Penetrating intracranial foreign bodies in children.

Four cases illustrating low-velocity penetrating injuries from foreign bodies are presented. The importance of formal intracranial exposure is emphasized. When used in these four cases, all patients had good recoveries. In children, penetration of the brain is likely because of the fragility of the orbital roof. The English-language literature on penetrating intracranial foreign bodies is also reviewed.

Intracanalicular meningioma with chronic optic disc edema.

A patient with an intracanalicular meningioma is presented who had the clinical symptoms and signs of optic papillitis. All neuroradiologic examinations except for hypocycloidal polytomography of the optic canals were normal. Orbital pain, progressive decreasing visual acuity, visual fields showing an enlarging scotoma, and a failure to respond to steroid therapy or worsening of symptoms upon steroid withdrawal should alert the clinician to this diagnostic possibility despite normal radiographic studies.
