Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a rare disease that must be differentiated from trigeminal neuralgia. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of anatomy, pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, and several options of treatment for GPN. Lessons learned through our experience of treating GPN are presented in detail, as well as cases of misdiagnosis and diagnostic pitfalls. Microvascular decompression (MVD) should be primarily considered for medically intractable GPN. Techniques employed in MVD for GPN are categorized and described. Especially, we underscore the advantages of the ‘transposition’ technique where insulating material is positioned ‘off’ the root entry zone (REZ), instead of ‘on’ it. We believe this ‘off-the-REZ’ technique can fundamentally prevent recurrence, if applicable. In addition, Gamma Knife radiosurgery can be an alternative option when a patient is ineligible for MVD, though it is categorized as a destructive procedure. 相似文献

Primary intracranial squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare, with most cases arising from a preexisting benign epidermoid cyst. We report a rare case of primary intracranial squamous cell carcinoma in the brain stem with a cerebellopontine angle (CPA) epidermoid cyst. A 72-year-old female suffered from progressive left hemiparesis, difficulty in swallowing, and right hemifacial numbness. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed a high signal intensity (SI) lesion in the CPA region and an intra-axially ring-enhanced cystic mass in the right brain stem with low SI. Whole-body positron emission tomography showed no evidence of metastatic disease. The histological findings revealed a typical epidermoid cyst in the CPA region and a squamous cell carcinoma in the brain stem. We speculate that the squamous cell carcinoma may have been developed due to a chronic inflammatory response by the adjacent epidermoid cyst. The patient underwent a surgical resection and radiotherapy. After 12 months, she had no evidence of recurrence. 相似文献

The cerebello-pontine angle lipomas causing trigeminal neuralgia or hemifacial spasm are rare. A lipoma causing glossopharyngel neuralgia is also very rare. A 46-year-old woman complained of 2-year history of severe right throat pain, with ipsilateral episodic otalgic pain. The throat pain was described as an episodic lancinating character confined to the throat. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a suspicious offending posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) compressing lower cranial nerves including glossopharyngeal nerve. At surgery, a soft, yellowish mass (2×3×3 mm in size) was found incorporating the lateral aspect of proximal portion of 9th and 10th cranial nerves. Only microvascular decompression of the offending PICA was performed. Additional procedure was not performed. Her severe lancinating pain remained unchanged, immediate postoperatively. The neuralgic pain disappeared over a period of several weeks. In this particular patient with a fatty neurovascular lump causing glossopharyngeal neuralgia, microvascular decompression of offending vessel alone was enough to control the neuralgic pain. 相似文献

Spinal extradural arachnoid cyst (SEAC) is a rare disease and uncommon cause of compressive myelopathy. The etiology remains still unclear. We experienced 2 cases of SEACs and reviewed the cases and previous literatures. A 59-year-old man complained of both leg radiating pain and paresthesia for 4 years. His MRI showed an extradural cyst from T12 to L3 and we performed cyst fenestration and repaired the dural defect with tailored laminectomy. Another 51-year-old female patient visited our clinical with left buttock pain and paresthesia for 3 years. A large extradural cyst was found at T1-L2 level on MRI and a communication between the cyst and subarachnoid space was illustrated by CT-myelography. We performed cyst fenestration with primary repair of dural defect. Both patients'' symptoms gradually subsided and follow up images taken 1-2 months postoperatively showed nearly disappeared cysts. There has been no documented recurrence in these two cases so far. Tailored laminotomy with cyst fenestration can be a safe and effective alternative choice in treating SEACs compared to traditional complete resection of cyst wall with multi-level laminectomy. 相似文献

While syringomyelia is not a rare spinal disorder, syringomyelia associated with a spinal arachnoid cyst is very unusual. Here, we report a 62-year-old man who suffered from gait disturbance and numbness of bilateral lower extremities. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the presence of a spinal arachnoid cyst between the 7th cervical and 3rd thoracic vertebral segment and syringomyelia extending between the 6th cervical and 1st thoracic vertebral segment. The cyst had compressed the spinal cord anteriorly. Syringomyelia usually results from lesions that partially obstruct cerebrospinal fluid flow. Therefore, we concluded that the spinal arachnoid cyst was causing the syringomyelia. After simple excision of the arachnoid cyst, the symptoms were relieved. A follow-up MRI demonstrated that the syringomyelia had significantly decreased in size after removal of the arachnoid cyst. This report presents an unusual case of gait disturbance caused by syringomyelia associated with a spinal arachnoid cyst. 相似文献

Background Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lesions are more commonly found in adults in which they account for 5–10% of all intracranial
tumors. However, they are uncommon in children, with an incidence of only 1%.
Materials and methods This is a review of the management of CPA lesions in children admitted to the Hospital Nacional de Pediatría “Profesor Doctor Juan P. Garrahan” (Argentine National Pediatrics Hospital “Professor Juan P. Garrahan”) between January 1988 and December 2003.
Results The series included 30 children with 33 CPA lesions, 20 arising from the subarachnoid space of the CPA and 13 from the vicinity
and growing mainly into the CPA. Twenty-seven tumors were located in the left CPA (82%) and six (12%), on the right. Ten of
the 30 patients developed hydrocephalus, but only three of these required treatment. All patients underwent retrosigmoid suboccipital
craniotomy and microsurgical resection. Gross total removal was achieved in 12 cases, subtotal in 18, and fenestration of
the cyst wall in the three arachnoid cysts. Ten patients have no sequelae, ten have mild deficit, three have severe deficits,
and seven have died.
Conclusion The CPA is a rare location for lesions in children, with clear predominance on the left side. Benign lesions are more frequent.
Even though schwannoma is the most frequently found lesion, the histology varies widely. 相似文献

In this report, we introduce an undetermined fibrous tumor with calcification occurring in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). A 51-year-old woman was admitted with a short history of dizziness. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance images revealed a 2×2×2 cm sized mass at the left CPA which was round and calcified. There was no dura or internal auditory canal involvement. At surgery, the tumor was located at the exit of 7th and 8th cranial nerve complex. It was very firm, bright yellow and well encapsulated. Histologic findings revealed that the tumor was predominantly composed of fibrous component, scant spindle cells and dystrophic calcification. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated positive for vimentin and negative for epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), S-100 protein, CD34, factor XIIIa and smooth muscle actin. The diagnosis was not compatible with meningioma, schwannoma, metastatic brain tumors, and other fibrous tumors. Although the tumor was resected in total, long term follow-up monitoring is necessary due to the possibility of recurrence. 相似文献

Intracranial squamous cell carcinoma is extremely rare, with most of the cases arising from malignant transformation of an epidermoid or a dermoid cyst. The patient presented with facial weakness. Initial magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the right cerebellopontine angle. A subtotal resection was performed via right retrosigmoid suboccipital approach. Histopathological findings were consistent with an epidermoid tumor. Five months later, the patient underwent gamma knife radiosurgery due to highly probable recurrent epidermoid tumor. Two years after, the patient''s neurological deficit had been newly developed, and follow-up magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a large contrast-enhancing tumor in the left cerebellopontine angle, which compressed the brainstem. After resection of the tumor, histopathological examinations revealed a squamous cell carcinoma probably arising from an underlying epidermoid cyst. We report a case of an epidermoid tumor in the cerebellopontine angle that transformed into a squamous cell carcinoma. 相似文献

We report a case of arachnoid cyst in which subdural hematoma and intracystic hemorrhage developed spontaneously. Usually, arachnoid cysts are asymptomatic, but can become symptomatic because of cyst enlargement or hemorrhage, often after mild head trauma. Although they are sometimes combined with subdural hematoma, intracystic hemorrhage has rarely been observed. Our patient had a simultaneous subdural hematoma and intracystic hemorrhage without evidence of head trauma. 相似文献

Cerebral lesions are held to induce plastic changes of the brain. Less well established, however, is how much space-occupying brain lesions may only displace functional representations. In a 66-year-old man we show, by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation, a profound displacement of the motor cortex due to a large asymptomatic arachnoid cyst. Thus, the chronically compressed brain is capable of sustaining normal brain function without utilizing the potential of cortical plasticity. 相似文献

We present an individual, “JD”, a 69-year-old Caucasian, married female with symptoms that included progressive right arm stiffness, tremor, and clumsiness; increasing gait and balance disturbance; increased fatigue and emotionality. Neuropsychological evaluation revealed compromised semantics and language-associated functions; impaired visual constructional ability; markedly reduced cognitive and visuomotor processing speed; low average to average working memory; variable praxis performance; variable abstract reasoning, problem solving, and set shifting; and lower overall intellectual functioning compared to premorbid estimates. Overall, her neuropsychological profile indicated marked compromise of the frontal and left parietal regions. The data coupled with her symptom pattern and demographics partially fit corticobasal degeneration diagnostic criteria. Neuroimaging, however, performed 2 years prior to the assessment and again during the current workup revealed an enlarging arachnoid cyst compressing the left parietal and posterior frontal lobe and a small portion of the right medial frontal-parietal region. We discuss the neuroanatomical substrates involved in her cognitive presentation and how two very distinct pathological processes (corticobasal degeneration, arachnoid cyst) can result in two similar symptom presentations. We summarize how multidisciplinary assessment assists with differential diagnosis and treatment planning. 相似文献
