Multiple tumours of the CNS are relatively rare and almost half are accompanied by Von Recklinghausen's disease.
In this report two cases of multiple tumours of the CNS without Von Recklinghausen's disease are presented. Case 1 had five CNS tumours (two intracranial meningiomas at different sites, ...
The association of a metastatic carcinoma with a cerebral vascular malformation is presented. Although metastases into slow growing, vascular intracranial tumors are occasionally reported, this association does not seem to be reported previously. This case supports the hypothesis that distribution o...

We report a case of a ruptured saccular aneurysm of the distal posterior cerebral artery (P3). The aneurysm was successfuly clipped through an occtpital interhemispheric approach and the patient was discharged without any neurological deficit. Aneurysms in this location are rarely encountered and th...
A complication of treatment of a carotid-cavernous fistula by detachable balloon technique is presented.

Intrasellar meningioma is a rare disease which is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. We describe an interesting case of intrasellar meningioma in a 39-year-old woman who presented with amenorrhea, galactorrhea and severe headaches for six months. An intrasellar mass was demonstrated by computed t...
A rare tumour occurring in the cerebellar midline and consisting of a mixture of medulloblastoma and mature and immature striated muscle is usually referred to as "medullomyoblastoma". The origin and nature of medullomyoblastoma are controversial. In this report, we describe the histological, and im...
