Osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma versus osteofibrous dysplasia in children: A case report of challenging diagnosis.

Introduction: Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) and Osteofibrous dysplasia-like Adamantinoma have a similar appearance both in clinical and radiography, but different in its histopathology. Despite this similarity, the treatment and prognosis are different, therefore the diagnosis should be established precisely.

Case Illustration: A three-year-old boy was admitted to hospital after falling on his lower leg.

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in the cervical spine without neurological deficit - A Case report.

Introduction: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), or Forestier disease, is a condition characterized by calcification and ossification of ligaments and enthuses (ligament and tendon insertion sites), which mainly affect the vertebral column. The clinical manifestation of DISH is variable. Some patients can be completely asymptomatic, whereas others can complain of painful stiffness, decreased range of movement, and myelopathy symptoms.

Anterior debridement and fusion using expandable mesh cage only for the treatment of paraparese due to spondylitis tuberculosis: A case report.

Introduction: There is a controversy in the recent literature regarding the most appropriate approach to treat spondylitis tuberculosis, whether to choose anterior, posterior, and combined approach as well as one-stage versus two-stage approach. Mesh cage has potential advantages, including inhibition of infection by fusion and reconstruction technique combined with corpectomy. Anterior surgery has advantage as it allows direct access to the diseased vertebral bodies and intervertebral disc.
