Attempts at body contour modifications have led to the use of different alloplastic materials that can irreversibly damage health and risk patients' lives. These modeling substances can induce a general autoimmune inflammatory response, producing a very heterogeneous clinical spectrum ranging from mild and severe systemic to local symptoms that sometimes affect peripheral nerves. We report a unique case of a tumor-like sciatic nerve impairment produced months after the injection of a modeling substance into the buttocks for esthetic purposes.

- Cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) is caused by compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, leading to pain, weakness, and numbness in the hand and forearm; this study examines Quality of Life (QoL) after surgery for CuTS.
- The research included 62 patients, who completed various questionnaires to assess their outcomes; findings showed a median Bishop's score indicating excellent results in over half of the cases, while EQ-5D-5L results indicated good QoL for most patients.
- The conclusion highlights that surgical decompression effectively reduces symptoms and improves QoL, with factors like body mass index and symptom duration significantly influencing patient satisfaction post-surgery.*
Background: Although attributing the origin of schwannomas from the olfactory nerve is nearly impossible, if they do not have Schwann cells, intracranial supratentorial schwannomas are mainly located in the anterior skull base.
Case Description: We present the case of a 46-year-old female who presented with right tinnitus, dizziness, and bifrontal headache, progressive, starting 2 years before. Imaging studies revealed an incidentally neoplastic, extraaxial, homogeneously appearing tumor on the right anterior skull base.
