Background: Spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas (SSEHs) are exceedingly uncommon, especially in infants, with only two reported cases. Diagnosis can be delayed due to the nonspecificity of presenting symptoms.
Case Report: We present a case of SSEH in a 10-month-old boy admitted to the pediatric emergency department with a 5-day history of progressive lower extremity motor weakness.
Background: Epidermoid cysts (ECs) are rare benign tumors arising from epidermal cells, associated with congenital abnormalities or acquired through trauma, surgery, or lumbar punctures. They represent <1% of all intraspinal tumors and may be associated with limited dorsal myeloschisis (LDM).
Case Description: A 7-year-old neurologically intact male had a dorsal skin mass since birth located posteriorly in the midline of the inferior thoracic spine.
Background: Pediatric glioblastoma multiforme (p-GBM) is an exceptionally rare and aggressive brain tumor, with even fewer reported cases with radiographic and intraoperative characteristics that mimic those of extra-axial lesions, often posing a diagnostic challenge. Despite advancements in imaging technologies, the diagnosis of GBM can still be intricate, relying primarily on histopathological confirmation.
Case Description: We present a unique case of a 15-year-old female who presented to our hospital with a new-onset focal-to-bilateral tonic-clonic seizure described as clonic movements of her left hemicorps; on clinical examination, a subcutaneous mass was evident in the right parietal region.
Background: Stab wound injuries are extraordinary in the child, the thoracic and lumbar spine are the most observed. Patient could be asymptomatic and it could lead to a neurological deficit.
Case Description: We report a case of a 15-year-old boy victim of a stab wound injury with a knife.
