As a result it is important to identified and differentiate a tension pneumocranium from a simple pneumocranium with its characteristics. Computed tomography scanning is the choice of diagnostic modality for the diagnosis of tension pneumocranium with its specific features in the scan. We present a case of 73 years old women who developed tension pneumocranium after a bifrontal craniotomy and transnasal endoscopic resection of a cribriform meningioma which was aggrevated by lumbar drainage.

Mineralizing Fibroma Case Study

1157 Words | 5 Pages

The treatment of choice for peripheral ossifying fibroma is local surgical excision as well as the removal of the aggressive agent and forwarding the specimen for histopathological examination (NEVILLE W, DAMM D.D, ALLEN C.M, BOUQUOT J.E, 2008).
