Epidural cavernous haemangioma during pregnancy: a case report and a literature review.

Cavernous haemangiomas are benign vascular malformations that can locate in the central nervous system. The epidural spinal location remains unusual. Pregnancy is known to be a precipitating factor.

Concomitant occurrence of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) due to mediastinal parathyroid adenoma and sublingual thyroid gland: the role of parathyroid technetium-99m-MIBI scintigraphy.

The concomitant appearance of a sublingual thyroid and primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid mediastinal adenoma is not common. This co-occurrence can lead to a misdiagnosis by morphological imaging methods alone. This case emphasizes the role of 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy in the detection of parathyroid ectopic adenoma in a patient with an ectopic thyroid gland.
