Primary Calvarial Lymphoma: A Case Report.

Calvarial lymphoma is radiologically similar in many respects to meningiomas, solid fibrous tumours, osteomyelitis, and metastatic carcinomas. Even though it is an extremely rare phenomenon, the initial suspicion and detection of calvarial lymphoma are paramount to establishing a correct diagnosis which helps to determine an appropriate management strategy. We present an illustrative rare case of primary calvarial lymphoma along with a literature review focusing on the best management strategy for this rare entity.

Dermoid Cyst in the Posterior Fossa Associated With Dermal Sinus and Abscess Formation: A Case Report.

Posterior fossa dermoid cysts are rare intracranial tumors. Most are congenital and develop during early pregnancy but manifest later in life. We report a case of a congenital posterior fossa dermoid cyst in a 22-year-old patient presenting with fever and multiple neurological complaints.

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome Following Intracranial Hypotension Due to Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Leakage: A Report of Two Cases.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in cases of intracranial hypotension is a life-threatening condition. Early suspicion, appropriate treatment, and tight control of possible contributing factors that may facilitate PRES in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak patients may bring a more favorable outcome, lowering the morbidity and mortality rate. Two cases of PRES with features of intracranial hypotension are presented.

Pneumocephalus resulting from chest infection complicated by pleural-subarachnoid fistula.

Pleural-subarachnoid fistula is a rare type of Cerebrospinal fluid fistula with less than 60 cases reported in the literature. Here we present a case of 55-year-old female patient, known case of acute myeloid leukemia on chemotherapy, who developed pleural-subarachnoid fistula due to invasive atypical apical lung fungal infection. All of the reported cases in the literature were secondary to trauma or post-surgery.

Atypical haemorrhagic colloid cyst: 2 case reports surgical management and review of literature.

Introduction: Colloid cysts are benign cystic lesions located at the anterior part of the third ventricle mostly at the foramen of Monro and contain colloid material. Hemorrhage in a colloid cyst is exceedingly rare. Only 15 clinically diagnosed cases of haemorrhagic cysts were reported in the literature and 5 more cases on autopsy.

A rare case of Erdheim-Chester disease in the breast.

Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is rare non-Langerhans histiocytosis with distinctive radiologic and pathologic entities. We report a rare case of which ECD was involving the breast with only eight similar cases reported in the English literature. Our patient was a 52-year-old female patient with ECD involving the breast, mesentery, left kidney, retroperitoneum and the skeleton.

Stability and sensitivity of water T obtained with IDEAL-CPMG in healthy and fat-infiltrated skeletal muscle.

Quantifying muscle water T (T -water) independently of intramuscular fat content is essential in establishing T -water as an outcome measure for imminent new therapy trials in neuromuscular diseases. IDEAL-CPMG combines chemical shift fat-water separation with T relaxometry to obtain such a measure. Here we evaluate the reproducibility and B sensitivity of IDEAL-CPMG T -water and fat fraction (f.

Prognostic value of mammographic breast density in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Breast density is a modifiable trait linked with breast cancer predisposition. However, the relation between mammographic breast density and survival outcome is not yet clarified. The present study aims to study the prognostic value of mammographic density in patients diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.
