Classic central nervous system Hodgkin lymphoma masquerading as left sphenoid wing meningioma- A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma with an incidence of 2-3 cases per 100,000 population affects the Central Nervous System in 0.02 % of cases (Gerstner et al., 2008; Brice et al.

Upper Thoracic Spine (D2-D3) Fracture With Unilateral Lock Facets Without Associated Neurological Deficits: Case Report & Literature Review.

Introduction: Upper thoracic spine fractures are rare as compared to other spine segments due to anatomical landmarks. If they occur, they are usually associated with paraplegia or any other neurological dysfunction. We report upper thoracic fracture without neurological dysfunction which is a rare entity along with its radiological imaging, and management plan.

Role of albumin-induced volume expansion therapy for cerebral vasospasm in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: A systematic review.

Objectives: This study reviews the effect of albumin-induced volume expansion therapy on symptomatic vasospasm and clinical outcome in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

Materials And Methods: Computer searches carried out from the Scopus, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Internet documents; hand searching of medical journals; and review of reference lists. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) and observational studies (OSs) comparing albumin therapy in combination or alone with crystalloid therapy for the treatment of cerebral vasospasm in aSAH were included in the study.

Onyx Embolization of Distal Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm in a Patient with Nontraumatic Subdural Hematoma.

Distal cortical middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm is a rare entity. Despite the challenging procedure, the role of endovascular treatment is emerging due to its safety and efficacy in obliterating the microaneurysm. We report a 25-year-old male, who presented with a history of dizziness and headache for almost 2 weeks.

Obstructive hydrocephalus and facial nerve palsy secondary to vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia: Case Report.

Background: Symptomatic hydrocephalus due to vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia is a rare occurrence.

Case Description: We report a patient who presented with acute confusion and vomiting. Neuroimaging revealed elongated and tortuous basilar artery indenting and elevating the floor of third ventricle causing obstructive hydrocephalus.

Prolonged bradycardia, asystole and outcome of high spinal cord injury patients: Risk factors and management.

Background: High spinal cord injury (HSCI) is one of the devastating traumatic injuries. 80% of these patients are young male, and 93% will have major neurological disabilities. There is a paucity of literature about prolonged bradycardia in HSCI patients.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome and closed head injury: A case report and review.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare, but potentially lethal neurological emergency. Fifty percent of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients will have emotional disorders and post-traumatic agitations. Haloperidol is a neuroleptic antipsychotic medication commonly used in the traumatic brain injury patients due to its advantage of no effect on respiration and conscious level.

Pilomyxoid astrocytoma of the cerebellum.

Pilomyxoid astrocytomas (PMAs) are low-grade (WHO Grade II) tumors for which the imaging features are similar to pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs), but for which histological features and the clinical course differ. They are classified as a variant of PA. They have only been recently recognized, and they behave more aggressively than PAs.
