Article Synopsis
- A diagnosis of hemorrhagic ovarian cystadenofibroma was established after surgery, which involved detorsion and removal of the affected ovary.
- The case emphasizes the importance of quick surgical action in emergencies like ovarian torsion and the critical role of advanced imaging techniques, like MRI, in accurately diagnosing complex conditions.
Article Synopsis
- Hemophilia is a medical condition where a person has trouble stopping bleeding because their body doesn't have enough special proteins called coagulation factors.
- People with hemophilia can easily get bruises and bleeding in their joints, which can cause serious long-term problems in how their joints work.
- Doctors can diagnose hemophilia through blood tests and use MRI scans to see how the disease is affecting the bones and joints, as shown in two cases of patients with very similar symptoms.
Intestinal obstruction is a surgical emergency frequently encountered in routine practice, usually caused by abdominal adhesions. Although extra nodal lymphoma is most often localized in the gastrointestinal tract and may be responsible for intestinal obstruction, Burkitt's lymphoma is a very rare cause in adults. We report a case of Burkitt's lymphoma mimicking an intestinal obstruction in a 48-year-old adult who presented with an obstructive syndrome and altered general condition.

It is caused by a damage at the Guillain-Mollaret triangle (GMT), which is defined by three anatomical structures: the dentate nucleus, the red nucleus, and the inferior olivary nucleus (ION). Clinically, it may be revealed by palatal myoclonus.

The etiology remains largely speculative, with genetic and environmental factors being considered. The thoraco-omphalopagus type accounts for approximately 40% of cases, making it a focal point for clinical and radiological research.

- Fibrous dysplasia is a rare, non-inherited condition with two main forms: monostotic (more common) and polyostotic (rarer and often linked to a syndrome).
- The case discussed involves a 10-year-old diagnosed with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and an associated hormonal disorder (endocrinopathy).
- The report focuses on examining the clinical and imaging features related to this patient's condition.
Palatal tremor has been subdivided into essential (EPT) and symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT). Progressive ataxia and palatal tremor syndrome (PAPT) is a subgroup of symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT). It can be divided into familial and sporadic forms.

- Intracranial epidermoid cysts are benign tumors that grow slowly and usually become symptomatic around age 43, with a preference for developing in females and often found in the cerebellopontine angle.
- A 62-year-old woman experienced severe facial pain due to trigeminal neuralgia caused by an epidermoid cyst in this region, which was identified via MRI.
- While surgery is the best treatment option, it can be complicated due to the cyst's attachment to critical structures, and the patient in this case chose to avoid surgery, highlighting the need to balance treatment benefits against risks.
Article Synopsis
- Skin metastasis is an uncommon issue that can arise in patients with pulmonary carcinoma, showing a range of symptoms including skin nodules.
- A case study of a 66-year-old man highlights this rare skin manifestation and its clinical features.
- The report focuses on using ultrasound, CT, and pathology to help diagnose pulmonary carcinoma through its appearance in the skin.
