TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - A case report of calcifying pseudoneoplasm of the neuraxis: an incidental finding after a car accident JO - Türk patoloji dergisi A1 - Zerehpoosh, Farahnaz Bidari A1 - Samadian, Mohammad A1 - Azhari, Vahideh Sadat A1 - Barangi, Maryam A1 - Ebrahimzadeh, Kaveh A1 - Heidary, Mahnaz SP - 265 EP - 268 VL - 34 IS - 3 N2 - Calcifying pseudoneoplasms of the neuraxis are rare, poorly understood lesions that can occur anywhere in the central nervous system without any age or sex predilection. Their pathogenesis is still controversial. Patients can present with various symptoms due to lesion location and only few cases have been discovered incidentally. We present a 25-year-old male referred to our hospital after a car accident. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging was done because of the patient's head trauma and a calcified intracranial lesion was found and excised surgically. Pathologic evaluation of the specimen was consistent with the diagnosis of calcifying pseudoneoplasm of the neuraxis.
