Behavioral epileptic seizures (BES) are a unique type of seizure that can be presented with or without the classic limb movements of epilepsy. This type of seizure is commonly associated with the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Symptoms consist of anxiety, smiling, crying, fear, aggression, irritability, and change in awareness or activity. We report a case of unusual seizure presentation of jerky movements followed by intense fear and crying caused by a right parietal cavernous malformation with chronic bleeding.
An intracranial solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare and aggressive tumor with a high propensity for locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis. The formerly used collective term for this tumor, "solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma", has recently fallen out of use and is now commonly replaced with the term "solitary fibrous tumor". We describe a rare case of intracranial SFT with simultaneous metastasis to the spine, the right humerus, and the lungs four years after resection and radiotherapy of the primary tumor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
