Basilar invagination and Chiari malformation associated with cerebellar atrophy: report of two treated cases.

We report two patients with an unusual complex of anomalies wherein the basilar invagination and Chiari malformation was associated with marked cerebellar atrophy. Both patients presented with relatively severe lower cranial nerve deficits and showed clinical improvement following a posterior foramen magnum bony decompression. The pathogenesis of the anomalies is discussed and the rationale of treatment is analysed.

Flare up of tuberculous abscess following stereotactic aspiration--case report.

A 16-year-old non-immunocompromised and otherwise healthy patient presented with a tuberculous brain abscess. The abscess was aspirated stereotactically. Following the aspiration the disease process flared up and multiple daughter abscess cavities were discovered. The daughter abscesses were removed via craniotomy. Stereotactic aspiration requires care to prevent such flare up of the disease.

Intraventricular tuberculoma.

A 38-year-old female presented with headaches, fever, and malaise. Computed tomography showed an intraventricular peripheral ring-enhanced lesion with central necrosis. The lesion was totally excised. Histological examination revealed a tuberculoma. The patient was treated with antituberculous chemotherapy. The patient was asymptomatic at 9 months. Ventricular involvement in neurotuberculosis is rare, but should be considered in the presence of other indicators of tuberculous infection.
