Objective: Recurrent disseminated coccidioidal meningitis in two subsequent pregnancies is rare and can pose a challenge in ensuring the health of both mother and baby. In this unique case we highlight this rare occurrence and subsequent treatment.
Case Report: A 29-year-old G4P1021 with a history of disseminated coccidioidomycosis in a previous pregnancy presented at 8 weeks gestation with nausea, headache, and neck pain.
Purpose: Coccidioidomycosis is endemic to the Southwest United States and Mexico. In this case series we describe 3 cases, occurring in the Southwest United States, of patients with disseminated coccidioidomycosis infection in cirrhosis, all with a miliary pattern present on chest imaging.
Methods: This case series was performed conducting a review of patients' electronic health records and thorough review of the literature for coccidioidomycosis infection in patients with liver disease.
Background: The use of three-dimensional (3D) printing in neurosurgery has become more prominent in recent years for surgical training, preoperative planning, and patient education.

This article provides a systematic review of 3D models in use by neurosurgical residents, with emphasis on training, learning, and simulation.
