“…The association between trigeminal neuralgia and petrous bone lesions is exceedingly rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature [3,4]. In such cases, the lesions involved the petrous part of the temporal bone and were found to be closely associated with the trigeminal nerve.…”

Trigeminal neuralgia is a rare and debilitating condition characterized by severe facial pain, often caused by the compression or irritation of the trigeminal nerve. Although trigeminal neuralgia caused by petrous bone lesions is uncommon, it can significantly impact a patient's quality of life. In this case report, we describe a 40-year-old female with a five-year history of severe facial pain diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia. Imaging revealed an aneurysmal bone cyst in the petrous part of the left temporal bone, located near the trigeminal nerve's root entry zone. The patient underwent a successful left retrosigmoid craniotomy with the resection of the lesion, resulting in a significant improvement in her symptoms. At the six-month follow-up, the patient reported no recurrence of her symptoms and a considerable improvement in her quality of life. Although trigeminal neuralgia caused by an aneurysmal bone cyst in the left temporal bone is rare, surgery is the most effective treatment. Long-term outcomes are generally favorable with close follow-up. This case report highlights the importance of early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention in the management of this debilitating condition.

“…The mainstay treatment of meningiomas is microsurgical resection. The meningioma prognosis depends on tumor grade, location, and patient's age [1][2][3][4]. Chemotherapy and hormonal treatment have bad results in treating meningioma, despite meningiomas' expression of hormonal receptors; subsequently, patients having recurrence after surgical resection and radiotherapy have very limited options for treatment [2,[5][6][7][8].…”

Meningioma is considered the most common primary benign brain tumor. It originates from the arachnoid cells of the leptomeninges surrounding the brain. The mainstay treatment of meningiomas is microsurgical resection. Meningioma prognosis depends on tumor grade, location, and patient age. Recently, using noncoding RNA as a prognostic and diagnostic biomarker for many tumors became a trend. Herein, we demonstrate the importance of non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs and lncRNAs in meningioma and their potential role in meningioma's early diagnosis, prognosis, histological grade, and radiosensitivity. In this review, many microRNAs were found to be upregulated in radioresistant meningioma cells such as . Moreover, there are many microRNAs downregulated in radioresistant meningioma cells such as microRNA-1275, microRNA-30c-1-3p, . Also, we highlight the possible use of non-coding RNAs as serum non-invasive biomarkers and their potential role as therapeutic targets to treat high-grade meningiomas. Recent studies show that are downregulated in the serum of patients with meningiomas. Additionally, microRNA-106a-5p, microRNA-219-5p, microRNA-375, and microRNA-409-3p are found to be upregulated in the serum of patients with meningioma. We also found that there are many deregulated microRNAs in meningioma cells that can be used as potential biomarkers for meningioma diagnosis,
