Pneumosinus Dilatans

“…Another problem is the connexions with meningioma which, in the opinion of some workers (SCHULLER 1930;STANKA 1933;MAYER 1934;PSENNER 1963), go beyond mere coincidence. Ectasia of the sinuses demarcated by varying degrees of increased bone density was a finding in thirteen (38 %) of the 34 meningiomas of the tuberculum sellae and in eight (20 %) of the 40 meningiomas of the olfactory grooves operated on at this hospital (LOM-BARDI 1967).…”

Compressive Optic Nerve Lesions at the Optic Canal

“…The overwhelming preference of males between 20 and 40 years of age, as well as secondary pneumatization especially of the frontal sinuses, which is frequently observed in acromegalic patients, indicates that a hormonal factor is involved. Association with meningiomas has frequently been described and is known as "blistering" and as being associated with sclerotic bone changes of the planum sphenoidale or tuberculum sellae (Olivecrona 1927;Schuller 1930;Decker 1960;Psenner 1963;Beutel and Tanzer 1963;Lombardi et al 1968;Wiggly et al 1975;Leonardi and Fabris 1976;Hirst et al 1979: 1982, andothers). Other pathological conditions associated with focal pneumosinus dilatans are hemangiomas (Mayer 1959;Susse 1964), particularly in connection with systemic diseases such as Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome or Sturge-Weber syndrome, Recklinghausen's disease, and other phacomatoses (Psenner 1963;Weikmann 1958;Spoor et al 1981).…”

“…Later on, after a period of silence, the phenomenon of hyperpneumatization again became a subject of great interest, and between 1950 and 1956 a series of thorough discussions on the mechanism of pathological pneumatization and predisposing factors appeared, mainly in the ENT literature (NotzeI1950; Kahler 1950;Oltersdorf 1953Oltersdorf ,1954Link and Handl1954;Montresor 1954;Schlosshauer 1955;Puschel and Schlosshauer 1956). This resulted in the well-established diseases entity being represented in neuroradiological text books (Psenner 1963;Beutel and Tanzer 1963;Lombardi 1967;Lloyd 1975, and others). Then it was forgotten again, only to be partially rediscovered in the late 1970s and early 1980s (Leonardi 1976;Vine et al 1976;Morrison et al 1976;Kaufmann et al 1977;Prott 1977;Hirst et al 1979;Meyers and Burtschi 1980;Spoor et al 1981;Hirst et al 1982;Zoon et al 1983;Morton et al 1983;Morton 1983;Unsold 1983;Hassler and Eggert 1985;Reicher et al 1986).…”
