Encephaloceles consist of brain tissue and meninges that has herniated through a skull defect, usually located in the midline. They are seen more commonly in children and very rarely in adults. We present a case of an 84-year-old patient who was incidentally diagnosed with a lytic bone lesion in the right parietal intradiploic space, after computed tomography of the head was performed.

Article Synopsis
- Lingual abscess is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition characterized by severe swelling and pain in the tongue.
- Early treatment typically involves antibiotics, but if the airway gets blocked, intervention through drainage is necessary.
- The report discusses a specific case of a patient with recurrent lingual abscesses and highlights the need for further examination of causes, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Material And Methods: We describe clinical, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a patient with general paresis. MRI demonstrated cortical-subcortical atrophy and broad-coalescent high-intensity T2 lesions in right frontotemporal lobes.
Results: After intravenous penicillin therapy, the size of these lesions diminished dramatically.
