Abstract

Insights

This is the first reported case of a pediatric intraventricular microcystic meningioma. This rare tumor required total resection and contributes valuable data to medical literature.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pediatric neurosurgery
  • Neuropathology

Background:

  • Microcystic meningiomas are rare extra-axial tumors, seldom observed in children.
  • Intraventricular meningiomas are also infrequently encountered, particularly in pediatric patients.

Observation:

  • An 18-year-old male presented with an intraventricular mass initially detected via MRI at age 12.
  • The mass demonstrated growth over a 6-year period following subtotal resection.

Findings:

  • Complete resection of the intraventricular mass was achieved.
  • Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of microcystic meningioma.

Implications:

  • This case represents the first documented instance of a pediatric intraventricular microcystic meningioma.
  • The unique radiological, pathological, and clinical features of this case offer significant contributions to the existing medical literature and understanding of rare pediatric brain tumors.

Viral Meningitis

Viral meningitis is the most common form of meningitis and is often referred to as aseptic meningitis to indicate the absence of bacterial involvement. It is generally milder than bacterial meningitis, with symptoms including fever, headache, stiff neck, drowsiness, nausea, photophobia, and vomiting. Rarely, more severe manifestations or death may occur. Common causative agents include enteroviruses, particularly coxsackie A and B viruses and echoviruses, all members of the Enterovirus genus...

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,...
