Pain in the back after a brain trauma-The revelation of a spinal subdural hematoma: A case report with a literature review.

Traumatic spinal subdural hematoma is a rare condition mostly favored by an anticoagulation therapy, a traumatic lumbar puncture, a hematologic disease, or an epidural anesthesia. This pathological condition can be subtle or be at the origin of a compression of the spinal cord and the rootlets resulting in an irreversible damage if an emergent surgery is not performed. We report the case of a 45-year-old man who has been a victim of a brain trauma which resulted in a cerebral edema.

Achilles swelling and ataxia in an adolescent: A case report of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare hereditary disease characterized by a bile acid metabolic problem that causes cholesterol metabolites to accumulate in various organs. There are 2 types of CTX: traditional and spinal. The imaging characteristics are usual and allow for diagnosis confirmation.

Breast tuberculosis: A forgotten diagnosis.

Breast tuberculosis is a rare entity even in endemic countries. It is often considered as a diagnostic conundrum given the non-specific clinical and imaging characteristics. Therefore, the definitive diagnosis is based on the identification of bacilli by microbiological or histopathological examination.

[Plexiform cervical neurofibroma: about a case].

Plexiform neurofibroma is a rare benign tumor of the peripheral nerves involving the conjunctiva cells of the perineurium. It is pathognomonic of neurofibromatosis type1 (NF1 or Von Recklinghausen disease). MRI is a great help in the diagnosis of this pathology.

An unusual presentation of neurosarcoidosis with progressive hearing loss.

[Fahr syndrome secondary to primary hypoparathyroidism: about a case].

Fahr syndrome is a rare anatomo-clinic disease whose most common cause is primary or postoperative hypoparathyroidism. It is characterized by bilateral and symmetrical intracerebral calcifications located in the central gray nuclei, most often associated with phosphocalcium metabolism disorders. We here report the case of a 54-year old patient who had been treated for primary hypoparathyroidism for 20 years, presenting with amnesic disorders revealing Fahr syndrome secondary to hypoparathyroidism.

[Pseudo-tumoral Aspergillus rhinosinusitis of dental origin].

Introduction: Sinonasal aspergillosis is caused by the interaction between the sinonasal mucosa with a cosmopolite fungus (Aspergillus), it is on the increase, this is an infection whose evolution is unpredictable requiring early diagnosis and appropriate support. We report a case of Aspergillus rhinosinusitis of dental origin in pseudo-tumoral form with a review of the literature.

Clinical Case: A 31 years-old, women, consulted for a right nasal obstruction with purulent rhinorrhea after dental treatment.

[Pneumomediastinum: an aspect of pulmonary barotrauma during mechanical ventilation of acute respiratory distress syndrome].

Mechanical ventilation is a fundamental treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Despite compliance with the recommendations of protective mechanical ventilation, it can results in serious complications including the pulmonary barotrauma. This is often manifested by a pneumothorax.

[Association of ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebral stroke due to severe envenomation by the Sahara horned viper (Cerastes cerastes)].

Viper envenomation can cause complex disorders of hemostasis. These disorders usually lead to hemorrhagic syndrome. The occurrence of thrombosis is exceptional.
