    Abstract Background: Syringomyelia is a neurological disorder that is caused by abnormal cerebrospinal fluid flow or circulation. It is an incidental finding in most cases, predominantly presenting with sensory symptoms of insensitivity to pain and temperature. Spinal ossified ligamentum flavum (OLF) leading to syringomyelia is one of the rare causes. The authors report an unusual case of syringomyelia due to a thoracic OLF.
    Observations: A 54-year-old female presented with backache, difficulty walking, spasticity in the bilateral lower limbs, tingling sensation in the bilateral lower limbs, and paraparesis for 5 years. Her radiological investigations were suggestive of an OLF causing a syrinx. She underwent laminectomy, and her syrinx resolved on subsequent follow-up.
    Lessons: A syrinx due to a single-level OLF is rare, and this uncommon cause should be kept in mind while formulating treatment plans.

    Abstract Osteomyelitis and abscess of the clivus are rare conditions thought to arise from contiguous spread of infection from the paranasal sinuses. Clival osteomyelitis is a rare potentially life-threatening skull base infection which is generally challenging to diagnose and treat. It is typically seen in the pediatric population and is very rare in the adult population. The exact pathophysiology of osteomyelitis of the clivus is relatively uncertain. Here, we describe a case of a 32-year-old immunocompetent female with a primary complaint of headache, with no significant medical history of diabetes, hypertension or rhinosinusitis or SARS COV-2 for the past 18 months. This case report demonstrates an image-guided and endoscopic approach to surgical localization and treatment of abscesses in the clival area.

    Abstract Chiari malformation (CM) is a common neurological disorder with foramen magnum decompression (FMD) as a commonly accepted treatment. The authors present a case of CM-1 wherein there was no radiological instability preoperatively and FMD was done as a treatment, after which the patient improved transiently only to deteriorate further. Atlantoaxial fixation was done as a second-stage procedure, after which the patient improved clinically and radiologically. The knowledge of this case and surgical entity should be borne in mind before the formulation of a treatment plan. It is important that the solution is to identify and treat the underlying pathology rather than to decompress and directly manipulate the tonsils.

    Abstract Abstract: Subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGAs) are low-grade gliomas usually arising in the periventricular regions near the foramen of Monro seen exclusively with tuberous sclerosis complex. Incidence of hemorrhage in SEGA is less than 1% with only 10 cases reported in English literature. We present a similar case of SEGA with spontaneous intratumoral hemorrhage in a 35-year-old male with cutaneous manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex and acute onset headache with convulsion.

    Abstract Extradural hematoma (EDH) is a fairly common entity in neurosurgical practice but EDHt at a contrecoup site and crossing a cranial suture is rare. The authors present a case of EDH due to contrecoup injury in whom sutural diastases was noted and hematoma was seen to be crossing the adjacent suture. This was accompanied with subdural hematoma (SDH) at the coup site. According to the best of our knowledge, it makes the case only the 13

    Abstract Background: Osteonecrosis in mucormycosis is a rare phenomenon and has been reported usually following trauma or in immunocompromised individuals. Osteonecrosis of skull as a complication of mucormycosis is a rare presentation, which makes the study ever so rare and interesting.
    Methods: Within 6 months, a total of 114 patients presented with mucormycosis as COVID-19 sequel, 60 of whom underwent form of endoscopic sinus debridement. Six of these 60 patients presented with frontal bone osteonecrosis and were included in the study. All 6 patients presented within a time period of 2-4 months' post FESS.
    Results: One of the 6 patients succumbed to her illness. Another patient presented with local recurrence after 3 months, for which she underwent resurgery and debridement. The other 4 patients showed gradual recovery and are without symptoms or radiologic progression at 6-month follow-up.
    Conclusions: Osteonecrosis in mucormycosis is a rare phenomenon, and the 2 entities have rarely been reported together. The disease usually limits itself to the frontal bone only, and pathogenesis for spread is due to a vicious cycle of infection and ischemia. Prompt diagnosis via imaging, aggressive surgical debridement with a good antifungal cover, good patient compliance, and regular follow-up form the mainstay of treatment.

    Abstract A 46-year-old female came to neurosurgery outpatient department with sudden onset of drooping of RE upper eyelid and restriction of movements in adduction, depression and elevation in right eye. Patient was a known case of diabetes mellitus whose blood sugar levels were deranged. On examination, patient was diagnosed pituitary macroadenoma. Patient was treated for her uncontrolled diabetes mellitus following which she had underwent transsphenoidal pituitary macroadenoma removal. On treatment, patient's ptosis had subsided and restriction of movement has resolved.

    Abstract Epidermoid cysts are infrequent lesions occupying the intracranial space, comprising approximately 1-2% of all intracranial tumors. Brainstem epidermoids are exceptionally uncommon in children; up until now, only a few scattered case reports have been documented in the literature regarding this unique location. These cysts commonly arise from the inclusion of ectodermal elements during neural tube closure. Complete excision of these cysts is challenging due to their close proximity and adherence to the brainstem, which makes it difficult to achieve. As a result, recurrence of the cysts is not uncommon. We have reported a rare case of a 3-year-old with a 5-month history of progressive headache, imbalance while walking and progressive weakness in his right upper limb and lower limb along with difficulty in swallowing. On MRI Brain imaging study he had a pre-pontine epidermoid with intra-axial extension in the pons. The patient underwent retro-sigmoid/suboccipital craniotomy and microsurgical excision of the tumor, including the tumor capsule. After completing the surgery, the cavity was irrigated using a solution containing hydrocortisone and Ringer lactate to prevent the occurrence of aseptic meningitis. In the postoperative, the patient recovered without any complications, as all symptoms showed immediate improvement, and the lower cranial nerves returned to normal functioning.

    Abstract Background: All children between 0 and 16 years presenting with brain tumours confirmed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and treated surgically in our institute were included in this study.
    Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the neuroophthalmic and clinical characteristics of intracranial space occupying lesions in children.
    Methods: Neuroophthalmic manifestations along with location of the tumour by contrast-enhanced MRI, type of surgical intervention, and postoperative histopathological diagnosis were evaluated.
    Results: In pediatric brain tumours, male preponderance was seen and supratentorial location was more common in general, while in older children, infratentorial tumours were more common than supratentorial tumours. Headache, vomiting, and cerebellar signs were the commonest neurological features. Diminution of vision, diplopia, and strabismus were the commonest ophthalmic symptoms. Papilledema, ophthalmoparesis, and nystagmus were the most frequent ophthalmological signs. Neurological manifestations of seizures, altered sensorium and motor deficits were more frequently seen in supratentorial tumours, while cranial nerve involvement and ataxia were seen in infratentorial tumours. Ophthalmological manifestations including diplopia, strabismus, ophthalmoparesis, and nystagmus were more frequently seen in infratentorial tumours. Astrocytoma was the most frequent histopathological diagnosis followed by medulloblastoma.
    Conclusion: Diagnosis of pediatric intracranial tumours is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach for prompt management. An ophthalmologist should have a high index of suspicion for brain tumours especially in patients presenting with common ocular symptoms like diminution of vision, diplopia, and strabismus without any neurological symptoms.
