Myopericytoma of the posterior cranial fossa

British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2014
Myopericytoma is a soft tissue tumour believed to be derived from perivascular myoid cells. They are typically found in subcutaneous tissues in the extremities. Intracranial myopericytomas are exceptionally rare. Here we report a man with an asymptomatic posterior fossa myopericytoma with evidence of dural infiltration.

Meningiomas of the Posterior Cranial Fossa

Radiology, 1958
ME NINGIOMAS of the posterior cranial fossa are difficult to diagnose but, when detected, are often amenable to surgical removal. The clinical, roentgen, and surgical features of these lesions have been ably described in the comprehensive treatise by Castellano and Ruggiero in 1953 (5) and in other reports (4, 6-8, 1518,21,26,34,39- 42).

Epidural Hematomas of the Posterior Cranial Fossa

Neurosurgery, 1981
Abstract We report eight cases of epidural hematoma of the posterior cranial fossa. The main symptoms and neurological signs are reviewed. The value of computed tomographic scanning in determining a definite diagnosis and in improving the morbidity and mortality rates of such a lesion is emphasized.

Extradural hematoma of the posterior cranial fossa

Neurosurgical Review, 1998
Fourteen cases of an extradural hematoma of the posterior fossa (EDHPF), are presented and the clinical and radiological finds are described. The onset of symptoms was acute in 10 patients and subacute in the other 4. Hematomas occurred in the younger age groups with a clear male predominance. Nine cases had suffered a blow to the head.

EPIDURAL HEMATOMAS IN THE POSTERIOR CRANIAL FOSSA

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1993
A review of 89 cases of posterior fossa epidural hematoma (PFEDH) is presented. The mortality rate was 17.9%. In 44 cases (49.4%) there were associated intracranial hematomas. In 30 cases the hematoma was localized within the boundary of the foramen magnum and the transverse and sigmoid sinuses ("pure" PFEDH).

Posterior cranial fossa tumours in childhood

Neuroradiology, 1993
We reviewed clinical and CT findings in 133 posterior cranial fossa tumours in children. All had histological diagnosis, apart from 20 cases of brain stem glioma. The majority were intra-axial tumours, including 53 medulloblastomas (40%), 31 cerebellar astrocytomas (23%), 28 brain stem gliomas (21%), 14 ependymomas (11%), and single cases of ...

Ectopic cerebellum in the posterior cranial fossa

Pediatric Radiology, 2012
Isolated, well-differentiated ectopic cerebellar tissue is extremely rare, with only eight cases in the literature. We describe a unique case of histopathologically proven ectopic cerebellar tissue presenting as a discrete extra-axial mass in the posterior cranial fossa.

Management of Posterior Cranial Fossa Meningiomas

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1995
Posterior cranial fossa meningiomas are relatively common extra-axial tumors with important relationships to the cochleovestibular system, facial nerve, and/or cranial base. Nevertheless, objective reporting of auditory and vestibular function is rare for this patient population, and a full discussion of the nonsurgical management is all but totally ...

Extradural haematoma of posterior cranial fossa.

Journal of neurosurgical sciences, 1993
Two cases of extradural haematoma of posterior fossa with an acute course are reported. After trauma, the two patients did not show any symptom for a time of 16 and 18 hours respectively. Both of them showed a status of coma at the moment of hospitalization. The haematoma was diagnosed by CT scan.

TUMORS OF THE POSTERIOR CRANIAL FOSSA

Archives of Neurology & Psychiatry, 1928
In unilateral expanding lesions above the tentorium, increase in the tendon reflexes is usually greater on the side of the body opposite to that of the lesion; this is readily explained. In infratentorial new growths, there are many variations in the tendon reflexes on the two sides; in some instances, the reflexes are unchanged; in others, all tendon
