    Multiple intracranial melanoma metastases: case report and review of the literature
    (Springer, 2009) Guzel, Aslan; Maciaczyk, Jaroslaw; Dohmen-Scheufler, Hildegard; Senturk, Senem; Volk, Benedikt; Ostertag, Christoph B.; Nikkhah, Guido
    Although intracerebral metastases of malignant melanoma are common, those located in the sellar region and within the pontocerebellar area are extremely rare. Furthermore, to our knowledge, there is no report about melanoma metastasis to the epiphysis published so far. We report here a 46-year-old patient who had metastatic lesions in the sellar region, cerebellopontine area and epiphysial gland, preceded by a primary melanoma at her left shoulder. The diagnosis of sellar metastasis was confirmed histopathologically following a stereotactic biopsy. The patient received whole-brain irradiation therapy combined with chemotherapy. After 10 months, she died from a severe hemorrhage in the cerebellopontine angle. Autopsy findings confirmed melanoma metastases both in the cerebellopontine angle and additionally in the epiphysial gland. To our knowledge, this is the first case of multiple intracranial melanoma metastases including the suprasellar region, the pontocerebellar and epiphysial area.

    Primary cerebral intraventricular hydatid cyst: A case report and review of the literature
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2008) Guzel, Aslan; Tatli, Mehmet; Maciaczyk, Jaroslaw; Altinors, Nur
    Intracranial hydatid cysts, which are common in certain areas worldwide, almost always develop at an intraparenchymal site. However, the literature on intraventricular hydatid cysts consists of only 6 independent case reports and about 30 cases that are described in large series. We report on a 10-year-old girl who was admitted with an intracranial cyst. She complained of headache of 10 months' duration that had intensified significantly over the 3 weeks immediately before her admission. The results of a neurologic examination showed bilateral papilledema and slight left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a right temporo-parieto-occipital cystic lesion that was causing the shifting of the midline structures to the contralateral side. The giant cyst was successfully removed without rupture. The possibility of infection with Echinococcus gramilosus should be included in the differential diagnosis of unspecific neurologic symptoms such as a progressively worsening headache, especially in pediatric patients from the geographic areas in which that parasite is endemic.
