Summary
This report details a rare case of bilateral trigonal meningiomas in a young male. Surgical excision was successful, with no residual tumor found post-operation.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Pathology
Background:
- Raised intracranial pressure can indicate serious neurological conditions.
- Bilateral trigonal masses are exceptionally rare in neurosurgical literature.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report the first known case of bilateral trigonal meningiomas.
- To describe the diagnostic and surgical management of this rare condition.
Main Methods:
- Clinical presentation of raised intracranial pressure.
- Diagnostic imaging using CT Scan and MRI of the brain.
- Surgical excision via occipitoparietal transventricular approach.
- Histopathological examination for definitive diagnosis.
Main Results:
- Identified mirror-image mass lesions in the trigone of each lateral ventricle.
- Achieved total excision of both meningiomas.
- Confirmed absence of residual tumor on postoperative CT scans.
- Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of meningioma.
Conclusions:
- Bilateral trigonal meningiomas are a rare entity.
- Successful surgical management is achievable.
- This case represents the first documented instance of this condition.

01:28Lateralization
1.1K
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.

5.5K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
7.3K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
