A 6 year old boy had a mid‐line cerebellar medulloblastoma treated by local resection followed by craniospinal irradiation. Twenty‐three years later he underwent temporal craniotomy to remove a cystic temporal meningioma. It is suggested that this is a radiation induced neoplasm.
Glomus intravagale tumours are relatively rare tumours. A case is described and some aspects of its management are discussed with emphasis on the pre‐operative investigation and diagnosis of this condition. Selective embolization of the lesion before operation is an important adjunct in treatment to reduce the vascularity of the tumour during operation. Intra‐operative cardiac arrest due to traction of the vagus nerve was encountered. The methods to avoid this complication are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
