Primary optic nerve sheath schwannoma: A case report and literature review.

Schwannomas are benign tumors of the peripheral nervous system that arise from Schwann cells. Intracranial schwannomas most commonly arise from the vestibulocochlear nerve, followed by the fifth nerve. However, optic nerve sheath schwannomas are very rare due to the lack of Schwann cells on it.

Intraosseous Meningioma of Spheno-Orbital Localization: A Case Report.

Intracranial meningiomas are benign extra-axial brain tumors. Their etiology is undetermined and several hypotheses have been proposed to explain their genesis. The clinical symptomatology of intracranial meningiomas is atypical and varies according to the location of the lesion, its size, and its relationship with neighboring organs.

Ossifying skeletal muscle metastasis as an initial manifestation of colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Skeletal muscle metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) are very rare. They have usually been described in patients with known CRC and as a well-defined mass. In this case report, we present a unique case of diffuse and ossifying skeletal muscle metastasis as the first manifestation of CRC.

Spontaneous external jugular vein pseudoaneurysm: A rare cause of neck swelling.

Pseudoaneurysm of the external jugular vein is a relatively unusual cause of a neck mass caused by the low pressure venous system. Regardless of etiology, spontaneous pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare, and only few cases have been described in literature. They require surgery; however, most patients can be safely discharged with close follow-up with a vascular surgeon.

Ureteral Hematoma: A Case Report on Complications During Anticoagulant Therapy.

Ureteral hematoma is a rare complication occurring during anticoagulant therapy, with fewer than 10 cases reported in the literature. Bleeding complications are underestimated. They affect about 10% of patients treated with long-term anti-vitamin K (AVK).

Gayet Wernicke's encephalopathy with cortical damage following a subtotal gastrectomy: An uncommon association.

Wernicke's encephalopathy is a pathological entity caused by Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) deficiency in malnourished individuals, especially alcoholics, patients operated for digestive surgery or suffering from gastrointestinal tract's diseases or incoercible vomiting. Classically it manifests by confusion with oculomotor disorders and ataxia. However, other neurological manifestations are possible.

[Poland syndrome: about a case and review of the literature].

Poland syndrome is a rare congenital malformation associated with various degrees of thoracic and homolateral upper limb abnormalities. We report the case of a 7-year old girl who underwent exploration for depression of the left hemithorax associated with homolateral subclavicular mass. CT scan showed that the deformation of the thoracic wall was related to the absence of left pectoralis major muscle sterno-costal heads insertion associated with agenesis of the pectoralis minor muscle and hypoplasia of the anterior arches of the first six corresponding ribs.
