We report a retrospective study of 20 cases collected in the neurosurgery department at HMPIT over a 17-year period from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2016.The mean age was 47.7 years, with extremes ranging from 20 to 75 years, with a slight male predominance and a sex ratio of 1.2.An incidental finding of an arch lesion was found in 3 cases.Frontal location was the most common, accounting for 45% of cases, followed by parietal location (35%).Histological examination of the surgical specimen was carried out in all our patients, confirming our suspicion of a diagnosis.Secondary localization was common in 9 cases, with breast cancer in 2 and thyroid cancer in 2.Most of these patients reported clinical improvement following surgery or radiotherapy, and the prognosis for tumors of the vault will depend on the etiology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sameh Achoura,Hajer Hammami\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 6208060389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786208060381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Our Knowledge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Sameh Achoura","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446479401215,"sku":"9786208060381","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_35b319fe-00f0-48d6-ae67-5f16ccb457a4.jpg?v=1777224911","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tumors-of-the-cranial-vault-sameh-achoura-9786208060381","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
