Cavernous hemangioma of the cavernous sinus. Complete disappearance of the neoplasma after subtotal excision and radiation therapy. Case report.
A case of a 46-year-old woman with a left cavernous sinus hemangioma is reported. The onset of symptoms consisted in left orbital pain and ocular diseases. The suspected diagnosis were among Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and, after neuroimaging researches, cavernous sinus meningioma, trigeminal neurinoma, craniopharyngioma and adenoma with extrasellar extension. The lesion was partially removed with additional neurological deficit of the left 3rd cranial nerve. The patient underwent 7 months later focal radiation therapy of 45 Gray and a 19 months follow-up showed the complete disappearance of the mass and partial recovery of the 3rd cranial nerve function.

Metastatic carcinoma to artero-venous haemangioma. Case report.
A case of metastasis of primary lung-carcinoma to a cerebral artero-venous haemangioma is presented. Although the phenomenon of metastasis to primary brain neoplasm is being recognised with increasing frequency, we've found only two cases into vascular tumours reported. The authors emphasize the rarity of this occurrence and discuss the possible pathogenetic mechanisms, which are at present incompletely understood.
Intrinsic III ventricle craniopharyngioma.
A case of intrinsic III ventricle craniopharyngioma in an 11-year-old girl is presented. Only five cases in children have previously been reported in detail. The intraventricular location of a craniopharyngioma originates from ectopic remnants and causes intracranial hypertension without hormonal or neurological disorders. The tumor was safely removed by the transcallosal approach, and we confirmed that the floor of the III ventricle was intact.
