چکیده
Direct extension of a glioblastoma through the dura at the skull base is an uncommon occurrence. We report an unusual case of recurrent glioblastoma that spread transdurally through the foramen ovale and presented primarily as a masticator space mass. There was mandibular denervation and a relative paucity of intracranial disease.

Though uncommon, right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale with normal right-side pressure and with a normal interatrial pressure gradient has been reported. The speculated pathophysiology is attributed to directional blood flow streaming from the vena cava to the left atrium. Hypoxemia secondary to right-to-left shunt with normal pulmonary artery pressure has been extensively document...
متن کاملPatent foramen ovale is an important predictor of adverse outcome in patients with major pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND Right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale is frequently diagnosed by contrast echocardiography and can be particularly prominent in the presence of elevated pressures in the right side of the heart. Its prognostic significance in patients with pulmonary thromboembolism, however, is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS The present prospective study included 139 consecutive patients...

SUMMARY We report the CT and MR findings in a patient with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in the parapharyngeal space who had neither a family history nor stigmata of neurofibromatosis. A high-resolution CT scan of the temporal bone revealed bony erosion and widening of both the foramen ovale and the bony portion of the eustachian tube. A temporal bone MR image showed an intensely enha...
