Ligamentum flavum hematoma in the lumbar spine mimicking spinal tumor: A case report and review of the literature.

Liagmentum flavum hematoma (LFH) is a rare cause of radiculopathy and low back pain, sharing similar symptomatology with disc herniation. It predominantly affects the lumbar thoracic spine. The underlying mechanism of LFH remains unclear; however, surgical removal of the hematoma has consistently demonstrated excellent outcomes.

Intracranial iodinated contrast medium deposits 50 years following a previous myelography: A case report and literature review.

Before the advent of CT and MRI, and since the early 1920s, myelography has been used for the diagnosis of spinal cord lesions and lumbar disc herniations. We report a case of an 86-year-old man with a migration of lipiodol in the intracranial subarachnoid spaces. The patient had undergone a myelography in the early 1970s, 50 years earlier.

Accuracy and Safety of Fluoroscopy-Assisted Transpedicular Screw Insertion in Thoracolumbar Spine Surgery: Evaluation of 122 Screws.

The objective of this study is to determine the accuracy and safety of trans-pedicular screws' insertion in the thoracolumbar spine using a fluoroscopy-assisted surgical technique. We retrospectively evaluated all patients who underwent a postoperative computed tomography scan to assess the location of the pedicular screws following thoracolumbar spinal surgery, at the Mohammed Vth Military Training Hospital-Rabat, from January 2020 to April 2022. We used Gertzbein's classification to grade pedicular cortex breaches.

Not all anosmia and fever was COVID-19 infection: a case report.

COVID-19 pandemic touch all part of world to the date more than fifteen millions of patients are infected by virus including about 1,388,926 deaths (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control an agency of the European Union). Morocco has put in place strict containment measures to control the disease and prevent the saturation of health systems. One of the great difficulties is to quickly identify asymptomatic and paucisymptomatic cases which function as an important vector of contagion.

Primary Intracranial pPNET/Ewing Sarcoma: Diagnosis, Management, and Prognostic Factors Dilemma-A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Background: Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a malignant bone tumor that is most commonly observed in the long bones, the pelvis, and the chest. Primary intracranial localization is extremely rare.

Objective: In the aim of identifying the prognostic factors of this rare localization, we conducted a systematic review of the literature for patients with primary intracranial peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor/ES.
