Intraosseous calvarial meningioma of the skull presenting as a solitary osteolytic skull lesion: case report and review of the literature.

Intraosseous calvarial meningiomas, defined as meningiomas confined to the skull with no epidural or subcutaneous component, are rare and usually exhibit osteoblastic activity. We present a case of a primary intraosseous meningioma in the right frontal bone that presented radiologically as a solitary lytic skull lesion and was completely excised. The lesion was benign without recurrence for 1 1/2 years. According to our review of the literature, our case is the first with documentation on computed tomography. In cases of solitary osteolytic skull lesions, meningioma should be considered even though it may not seem likely, because management will be directed to radical excision with good prognosis rather than biopsy.

Acoustic schwannoma presenting as acute posterior fossa hematoma: case report and review of the literature.

Acoustic schwannomas usually present with gradually progressive unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. As the tumor enlarges, symptoms and signs develop when the adjacent cranial nerves, cerebelhim, and/or brainstem become compressed. Rarely, acoustic tumors present with acute subarachnoid or intratumoral hemorrhage. Of the 12 cases of acoustic schwannoma with tumoral hemorrhage presented in the literature of which we are aware, this is the third such case of a patient presenting with spontaneous pure intratumoral hemorrhage and the first such case presenting with sudden multiple cranial nerve palsies, The purpose of this report is to increase the awareness of this rare form of presentation of acoustic schwannoma in the hope of achieving better preservation of cranial nerves.
