Cranial pseudomeningoceles are abnormal extradural collections of cerebrospinal fluid. Postoperative giant cranial pseudomeningoceles have been rarely reported in the literature and have no specific treatment guidelines. The optimal management strategy for this condition differs among authors, varying from conservative approach to surgical intervention. A spontaneous resolution of postoperative giant frontal pseudomeningocele is reported. A 41-year-old female presented a pseudomeningocele 3 weeks after a right frontal meningioma surgical resection. The pseudomeningocele progressed during the first 1.5-month postoperatively despite percutaneous aspiration and compressive bandage, it then shrank spontaneously and was completely resolved at the 15 th month since the surgery. Nonoperative treatment with a close follow-up could be a good option for asymptomatic giant pseudomeningoceles, resulting in a spontaneous resolution.

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a painful condition characterized by stabbing pain throughout the glossopharyngeal nerve distribution. Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we have learned that COVID-19 may induce neurological symptoms and complications. This case report presents a 54-year-old patient diagnosed with GPN, potentially secondary to COVID-19. The pain resolved spontaneously in three months without the need for medication. We discuss our diagnostic approach for this patient and propose a possible theory about the relation between cranial neuralgias and COVID-19.

Background: Most spinal meningiomas primarily grow in the intradural extramedullary location. Epidural meningiomas are uncommon; if detected, they usually coexist with intradural lesions. They inhere more aggressive and invasive characteristics compared with their counterparts inside the dura. Case Description: We report a 22-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital with weakness and numbness in both lower limbs. Her cervical magnetic resonance imaging revealed an en-plaque and dumbbell-shaped lesion located from C5 to C8. After gadolinium injection, the whole mass was enhanced and unveiled two portions: intradural and extradural. The bone window of the computed tomography scan revealed calcification inside the lesion. The patient underwent tumor removal surgery. The pathology findings showed a psammomatous meningioma. After 6 months of surgery, the patient has been able to walk with walkers. Conclusion: We should consider spinal meningioma as a differential diagnosis when encountering an extradural lesion in the cervical region. The optimal surgical treatment for young patient with epidural meningiomas is radical surgery with dura attachment removal.
