Insights

This study details a rare Grade III Papillary Meningioma (PM) case in a young adult. Complete surgical resection led to a favorable four-year outcome with no recurrence, highlighting effective management for this aggressive tumor.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuropathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Papillary meningioma (PM) is a rare, aggressive intracranial tumor.
  • Management of PM is challenging due to its behavior.
  • Accurate diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of a young adult with a Grade III Papillary Meningioma.
  • To illustrate the diagnostic and management pathway for this rare tumor.
  • To present the long-term follow-up results after surgical resection.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a 21-year-old male with neurological symptoms.
  • Diagnostic imaging including CT and MRI to identify the intracranial mass.
  • Surgical resection followed by histopathological analysis for definitive diagnosis (WHO Grade III).

Main Results:

  • A high-density mass was identified in the left jugular foramen area.
  • Complete surgical resection was achieved with no immediate complications.
  • Histopathology confirmed Grade III Papillary Meningioma.
  • Four-year follow-up showed no evidence of tumor recurrence or transformation.

Conclusions:

  • Complete surgical resection is an effective treatment for Grade III Papillary Meningioma.
  • Long-term surveillance is important for patients with this rare tumor.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention can lead to favorable outcomes.

Bacterial Meningitis01:24

Bacterial Meningitis

Bacterial meningitis is a severe infectious disease involving inflammation of the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when pathogenic bacteria cross the blood–brain barrier and enter the cerebrospinal fluid. Common causative organisms include Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli K1. The exact route of entry varies by pathogen and host condition.Routes of Entry...
Cryptococcal Meningitis01:27

Cryptococcal Meningitis

Cryptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening opportunistic infection predominantly associated with HIV/AIDS, accounting for over 100,000 deaths annually worldwide. However, it also affects individuals with other forms of immunosuppression, including those undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, organ transplant recipients, patients with innate immunodeficiencies, and individuals with hematological disorders. The infection is caused mainly by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii,...
Bacterial Meningitis I: Introduction01:22

Bacterial Meningitis I: Introduction

Bacterial meningitis is a severe, life-threatening inflammation of the meninges, particularly the pia mater and arachnoid mater, affecting the subarachnoid space, ventricles, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). If untreated, it can lead to significant neurological complications or death.Causative AgentsCommon pathogens vary with age and immune status. In adults, major organisms include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae. Streptococcus agalactiae (group B...
Brain Abscess l: Introduction01:26

Brain Abscess l: Introduction

A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection characterized by a localized collection of pus within the brain parenchyma, resulting from microbial invasion and the body’s inflammatory response. It progresses through stages: early and late cerebritis, followed by early and late capsule formation, reflecting tissue destruction, immune response, and eventual encapsulation.Etiology and PathogenesisCausative organisms vary with source and host factors, often involving polymicrobial infections,...
