Postpartum Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome Presenting with Radiological Plethora.

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a clinicoradiological syndrome characterized by segmental vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries with resolution in most patients within 1 to 3 months. It has been known to be a benign uniphasic reversible illness but cases of fulminant RCVS with mortality have also been reported. The symptoms can be varied with presentations like transient ischemic attack (TIA), ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES).

Isolated Primary MDR Tuberculosis of a Lumbar Spinous Process, in an Immunocompetent Patient, Mimicking a Spinal Tumour.

Spinal tuberculosis (STB) accounts for a large proportion of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. STB usually begins in the peri-discal region of the vertebral bodies and isolated involvement of the posterior elements of the spine is very rare. MDR-TB is a global concern and has been described from patients with spinal tuberculosis as well.
