Article Synopsis
- Chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids is an inflammatory syndrome that affects multiple brain structures, presenting with various neurological symptoms like ataxia and dysarthria, which complicates diagnosis due to their episodic nature.
- A case study of a 74-year-old man revealed that his symptoms were linked to brain lesions showing T-cell infiltration, while also having a diagnosis of primary lung cancer.
- Treatment with high-dose glucocorticoids led to significant clinical and radiographic improvement, underscoring the importance of recognizing this syndrome despite its diagnostic challenges.*
Endovascular treatment of broad-necked bifurcation aneurysms remains challenging. Stent-assisted coiling has been successful but requires catheterization of the branches off the parent vessel. We present the case of a patient who failed primary and stent-assisted coiling of a large basilar tip aneurysm because the morphology of the aneurysm precluded successful distal catheterization of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) branches.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFChondromyxoid fibroma is an uncommon benign cartilaginous tumor accounting for less than 1% of all bone tumors. The classic site of involvement is the metaphyseal region of long tubular bones, usually presenting in the second to third decades of life with nonspecific pain and swelling of the affected part. This case is an interesting incidental finding in a juvenile hallux abductovalgus deformity with no prodrome, eccentrically located in the diaphysis of the first metatarsal.
