Cystic lymphangioma of the upper limb: Clinical case and literature review.

We report an observation of a macro- and microcystic lymphatic malformation located in the right upper limb. This was a 5-year-old girl with no previous pathological history, followed since the age of 11 months for a congenital subcutaneous, painless and soft swelling of the right upper limb. Ultrasound of the soft tissue and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allowed the diagnosis of macro- and microcystic lymphatic malformation of the right upper limb.

[Septo optic dysplasia plus: about a case].

Septo optic dysplasia plus is a rare disease seen in children. Its diagnosis is radiological, based on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We report the case of a child aged 2 years and 4 months, with no particular pathological history; who consulted for psychomotor retardation, strabismus and low vision behavior.

Post-traumatic biloma intrahepatic a rare complication of closed abdominal trauma: A case report.

Post-traumatic hepatic biloma is a rare complication of closed trauma of the abdomen. Generally, biloma occurs spontaneously or secondary to traumatic or iatrogenic injury to the biliary system. It can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if not diagnosed promptly and properly managed.

Chiari type III malformation: Case report and review of literature.

Chiari III (CM III) is the rarest of the Chiari malformations, characterized by high cervical or occipital encephalocele and osseous defects, associated with herniation of the posterior cerebral fossa contents through the foramen magnum. We report the case of a female newborn, with a cervico-occipital mass, hypotonia and sharp osteotendinous reflexes in the lower limbs. An MRI was performed showing a low occipital encephalocele with caudal displacement of cerebellar tonsils.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome revealing Takayasu's arteritis in a child.

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is a rare complication of Takayasu's Arteritis. We report the case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with a tonic-clonic seizure and loss of consciousness, without fever. Imaging revealed characteristic white matter edema of the occipital and parietal lobes, in keeping with PRES.

[Gayet-Wernicke encephalopathy with normal thiamine level: a case report].

Gayet-Wernicke encephalopathy is a neuropsychiatric emergency due to thiamine deficiency (vitamin B1), secondary to several factors. We here report a case of Gayet-Wernicke encephalopathy in a 43-year-old woman who didn't consume alcoholic beverages, presenting with disorders of consciousness and diplopia with normal thiamine level. Classic triad of symptoms and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) played an important role, in particular, in the diagnosis of Gayet-Wernicke encephalopathy with normal thiamine levels in the absence of alcohol abuse.

[False aneurysm of the palmar arch in a child: a case report].

Superficial pseudoaneurysms of the palmar arch is a rare disorder and only a few cases have been described in the literature. In the majority of cases it develops after artery lesion following penetrating injury, previous surgery or arterial puncture. Diagnosis is based on strong clinical suspicion, especially in patients with pulsatile mass.

[A rare cause of mechanical occlusion in children: a case report].

Gastrointestinal (GI) bezoars are aggregates of undigested material found in the GI tract. Trichobezoar is the most common type of bezoars and consists of ingested hair, carpet fibers or fitted carpet fibers. They are mainly located in the gastric region, rare forms extend to the duodenum or small intestine and are described as Rapunzel syndrome.

Morel-Lavallee Syndrome: A Rare Tumefactive Lesion.

Unlabelled: First described by the French surgeon Maurice Morel-Lavallee in 1853, Morel-Lavallee syndrome (MLS) is a serolymphatic effusion resulting from tangential injury to richly vascularized tissues. The imaging characteristics may be variable over time due to lesion progression and the eventual organization of a fibrous capsule. We report a case of extensive MLS in the lower leg of a 12-year-old child.

[Sturge-Weber syndrome: about a case].

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) or encephalofacial angiomatosis is a rare neurocutaneous and congenital ocular syndrome. It can cause two malformations: congenital facial capillary planar angioma and leptomeningal venous-capillary angioma (most often parieto-occipital homolateral angioma). Neuroimaging, in particular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), plays an important role in the diagnosis, ideally before the occurrence of neuro-ocular complications.

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas: a rare entity in children.

Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) constitute 0.2 to 2.7% of non-endocrine primary tumors of the pancreas and comprise the majority (70%) of pediatric pancreatic neoplasms.

[Not Available].

Diastematomyelia is a rare spinal dysraphism in which the spinal cord and its content are split. Two types of diastematomyelia have been described. We report the case of a 12 year old male patient presenting with reduced lower limb muscle strength without associated sphincteric disorders.
