Intracranial hemorrhage as the initial presentation of gliosarcoma in a young woman
A 23-year-old female with no significant medical history developed a headache. On the evening of the following day, the headache was accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Her mother discovered her having a seizure the following morning and brought her immediately to the ED. She had another seizure and vomited upon arrival to the ED, and shortly thereafter, she was sent for a noncontrast head CT. An MRI was acquired 2 days later. Several days after these imaging studies, the patient underwent surgery.

A classic presentation of endolymphatic sac tumor
A 20-year-old female presented with left-sided headache and progressive sensorineural hearing loss. There was also a history of chronic left-sided visual impairment. Findings on the initial head CT prompted dedicated temporal bone CT and MR imaging, and then preoperative catheter angiography. Shortly afterward, the patient underwent surgical resection of a left temporal bone tumor.
