Introduction. Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a rare inflammatory disease that results in thickening of the dura mater. Atypically, it can progress to include the involvement of the cerebral parenchyma. Method. In this paper, we report the rare case of a 31-year-old man with a three-week history of headaches, seizures, impairments of cognitive function, and changes in behavior and mood. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed a thickening and an abnormal enhancement of the dura mater over the falx cerebri with extensions into the adjacent cranial base and with brain edemas in the frontal lobes. Histopathological study of meningeal and brain biopsies showed an inflammatory process that was compatible with HP. The results of an extensive laboratory investigation were unremarkable and did not provide additional information on the cause of the meningeal disease. The patient exhibited relapses despite immunosuppressive therapy. Conclusion. This case shows the challenges associated with the management of the disease and the importance of early diagnosis to avoid worsening of the condition and cerebral damage.

✓ The authors describe a 37-year-old man with the classic clinical features of Hand-Schüller-Christian disease. He presented with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure due to obstructive hydrocephalus secondary to a huge xanthogranuloma involving falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli. Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies failed to demonstrate Langerhans histiocytes, however. The implication of this finding is discussed in light of the recent relevant literature.

AbstractGiant pericallosal artery aneurysms are extremely rare. Aneurismatic lesions involving this artery are usually small, tend to early bleeding and might be associated with other lesions. Differential diagnosis of giant aneurysms are not easy and includes tumoral, infectious and vascular mass effect lesions. We report a case of a giant and partially thrombosed left pericallosal artery aneurysm. A 58-year-old man, presented with progressive headaches, seizures and speech alterations initially misdiagnosed as a falx cerebri meningioma. As clinical status continue to worsen, magnetic resonance imaging and digital cerebral angiography were performed and a vascular etiology was considered. The patient was then referred to our hospital for surgical treatment. The peculiarity of this case concerns the difficulty of surgical treatment once the surgeon was not able to obtain control of the afferent artery and the aneurysm neck could not be visualized. Also, the aneurysm adhered to the medial surfaces of the frontal lobes and covered the anterior cerebral arteries. Treatment by means of microsurgical thrombectomy, clipping and resection of the lesion was successfully performed. Microsurgical treatment may provide good results when carefully planned with the help of imaging studies of the lesion. It is essential to keep in mind that flexible approach is of great importance when dealing with giant aneurysmatic lesions of pericallosal artery due to its variety of intraoperative presentation.

✓ A patient is described who had a solitary left frontal intracranial chondroma originating from the falx cerebri. The tumor was totally removed. The diagnostic value of computerized tomography and the surgical findings in this rare pathological condition are discussed.
