the patient recovered well. Pathological examination revealed that the lesion was a typical enterogenous cyst...

..Replacement of the calcified and perished shunt components with a new shunt is essential. Aggressive surgical manipulation for removal of the remaining shunt components is not advisable as this may increase morbidity and mortality...

..It is hard to achieve normotension unless the narrowed aorta and its branches are dilated. For these reasons, MAS should be considered in patients with medically intractable hypertension associated with ruptured intracranial aneurysm...

..We report a rare case of uterine leiomyosarcoma metastatic to the temporalis muscle, proven by histopathology...

..CONCLUSIONS: Early surgery should be the first choice of therapy in patients with large posteriorly migrated sequestered disc fragments, to prevent severe neurologic deficits such as cauda equina and conus medullaris syndromes...

..We concluded that ATP-MgCl2 may be used in the treatment of spinal cord injuries in conjunction with the other treatment modalities, but further investigations are mandatory...
