Title: Chondroma of Cerebral Falx: A Rare Intracranial Diagnosis. Author: Awan LM, Niaz A, Amin, Vohra AH. Journal: J Coll Physicians Surg Pak; 2015 Oct; 25(10):771-3. PubMed ID: 26454394. Abstract: Chondromas are benign tumors which mostly occur in extremities but also sometimes in the cranium. Intracerebral chondroma is rare condition. Most intracranial chondromas arise from skull base, but chondroma of falx origin is a rare entity and mostly occurs in relation with syndromic disorders such as Mafucci's syndrome or Ollier's syndrome. Here, we report a rare case of falcine intracranial chondroma in a young man who presented with headaches and weakness of lower extremities and no signs of any syndromic disorder. The purpose of this case report was to raise awareness about intracranial chondromas. Chondroma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of calcified masses arising from the falx.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
