Intracranial solitary ostheochondroma: case report and literature review

Osteochondromas are relative rare tumors involving the intracranial space. When present, they are often localized at the skull base because their origin generally comes from the synchondrosis of the skull base. We must suspect the presence of an osteochondroma whenever a patient presents symptoms of high intracranial pressure associated with a calcified mass, which is seen as a high and low density image at the CT scan.
