Case Report
Pages: 081-084
This report describes a case of 28-year-old female with direct percutaneous embolization of a carotid body paraganglioma followed by surgical excision of the lesion. Preoperative angiographic embolization of such tumors has reduced intraoperative blood loss significantly and has caused shrinkage in ...
Cerebral radionecrosis is uncommon but important complication of radiation therapy of extracranial and intracranial tumors.In this report we present a case who operated for squamous cell carcinoma of left eyelid and received radiotherapy a total dose of 5250cGy after operation 18 months before admis...
Synovial cysts of the spinal canal are very rare. We report a case in which synovial cyst of a spinal facet joint in the lumbar region caused nerve root compression. The clinical picture of intraspinal synovial cyst can mimic many other conditions, and this lesion should always be included in the di...

Perineural cysts are usual1y asymptomatic and rarely require surgical treatment. This report describes a case that required surgical removal and an innovative method of defect closure. A sacral foraminal perineural cyst was detected incidentally on magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with a symp...
By this case report we will describe an unusual settlement of tenosynovial giant cell tumor. These lesions most often get origin from tenosynovium of the digits, knees or ankles. Rareley they can arise from bigger joints. In our case the patient had a tumor developed from the tendon sheat in the ser...
Aims: To report of a case with Guyon's canal syndrome due to tortuous distal ulnar artery. Although ulnar nerve entrapment has been quite frequently reported due to posttraumatic false aneurysms, thrombosis, or true aneurysms of the distal ulnar artery in Guyon's canal, only one case has been report...

A 44-yr-old male patient was admitted with persistent low back pain of five days duration. Neurological examination and direct x-rays were normal but lumbar spinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed posterior epidural mass at the level of L3 vertebral corpus with peripheral contrast enhancement. Init...

A 9-year-old boy was admitted with a right parietal local swelling and tenderness. Plain X-rays and computerized tomography scan showed an osteolytic lesion at the right parietal cranium and a giant arachnoid cyst at the left temporoparietal region. The lesion was removed, histological examination r...
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is defined as the lymphoma effecting only spinal axis and cranium without systemic symptoms. PCNSL is very rare. Hystologic type of lymphoma that arising in the CNS is most commonly B cell lymphoma. In our study we reported a 47 years old female patien...

Subependymoma is a rare benign tumor of the ventricular system. It was described as a distinct entity by Scheinker in 1945. The fourth ventricle is the most common location. Many cases are asymptomatic and discovered at autopsy. Symptomatic cases often present with hydrocephalus. We present two case...
Original Investigation
Objective: Cranial defects and their optimum reconstructions have been a deal in neurosurgical practice. In the recent time, we used porous polyethylene implants for cranioplasty to provide better cosmetic, surgical and long-term safety results.
Material and method: Porous polyethylene implants (M...
