ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Intramedullary glioependymal cysts are rare congenital lesions of the spinal cord. Their association with another congenital lesion, i.e., tethered cord, is rarer still. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: We present a case of intramedullary glioependymal cyst with a filar lipoma in an infant. The clinical features, terminology and pathogenesis are discussed. Many varieties of spinal cysts have been described. It is now believed that simple ciliated or goblet-containing intracranial and intraspinal cysts are endodermal rather than glioependymal in origin. The diagnostic criteria, too, have been defined. Although many of these lesions are developmental in origin their association with other congenital anomalies is rare.

ABSTRACT: Aneurysmal bone cysts are uncommon lesions of the bone, which are benign and non-neoplastic in nature. They are commonly seen in the long bones. Their occurrence in the calvarium is rare. We report the occurrence of an aneurysmal bone cyst in the temporal bone of a young boy, which eroded the posterior part of the orbit to cause proptosis.

ABSTRACT: CSF ascites is a very rare complication of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt procedure. No definite explanation has been offered for the inability of the peritoneum to absorb the CSF. Two children who underwent VP shunting for hydrocephalus, presented with ascites 3 (1/2) years and 4 months respectively, after the shunt was placed. The treatment of choice is conversion of the VP shunt to a ventriculoatrial shunt.

ABSTRACT: Teratomas are uncommon tumors of the nervous system, the commonest site being the pineal region. Spinal teratomas are very rare apart from the sacrococcygeal variety. The authors report the occurrence of an intramedullary teratoma in an infant. The clinical features, imaging studies and the pathology are discussed. In addition the literature is also reviewed.

ABSTRACT: Medulloepithelioma is an uncommon tumour. Among the various sites of origin the optic nerve is rare. We report here two cases of medulloepithelioma of the optic nerve that had extended intradurally into the cranial cavity. A review of the published cases is also given.

ABSTRACT: A case of posterior cranial fossa meningioma without dural attachment is presented. The patient was 8 years old. The tumour was mostly in the cerebellum and was presumably arising from the telechoroidea. Meningiomas without dural attachment are uncommon. They are rarer in the posterior fossa and in very young children.
