Is vestibular schwannoma really a benign tumor? Case report and review.

Introduction: Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign tumor that develops from Schwann cells of the eighth cranial pair, mainly in the cerebellopontine angle.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 30-year-old female patient who developed left otalgia associated with neglected tinnitus, the evolution of which was marked by the development of a static cerebellar syndrome and a behavioral disorder, whose brain MRI revealed a locally advanced process in the cerebellopontine angle at the expense of the vestibulocochlear nerve, in favor of a VS, complicated by involvement of the tonsils, which unfortunately led to the patient's death.

Discussion: VS, formerly known as acoustic neuroma, is an extra-axial intracranial tumor that accounts for over 80% of pontocerebellar angle tumors, and is secondary in the majority of cases to inactivation of the neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor gene, either by mutation of the NF2 gene or loss of chromosome 22q.

A cerebral lymphoma mimicking a meningioma: case report.

Introduction: Cerebral lymphoma is a rare and aggressive brain tumor. It accounts for 1% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) and 2% of all brain tumors. Untreated brain lymphoma has a very poor prognosis, with an overall life expectancy of around 1.

Diagnostic criteria for myocarditis on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging: an educational review.

Acute myocarditis represents one of the most mysterious acute cardiovascular diseases due to the great diversity of its clinical presentation, ranging from simple symptoms such as flu-like syndrome to lethal conditions such as cardiogenic shock or sudden cardiac death. The diagnosis will be suspicious in the presence of chest pain in a subject with risk factors, and guided mainly by the ECG, biological markers, trans-thoracic echocardiography, and the cardiac MRI. In this sense, and returning to the pathophysiological bases of this condition, the positive diagnosis will rely mainly on the detection of tissue abnormalities secondary to the myocardial inflammatory storm.

Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig tumor: A tricky tumor case report.

Introduction And Importance: Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCT) are a rare sex cord-stromal tumors, accounting for <0,2 % of all ovarian malignancies. As these tumors are found at an early stage in young women, the whole management dilemma is finding the right balance between a treatment efficient enough to prevent recurrences but that still enables fertility-sparing.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 17 years old patient hospitalized in the oncology and gynecology ward of the university hospital Ibn Rochd in Casablanca, presenting a moderately differentiated Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor in the right ovary, our aim is to analyze the clinical, radiological and histological characteristics of this rare tumor that can be tricky to diagnose and review the different management therapies available and the challenges they present.

Atypical adnexal mass misdiagnosed as an ovarian tumor revealing a bilateral tubal cancer. Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Primary epithelial cancers of the tube are a rare entity. They represent less than 2 % of gynecological tumors and are dominated by adenocarcinoma. Due to its proximity to the uterus and the ovary, the diagnosis of tubal cancer is very difficult to confirm, frequently misdiagnosed as a benign ovarian or tubal pathology.

Twin pregnancy combining complete hydatidiform mole and healthy fetus: Case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Twin pregnancy combining a complete mole and a normal fetal pregnancy with its own healthy trophoblast is a rare entity. A partial molar pregnancy almost always ends in miscarriage due to a triploid fetus.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 43-year-old female patient admitted for bleeding during the 20th week of pregnancy.

Atypical presentation of preeclampsia. Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Atypical pre-eclampsia cases are those that develop before 20 weeks of gestation and after 48 h after delivery and or have some of the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia without the usual hypertension or proteinuria which make them difficult to diagnose.

Case Presentation: Our aim is to report a case of atypical preeclampsia (before week 20 of gestation) associated with a HELLP syndrome and analyze the clinical features of atypical forms, assess differential diagnosis and highlight the progress in biochemical and biophysical markers that may help with diagnosis.

Clinical Discussion: Severe early pre-eclampsia (before 32 weeks of pregnancy) is associated with a risk of maternal mortality 20 times higher than after 37 weeks, and a higher risk of perinatal complications.
