Todo médico durante su preparación debe considerar no hacer daño a los pacientes. La simulación en el área quirúrgica es una herramienta importante para una adecuada formación del especialista. La especialidad de Neurocirugía requiere que el residente tenga adecuadas habilidades quirúrgicas como realización de suturas simples quirúrgicas para cierre adecuado de heridas y prácticas de microcirugía para tratamiento de patologías complejas en neurocirugía como clipaje de aneurismas. Dichas habilidades quirúrgicas no deben ser aprendidas en el paciente sino previamente en modelos anatómicos sintéticos. Existen estudios que refieren que el tiempo operatorio prolongado puede conllevar a complicaciones con el paciente, especialmente las infecciones de sitio operatorio, es por eso que el especialista en neurocirugía debe tener una adecuada formación para evitar este tipo de c...

Rosai-Dorfman Disease  is a rare disorder of unknown etiology. Intracranial presentation is even rarer and often mimics the appearance of a meningioma on neuroimaging. Here we present the case of a 38-year-old male patient admitted for an intracranial, extra-axial, supratentorial tumor associated with mild neurological deficit; the presumptive diagnosis was convexity meningioma. After surgery, the definitive histological diagnosis was informed as intracranial Rosai-Dorfman Disease.The differential diagnosis of any extra-axial intracranial lesion suggestive of a meningioma should include intracranial Rosai-Dorfman Disease due to the similarities on clinical presentation and neuroimaging.
