Meningiomatosis (multiple meningioma) are defined by the presence of at least 2 simultaneous lesions present at different intracranial locations without an association with neurofibromatosis type 2. It accounts for 1-10 % of meningioma. it is usually common in females. It can occur with or without signs of neurofibromatosis. The primary goal of treatment is to remove the lesion causing sign and symptoms and to follow others. Surgery is the main treatment option as like solitary meningioma and the prognosis is usually very good. We will discuss here a case of 52 years female diagnosed as a case of multiple meningioma describe her clinical, radiological and histopathological features. We will also highlight the surgical managements and postoperative course.

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) and brinjal (solanum melongena L) is very popular vegetable in India and rich source of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins (Tomar and Saha, 2018). They suffer from several biotic and abiotic stresses. Among these, bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is most devastating and economically important diseases of both. The several efforts has been taken to overcome these stress. However, grafting was utilized to manage bacterial wilt in tomato crops worldwide (Ganiyu et al., 2018). The use of tolerant rootstocks for grafting brinjalt varieties is most effective approach to control bacterial wilt disease (King et al., 2008). Resistance to R. solanacearum has been identified in various accessions of cultivated brinjal and in distant wild relatives, such as S. capsicoides, S. sisymbriifolium, S. virginianum, S. grandiflorum, S. hispidum, S. sessiliflorum, S. stramonifolium, S. torvum, S. americanum ,S. nigrum, and S. scabrum (Rotino et al., 2014). There are some reports of improving production and productivity in horticultural crops using grafting approach such as guava (Psidium guajava) and pomegranate (Punica granatum) (Nowrozy.,. 2017; Kholia et al., 2022). However, there is no report on in vitro micrografting of tomato, brinjal, chilli, and citrus. Therefore, cost -effective in vitro micrgrafting protocol of tomato, brinjal, chili, and citrus is the need of the day. Micrografted tomato and brinjal against Ralstonia solanacearum using bacterial wilt resistance wild brinjal rootstock, was also evaluated.

Papillitis is a vision threatening condition, characterized by inflammation of the optic disc which often mimicked the features of papilledema; hence these patients often referred to the Neurosurgeon to exclude any intracranial pathology. This entity is associated with a number of intracranial, as well as extracranial pathologies. Among them, Parry–Romberg syndrome, also known as progressive hemifacial atrophy (PHA) possesses multiple ophthalmologic and neurologic manifestations. Here we report the case of a 14-year-old girl, who presented with the feature of progressive dimness of vision involving the right eye. Thorough physical examination demonstrated features of PHA overlapping with papillitis on fundoscopic examination. The patient treated with steroids, following which there was visual improvement. After evaluation in our facility, she was referred to department of plastic and reconstructive surgery for aesthetic improvement. Bang. J Neurosurgery 2020; 10(1): 97-101

Some lesions in the brain are difficult to approach through a single common route / trajectory. For those, dual approach combined together may ensure easier safe removal with better outcome as we had lesions like left petroclival meningioma & large craniopharyngioma. Methods Two patients, one left petroclival meningioma and one suprasellar craniopharyngioma with intraventricular extension underwent surgery with dual approach at the Neurosurgery department, BSMMU. After detailed clinical and radiological evaluation, the left petroclival meningioma patient was planned for a combined pre and post sigmoid petrosectomy and retromastoid retrosigmoid route. These were accomplished in two stages, three months apart. The craniopharyngioma patient with intraventricular extension underwent surgery through pterional transsylvian and frontal anterior trans-callosal approach in a single sitting. Bang.
