High-grade glial cancers typically arise in the cerebral hemisphere and rarely in the cerebellum. Our objective was to highlight the diagnostic features of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant high-grade gliomas in the cerebellum. We present a case of an elderly patient admitted with giddiness who was diagnosed with IDH-mutant high-grade glioma in the cerebellum, presenting as multiple lesions.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively assessed the celiac trunk variations in 1113 patients who came to our department for diagnostic CTA for liver and renal donor workup. The patient data were acquired from the Picture Archiving and Communication System of our institutions.
Background: Asymmetry between the transverse sinuses (TS) is quite common. We sought to test the possible hypothesis that certain anatomical features - namely, occipital lobe bending, Gibraltar sign of superior sagittal sinus groove (SSS) and jugular foramen (JF) dimensions - can predict dominance of the transverse sinuses on routine axial T1- and T2-weighted images.
Materials And Methods: One hundred consecutively acquired combined MRI-MRV studies of brain were reviewed.
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) is a rare variant of chronic pyelonephritis. It is characterized by progressive parenchymal destruction caused by chronic renal obstruction due to calculus, stricture, or rarely tumor, resulting in kidney function loss. Herein, we describe the case of a 36-year-old female who presented with left loin pain, left lower limb pain, and dysuria.

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a cancer, characteristically manifesting as red or purple patches of abnormal tissue growing subcutaneously around the mouth, nose, and throat. Primary musculoskeletal KS is a never reported as skeletal muscles sarcomas are first differentials. Pertaining to the musculoskeletal system complicity of KS, African and classic KS lesions are inclined to manifest lesion in the peripheral skeleton.

Methods: AP and oblique radiographs of both feet were taken.
Results: On radiographs, right foot showed eight toes and seven metatarsals while left foot showed eight toes and seven metatarsals, the three extra toes were present preaxially (on hallux side) in both feet, showing characteristics of postaxial toes termed as "mirror foot".
Pharyngocele is a rare pathology of the pharynx caused by the laxity of the thyrohyoid membrane. Only about 60 true lateral pharyngocele cases have been reported in the literature over the last 133 years. Laryngocele is a close differential, and the two are difficult to tell apart.

Deposition of excessive calcium oxalates in nephrons leads to crystallization (nephrocalcinosis) which increases risk for end-stage renal disease. We are presenting a case of primary hyperoxaluria type I confirmed with genetic studies.
