Idiopathic intracranial hypertension following childbirth: a case report and management strategies.

Introduction: A postpartum headache, also known as pseudotumor cerebri, is defined as a headache and shoulder or neck pain that occur in the first 6 weeks following childbirth. Common causes of headaches during puerperium include pre-eclampsia, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral venous thrombosis, meningitis, brain tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Pseudotumor cerebri is an extremely rare cause of postpartum severe headache with visual disturbance with or without papilledema.

Paralytic Ileus as the Initial Presentation of Guillain-Barre Syndrome: A Rare Case Report.

Emerging symmetrical limb weakness, altered sensory perception, and absent or reduced deep tendon reflexes are the hallmarks of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). There are numerous studies that indicate up to two-thirds of patients with GBS may also have autonomic dysfunction. One uncommon presenting characteristic of GBS before motor weakness is evident is paralytic ileus, a sign of gastrointestinal dysautonomia.

Viber Snakebite Presenting with Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Very Rare Case Report from Somalia.

Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is an uncommon and potentially life-threatening neurological disorder that is often missed because its clinical and radiological symptoms are not specific. Snake bites are a rare cause of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis that must be recognized and treated promptly to improve survival. Here, we present a case of a 30-year-old male patient who had cerebral venous thrombosis after snake bite in the rural area of southern Somalia.

Gestational choriocarcinoma presenting with hemorrhagic venous infarct and multiple lung metastases: A case report.

Choriocarcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of gestational trophoblastic disease with a high potential for metastasis. We report the case of a 31-year-old female who presented with severe headaches, left-sided weakness, and speech difficulties. Her past medical history included a molar pregnancy, and she had elevated β-hCG levels of 200,000 mIU/mL.

A challenging case presentation of multiple system atrophy cerebellar type: A rare case report from Somalia.

Multiple system atrophy is a rare and quickly progressing neurological condition characterized by autonomic failure, parkinsonism, or cerebellar ataxia. It is classified into two subtypes: MSA with predominant parkinsonism (MSA-P) and MSA with predominant cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C). We are presenting here a 54-year-old male with parkinsonism, ataxia, and dysarthria.

Undiagnosed Epileptic Case Since Childhood of Sturge-Weber Syndrome: First Case Report from Somalia.

Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare, sporadic, progressive neurocutaneous condition that presents with congenital hamartomatous malformations, epilepsy, and a variety of facial symptoms. We discussed a rare case of an eighteen-year-old female child who came to our neurology department with status epilepticus, mental impairment, and a port-wine in the lateral left side of her face. We diagnosed Sturge-Weber syndrome after a thorough neurological and radiological evaluation.

Isolated Inferior Sagittal Sinus Thrombosis in Young Patient: Rare Case Report.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a less common type of stroke, mostly in young patients. The majority of these cases are due to thrombosis of superior sagittal sinus and transverse sinus. Isolated thrombosis of the inferior sagittal sinus is very rare.

Agitation and somnolence by bilateral paramedian thalamic infarct.

Key Clinical Message: Bilateral thalamic infarction in paramedian artery territory may present with severe acute illness, confusion, coma and memory impairment. However, subtle clinical presentation as in our case should alert the clinician to consider such a diagnosis as it can be associated with good prognosis.

Abstract: Bilateral thalamic infarct is a rare form of stroke.

Tramadol-induced intracerebral hemorrhage: A rare case report.

A previously healthy middle-aged man with no vascular risk factors developed a hemorrhagic stroke. He had been using tramadol due to erectile dysfunction for 2 years. So, the patient developed right basal ganglia due to tramadol addiction.

Lateral medullary syndrome: uncommon form of brainstem stroke.

Unlabelled: Lateral medullary syndrome (LMS) is a less common form of a brainstem stroke. It is the result of occlusion of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). It is caused by atherosclerosis, thrombosis, or emboli from another source.

Warfarin-induced isolated spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage: Rare case report.

Introduction And Importance: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is mostly associated with head trauma. Non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage is mostly due to vascular abnormalities: either hemorrhage from ruptured aneurysm or bleeding from arteriovenous malformation. Aneurysmal hemorrhage is the biggest cause in non-traumatic cases.
