Multiple meningiomas in a child.

We report the case of a 4-year, 5-month-old boy, who had unusual multiple meningiomas occurring simultaneously in the intracranial, intraorbital, and spinal spaces. All lesions were surgically excised and histologically proved. This is the youngest patient with multiple meningiomas without history of neurofibromatosis reported in the literature.

Optic glioma masquerading as spasmus nutans.

An eight-month-old child who presented with signs of spasmus nutans subsequently developed obstructive hydrocephalus, bilateral optic atrophy, and loss of vision due to a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma involving the optic nerves, chiasm, and anterior third ventricle. It appears that gliomas arising from this region may produce signs that imitate spasmus nutans.
