Intracranial Falcine Chondroma: A Case Report and Review of The Literature

Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2012, Vol 29, Issue 3

Abstract

Intracranial chondromas are rare neoplasms that are most commonly located at the skull base. Localization of this tumor in other areas, such as the convexity, falcine area, brain parenchyma or ventricles is less common. These slow-growing benign tumors have non-specific symptoms, and variable radiological findings. Complete surgical removal is the treatment of choice, and long-term prognosis is favorable. Herein, we describe a rare case of intracranial falcine chondroma in a 29 year-old female, and review the pertinent literature
