A case report of labyrinthine infarction: a 'central' cause of vertigo with 'peripheral' presentation.

Introduction And Importance: The inner ear is considered an 'end organ' since its vascular supply comes from one terminal artery, making the labyrinth especially vulnerable to ischemia, causing loss of auditory and vestibular function with variable clinical patterns according to the different arterial distribution in the inner ear and which vascular branches are concerned by the embolism.

Case Presentation: We report a misleading case of central vascular vertigo caused by a labyrinthine infarction resulting from an embolic vertebral artery, which manifested in a typical peripheral clinical presentation mimicking a vestibular neuritis.

Clinical Discussion: Vertigo is the result of asymmetrical responses from the vestibules of both ears resulting from any disruption along the complex vestibular pathways, whether peripheral or central.

Intra-Parotid Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Following Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy: A Case Report.

Introduction: Intra-parotid metastasis refers to the spread of cancerous cells from a primary tumor to the lymph nodes within the parotid gland.

Internal jugular vein cavernous hemangioma occurring as lateral neck mass: Case report.

Introduction: Cavernous hemangioma is a venous malformation that occurs throughout the entire body but is rarely localized in internal jugular vein, to the best of our knowledge our case is the first case reported in the literature.

Case Report: We report a case of internal jugular vein cavernous hemangioma in a 62-year-old woman and review the literature concerning the clinical features, radiological appearance, histopathological findings and treatment options.

Discussion: Internal jugular vein cavernous hemangioma, is a very rare tumor composed of large dilated blood vessels and containing large blood-filled spaces.

Acute pulmonary embolism mimicking COVID-19 pneumonia.

The case of 21-year-old man with an asthma history from childhood presenting severe respiratory distress associated with a right lower thoracic pain has been studied. The non-contrast Computed Tomography (CT)-chest scan showed a basal ground-glass opacity (GGO) of the right lung leading to suspicion of COVID-19 pneumonia. However, the molecular Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test and blood serology were negative while laboratory analyses revealed high levels of D-dimers (D-D).

A unique association of bifacial weakness, paresthesia and vestibulocochlear neuritis as post-COVID-19 manifestation in pregnant women: a case report.

SARS-CoV-2 is an infection due to a novel virus belonging to the coronavirus family. Since December 2019, first human cases of COVID-19 have been identified in Wuhan (China) and rapidly has been progressed to a global pandemic declared by the world health organization (WHO) on March 11 2020. The major complication of COVID-19, is pneumonia, but other presentations like cardiovascular and neurological complications have been reported.

Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting with an unusual horizontal Nystagmus and vertigo.

Neurological presentation of paraneoplastic syndromes is rare. They are often difficult to diagnose, especially when they precede the diagnosis of cancer. Hodgkin's lymphoma is associated with several paraneoplastic neurological syndromes such as cerebellar degeneration and dermato/polymyositis.

The impact of diabetes mellitus on outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery: a nested case-control study.

Background: Given the immune impairment associated with diabetes mellitus (DM), its impact on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a potentially relevant concern; however, it has not been well-studied. A single retrospective study reported worse postoperative quality of life outcomes in DM patients with CRS. Our study evaluated the effect of comorbid DM on outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) using a prospective study design.

Clinical predictors of neo-osteogenesis in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

Background: Neo-osteogenesis of the paranasal sinuses is a radiologic finding of unclear clinical significance. Although current evidence suggests that these bony changes represent an inflammatory response rather than an infectious osteitis, bacteria associated with the sinonasal mucosa may induce inflammatory mediators as a mechanism of neo-osteogenesis. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine whether there is an association between bacteria isolated on sinus culture and neo-osteogenesis, and (2) to identify other predictive factors for neo-osteogenesis.
