Overview

Two cases illustrate surgery success in convexity chondromas, with one involving a cerebrospinal fluid leak, suggesting careful management is essential.

Key Points

  • Successful gross total resection of both convexity intracranial chondromas was achieved, resulting in no post-operative complications.
  • One lesion measured 11 cm, while the other was 5 cm, both showing stable outcomes during long-term follow-up of 12 years.
  • A CSF leak associated with encephalocele was effectively managed using endoscopic endonasal repair, highlighting surgical versatility.
  • These cases underline the importance of accurate diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach in managing rare intracranial tumors.
