“…Holladay and Fruin suggested that CSF cytology should be evaluated postoperatively to determine spinal radiotherapy's need since ODG could metastasize through the subarachnoid route 44 . However, patients can be observed before radiotherapy for the recurrence of the tumor 2 . The scarcity of data about posterior fossa ODGs has led to the absence of the exact treatment protocol.…”

“…Notably, only four infratentorial cystic ODG cases were reported in cerebellar regions, with only a single case occurring in adult patients. 2 Generally, the clinical presentations of ODGs are diverse, non-specific, and depend on the size, growth rate, location, and compressive effects on adjacent structures. 9 Seizure has been reported as the most common presenting symptom of ODG, which may have existed several years before the diagnosis.…”

“…The differential diagnosis of intraparenchymal schwannomas with calcification should include the following entities: (1) psammomatous meningiomas, which usually show calcification on CT and dural tail sign on MRI [8] ; (2) oligodendrogliomas, which appear hypointensity on T1-weighted imaging and hyperintensity on T2-weighted imaging and calcification can be visible.

Rationale:Intracranial schwannomas most frequently arise from the trigeminal nerve and the vestibular nerve. Schwannomas within the cerebral parenchyma are exceedingly rare. Additionally, calcification is an uncommon histopathological and radiological characteristic in schwannomas.Patient concerns:A 46-year-old man presented to us with sudden onset epileptic seizure and a 3-month history of intermittent headache. After admission, the physical and neurological examinations were all normal. Brain CT revealed an irregular, well-defined, hyperdense mass in the right temporal lobe. MRI showed a solid mass appearing iso- to hypointensity on T1-weighted imaging and heterogeneous intensity on T2-weighted imaging in the right temporal lobe; after Gd-DTPA administration, the lesion showed heterogeneous enhancement.Diagnosis:Histopathological examination revealed hyperchromatic nuclei and loose intercellular matrix with calcification. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that the tumor was strongly positive for S100 protein but negative for GFAP and CK, which was consistent with a schwannoma.Interventions and outcomes:A surgical resection via the right temporal approach was performed. Intraoperatively, we noticed that the tumor was grayish yellow, capsuled, and located entirely within the temporal parenchyma. A gross total resection was achieved. The postoperative course was uneventful, and there was no epileptic seizure.Lessons:Intraparenchymal schwannoma with calcification is an uncommon histopathological and radiological characteristic in schwannomas. Intraparenchymal schwannoma with calcification is extremely rare. The early identification and appropriate surgical treatment should be highlighted.

The incidence of cerebral herniation caused by intratumoral hemorrhage (ITH) in cystic oligodendroglioma (COD) is exceedingly rare. This study presents a case of cerebral herniation subsequent to cystic oligodendroglioma (COD) and sudden intratumoral hemorrhage. Following initial emergency treatment and evaluation, we successfully circumvented the solid component of the tumor and proceeded with cystic puncture and external drainage to prevent the incidence of brain herniation and mitigate the severity of associated symptoms. Based on preoperative examination results, the cystic glioma was successfully resected, and the patient experienced an uneventful recovery. According to the pathological findings, the oligodendroglioma was classified as World Health Organization (WHO) grade III. The treatment efficacy was comparable to cases of the same pathological grade, in which neither intratumoral hemorrhage nor cerebral hernia was observed.
