Introduction
The arachnoid mater is a delicate and avascular layer that lies in direct contact with the dura and is separated from the pia mater by the cerebrospinal fluid-filled subarachnoid space. The subarachnoid space is divided into cisterns named according to surrounding brain structures.Methods
The medical literature on this meningeal layer was reviewed in regard to historical aspects, etymology, embryology, histology, and anatomy with special emphasis on the arachnoid cisterns. Cerebrospinal fluid dynamics are discussed along with a section devoted to arachnoid cysts.Conclusion
Knowledge on the arachnoid mater and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics has evolved over time and is of great significance to the neurosurgeon in clinical practice. 相似文献2.
Introduction
The dura mater is important to the clinician as a barrier to the internal environment of the brain, and surgically, its anatomy should be well known to the neurosurgeon and clinician who interpret imaging.Methods
The medical literature was reviewed in regard to the morphology and embryology of specifically, the intracranial dura mater. A historic review of this meningeal layer is also provided.Conclusions
Knowledge of the cranial dura mater has a rich history. The embryology is complex, and the surgical anatomy of this layer and its specializations are important to the neurosurgeon. 相似文献3.

Introduction
The role of the choroid plexus in cerebrospinal fluid production has been identified for more than a century. Over the years, more intensive studies of this structure has lead to a better understanding of the functions, including brain immunity, protection, absorption, and many others. Here, we review the macro- and microanatomical structure of the choroid plexus in addition to its function and embryology.Method
The literature was searched for articles and textbooks for data related to the history, anatomy, physiology, histology, embryology, potential functions, and surgical implications of the choroid plexus. All were gathered and summarized comprehensively.Conclusion
We summarize the literature regarding the choroid plexus and its surgical implications. 相似文献5.

Introduction
The skull base represents a central and complex bone structure of the skull and forms the floor of the cranial cavity on which the brain lies. Anatomical knowledge of this particular region is important for understanding several pathologic conditions as well as for planning surgical procedures. Embryology of the cranial base is of great interest due to its pronounced impact on the development of adjacent regions including the brain, neck, and craniofacial skeleton.Materials and methods
Information from human and comparative anatomy, anthropology, embryology, surgery, and computed modelling was integrated to provide a perspective to interpret skull base formation and variability within the cranial functional and structural system.Results and conclusions
The skull base undergoes an elaborate sequence of development stages and represents a key player in skull, face and brain development. Furthering our holistic understanding of the embryology of the skull base promises to expand our knowledge and enhance our ability to treat associated anomalies. 相似文献8.

Objective
To describe and review autonomic complications of lightning strike.Methods
Case report and laboratory data including autonomic function tests in a subject who was struck by lightning.Results
A 24-year-old man was struck by lightning. Following that, he developed dysautonomia, with persistent inappropriate sinus tachycardia and autonomic storms, as well as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and functional neurologic problems.Interpretation
The combination of persistent sinus tachycardia and episodic exacerbations associated with hypertension, diaphoresis, and agitation was highly suggestive of a central hyperadrenergic state with superimposed autonomic storms. Whether the additional PTSD and functional neurologic deficits were due to a direct effect of the lightning strike on the central nervous system or a secondary response is open to speculation. 相似文献9.

Introduction
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), one of the most common neurocutaneous disorders, is a multisystemic disease associated with tumors in any organ of the body, especially in the central nervous system and also the peripheral nervous system. Pilocytic astrocytomas have been described in almost all intracranial regions in patients with NF1. However, only a few patients with NF1 and tumor of the corpus callosum have been reported to date.Material and methods
An 11-year-old white Spanish boy was evaluated due to a family history of NF1 and low performance test scores in school. He was studied from the neurological and intellectual level points of view.Results
Magnetic resonance (MR) study revealed a tumor in the anterior-middle portion of the corpus callosum and a Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised showed verbal IQ of 92, a performance IQ of 108, and a total IQ of 100. In addition, he showed attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.Conclusions
Tumors of corpus callosum in patients with NF1 are very uncommon. The patient presented in this paper consulted due to family history of NF1, progressive hyperactivity, and below average school performance. The MR study showed tumor in the corpus callosum. Tumor histology was not investigated. 相似文献10.

Background
Increasingly, Onyx is used for endovascular embolization of aneurysms and arterio-venous malformations. Although reports in the literature on the use of Onyx are favourable, there have been so far no reports on the central nervous system (CNS) infection rate after embolisation with Onyx and no recommendations as to the management of these infections.Case reports
We present two cases of paediatric patients who acquired CNS infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa after Onyx embolisation of AVMs and describe their subsequent management.Conclusions
Presence of established infection after Onyx embolisation should be dealt with by removal of infected material, administration of appropriate antibiotic therapy and supportive treatment. 相似文献11.

Background
Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD), otherwise known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), usually affects young adults and commonly presents with massive painless cervical lymphadenopathy. Extranodal disease is present in a third of patients, and it is recognised that this can involve the central nervous system. Intracranial RDD is rare in adults and fewer than 10 paediatric cases have been reported.Case
A 10-year-old boy with isolated intracranial RDD presents with a painless forehead mass. The management is discussed and the literature reviewed.Conclusion
This case of isolated intracranial RDD highlights the importance of considering RDD in the differential of paediatric intracranial mass lesions and outlines the diagnostic and treatment challenges faced when managing this rare condition. 相似文献12.

Introduction
Cloacal exstrophy is a rare condition characterized by a defect in the abdominal wall with extrusion of malformed abdominal contents. The normal separation of the genitourinary and gastrointestinal systems does not occur. While patients with cloacal exstrophy have a high incidence of spinal defects, cranial defects are rare. Chiari malformation has been rarely reported in children with cloacal exstrophy, although the embryogenesis is unknown.Objective
In this report, the authors describe a child with cloacal exstrophy and a large myelocystocele. The child also had an extensive Chiari II malformation.Results
We review the relevant embryology and suggest a possible mechanism for Chiari formation in this patient. 相似文献13.

Introduction
Embryonal tumor with abundant neuropil and true rosettes (ETANTR) is a rare subtype of primitive neuroectodermal tumors first reported in 2000. It is rare among the group of embryonal central nervous system tumors with approximately 50 reported cases. ETANTR has been suggested to be a separate entity among this group of tumors.Case report
Herein, we present only the second autopsy case of ETANTR, which occurred in a 17-month-old boy, and was located in the brainstem. The tumor was inoperable, and despite chemotherapy, the child died 3 months after initial hospitalization. A brain only autopsy was performed.Discussion
Neuropathological and neuroimaging examinations suggest ETANTR grew by expansion rather than invasion distorting anatomical structures of the posterior fossa. We suggest that the characteristic histopathological picture of the tumor is the result of multifocal and dispersed germinative activity surrounded by mature neuropil-like areas.Conclusion
ETANTR is a pediatric tumor occurring in children under 4 with a significantly poor prognosis with more cases and research required to characterize this rare embryonal tumor. 相似文献14.
Background
Neurocysticercosis, an infection of the central nervous system with the larval cysts of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, is the most common parasitic disease of the central nervous system. The disease is a major global cause of acquired epilepsy and may also manifest as intracranial hypertension due to mass effect from large cysts or to cerebrospinal fluid flow obstruction by intraventricular cysts or inflammation of the subarachnoid space. While the condition is endemic in several regions of the world and has been appreciated as a public health problem in such regions for several decades, its emergence in the USA in areas far from the Mexican border is a more recent phenomenon.Methods
We present a case of surgically corrected acute hydrocephalus in a recent Haitian emigrant child due to a third ventricular neurocysticercal cyst complex.Results
We describe the endoscope-assisted en bloc removal of the complex, together with hydraulic maneuvers facilitating the removal of the intact cyst.Conclusions
Simple hydraulic maneuvers can facilitate the endoscopic en bloc removal of third ventricular neurocysticercal cysts. 相似文献15.

Background
Malformations of the cerebral cortex are often associated with developmental delay and psychoses. Porencephaly is a rare congenital disorder of central nervous system involving a cyst or a cavity filled with cerebrospinal fluid, in brain's parenchyma.Case presentation
We present a 25 years old woman with her first psychotic episode. She also suffers from porencephaly in the frontotemporal lobes region. It is emphasized that the two consistently abnormal brain regions in schizophrenia research had significant damage in this patient since birth. There is a total of only five cases of schizencephaly or porencephaly associated with psychosis in the scientific literature. Their clinical characteristics as well as the imaging results are described.Conclusion
It is unclear if porencephaly and psychosis concur by chance or are causally related. The area where the porencephalic cysts appear seems to be of relevance. This case highlights the need for further research. 相似文献16.

Introduction
Unilateral lambdoidal craniosynostosis is a rare disorder that occurs in approximately 3 % of all craniosynostosis phenotypes and only 0.03 % of one million live births. It is even more unusual for this type of synostosis to occur in siblings with only two other cases reported in the literature.Case report
We report a set of full-term dizygotic twins born with lambdoidal synostosis and a family history of connective tissue and cardiovascular anomalies. One of the twins also had concomitant bicoronal craniosynostosis.Conclusion
True familial lambdoidal synostosis is exceedingly rare. The present cases in dizygotic twins occurred in a family with a significant history of connective tissue disease suggesting a possible association. 相似文献17.

Purpose
Desmoplastic fibromas are primary bone tumors that seldom occur in the cranial bones. Furthermore, reports of desmoplastic fibromas of the skull in children are exceedingly rare. Although desmoplastic fibromas are histologically benign, they are locally aggressive and have a propensity to reoccur. Their radiographic appearance may mimic other more common central nervous system and bone neoplasms. There are only 19 reported cases of desmoplastic fibroma of the cranium in the literature, and only seven occurred in the pediatric age group. We present a case report of an 11-year-old female patient with a desmoplastic fibroma of the parieto-occipital region and review the literature.Case report
An 11-year-old female presented to the craniofacial clinic complaining of intermittent pain and a soft mass in the occipital region. There was a distant history of trauma to the region that did not require medical intervention. Computed tomography imaging revealed a lytic bone lesion overlying the sagittal sinus in the parieto-occipital region. Surgical resection with wide margins and immediate autologous reconstruction was performed. Pathological analysis revealed a desmoplastic fibroma. At 4 months of follow-up, no recurrence has been noted.Conclusion
Desmoplastic fibroma of the cranium is rare. Complete surgical resection with careful follow-up is the treatment of choice. 相似文献18.
Introduction
Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a very rare condition in pediatric patients. Varicella zoster infection could be a predisposing factor, and SEA should be suspected in patients with signs of secondary bacterial infection and even mild neurological signs.Clinical case
We describe here a case of a 30-month-old girl with a history of remitting varicella infection, diagnosed for a lumbar epidural abscess and sacro-ileitis, secondary to group A Streptococcus (GAS).Discussion
This is the third case of SEA from GAS reported in the literature in a pediatric population with varicella infection. We discuss here the clinical presentation and the diagnostic challenges for SEA in childhood through a review of the literature. 相似文献19.

Background
Data are scarce about whether past history of major depressive disorder in the absence of current depression places breast cancer patients at risk for worse quality of life.Purpose
The current study prospectively examined quality of life during chemotherapy in breast cancer patients with a history of resolved major depressive disorder (n?=?29) and no history of depression (n?=?144).Methods
Women with Stages 0?CII breast cancer were assessed prior to and at the completion of chemotherapy. Major depressive disorder was assessed via structured interview and quality of life with the SF-36.Results
Patients with past major depressive disorder displayed greater declines in physical functioning relative to patients with no history of depression (p????0.01).Conclusions
Findings suggest that breast cancer patients with a history of resolved major depressive disorder are at increased risk for declines in physical functioning during chemotherapy relative to patients with no history of depression. 相似文献20.
