Dorsal medullary cavernous hemangioma presenting as obstinate hiccups and its surgical treatment: illustrative case.

Background: Hiccups are characterized by involuntary, intermittent, repetitive, myoclonic, and spasmodic contractions of the diaphragm. Hiccups are termed "intractable" when they last for over 1 month.

Observations: A rare case of intractable hiccups due to an uncommon location of cavernous hemangioma in the dorsal medulla is illustrated.

A rare case of intramedullary tuberculosis with paraparesis.

Intramedullary tuberculoma (IMT) is considered to be a rare form of spinal tuberculosis (TB). Overall, TB of the central nervous system accounts for approximately 1% of all cases of TB and 50% of these involve the spine. The clinical presentation of spinal intramedullary TB is similar to an intramedullary spinal cord tumor mass.

A rare case of calvarial tuberculosis in post-COVID-19 scenario.

Isolated calvarial involvement with tuberculosis (TB) is a very rare entity, with the incidence of only 0.01% of all patients with mycobacterial infections. The factors attributable could be malnutrition, poor socioeconomic conditions, and immunodeficiency syndromes.

Vertebral Pneumatocyst-A Systematic Review.

Background: Intraosseous pneumatocyst refers to gas-filled cystic lesions inside bone. Whereas ilium and sacrum are the commonest locations for pneumatocysts, vertebral pneumatocysts are rare. Various theories have been proposed to explain the etiopathogenesis of vertebral pneumatocysts and the most widely accepted theory is the extension of air from intervertebral disc or joint spaces into the pneumatocyst cavity.

Enlarging cervical vertebral pneumatocyst - A case report.

Intraosseous pneumatocyst refers to gas-filled cystic lesions inside bone. Vertebral pneumatocysts are rare and most have been described to remain static over time. We report a rare case of an enlarging spinal pneumatocyst.

"An unusual presentation of colonic mucormycosis mimicking carcinoma colon- a surgeon's perspective".

Introduction: Mucormycosis caused by order mucorales, an ubiquitous saprophytic mold found in soil and organic matter worldwide, is a rare but invasive opportunistic fungal infection. Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is the most uncommon clinical presentation being particularly rare, accounted for 4-7% of all cases.

Presentation Of Case: We report an unusual presentation of mucormycosis of ascending colon that was simulating carcinoma colon.
