Radio clinico histological presentation of intracranial dural chondroma

Abstract

We report a challenging diagnosis and the successful management of a rare case of intracranial dural chondroma in a 19-year-old student. He was admitted for secondary epilepsy with behavioral and mood disorder without neurological deficit. His past medical history was unremarkable. The patient was initially taken, by his parents, to the psychiatry department, where medical treatment was prescribed. The cerebral MRI was done, and based on the extra-axial, left fronto-parietal lesion found. Plus, the nonspecific aspect of the clinical findings, the radiological investigations did not help for a straight forward diagnosis orientation. The patient underwent surgery and promptly recovered after the gross total resection of the tumor.
