Summary

Intradural osteomas, rare bone tumors in the brain's subdural or subarachnoid spaces, require surgery and pathological examination for diagnosis. Craniotomy offers a safe and effective treatment for these challenging intracranial lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuropathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Intradural osteomas are rare bone tumors occurring within the subdural or subarachnoid spaces, lacking specific clinical and imaging diagnostic criteria.
  • The pathogenesis of osteomas not associated with skull structures remains poorly understood.
  • Current diagnostic and treatment strategies for intradural osteomas lack consensus.

Observation:

  • Two cases of intradural osteomas are presented: one in the subdural space (left frontal area) and another in the subarachnoid space (sylvian fissure).
  • The first patient presented with intermittent headache and dizziness, while the second had an intracranial high-density lesion.
  • Both tumors were intraoperatively identified as bony hard masses attached to or within the dura mater and arachnoid layers, compressing adjacent brain tissue.

Findings:

  • Pathological examination confirmed both lesions as osteomas.
  • Surgical intervention and subsequent histopathological analysis are essential for definitive diagnosis.
  • Craniotomy was performed for both patients, confirming the diagnosis and enabling tumor removal.

Implications:

  • Craniotomy is established as a safe and effective surgical treatment for intradural osteomas.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on surgical exploration and pathological confirmation.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis of these rare intracranial tumors is warranted.
