Abstract Wasting of muscle is usually a feature of lower motor neuron pathology, astonishingly parasagittal intracranial lesion affecting parietal lobe of cerebral hemisphere may be associated with Wasting of contralateral calf muscle. It can be associated with spastic foot drop. Foot drop is a common neurological state presenting with weakness involving anterior tibialis muscle causing inability of foot extension. Foot drop is commonly caused lower motor neuron disease pathology and a common cause includes L4-L5 radiculopathy or peroneal peripheral neuropathy. However, extremely rarely can be caused by intracranial pathology e.g. falcine meningioma and represents an important localization sign. Authors report an interesting case of calf muscle wasting caused by falcine meningioma, which may escape detection to remind rare but extremely important neurological localizing sign and ask for through and further neurological evaluation prior to concluding a final neurological diagnosis.

Falcine Meningioma

✓ Nontraumatic adrenal hemorrhage in adults is uncommon and unexpected in the context of intracranial surgery. The authors report on a patient in whom hemodynamically relevant retroperitoneal bleeding developed within hours after an otherwise uneventful operation for a falcine meningioma. In this brief report they seek to draw attention to this rare but life-threatening complication, because rapid diagnosis can be life-saving.

Angiographic demonstration of the meningeal branch of the posterior cerebral artery, or the artery of Davidoff and Schechter, is extremely rare. The authors describe a case of successful selective catheterization and embolization of a pathologically enlarged artery of Davidoff and Schechter, permitting successful preoperative devascularization of a large falcine meningioma.

Falcine Meningioma

Telehealth utilizes information technologies and communication networks to deliver healthcare and education with lower costs and improved access, quality, and efficiency of healthcare services.  This report describes the application of telehealth for medical screening, clinical decision making, and medical referral in a physical therapy practice. The patient described was a 50-year old man who contacted his physical therapist via telephone for a chief complaint of worsening left sided numbness and tingling that began insidiously 2 days prior.  Further questioning revealed that the patient also complained of left ankle weakness, and slight unsteadiness with walking. He had not been feeling well and had been experiencing increasing bouts of unexplained fatigue over the previous two months that were now interfering with his work and recreational activities. The patient was evaluated by his physician the next day.  Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a large (4 cm) falcine meningioma in the right parietal region.  The patient was immediately referred to a neurosurgeon and underwent a craniotomy and tumor resection ten days later and subsequent gamma knife radiosurgery of the residual tumor bed two months after craniotomy and tumor resection.  Follow-up imaging one year later revealed no evidence of recurrence or residual tumor.  This patient case underscores the importance of recognizing signs and symptoms of serious disease, and how referral following telehealth via telephone can inform diagnosis.
