Navigating the neurovascular maze of trigeminal neuralgia.

Tic douloureux, also known as trigeminal neuralgia, is distinguished by recurrent episodes of severe, lancinating pain that affects one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve, representing a prevalent pain syndrome. This condition has an annual incidence rate of 27 per 100,000 individuals. Nevertheless, direct compression caused by vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) represents a considerably less frequent etiology of trigeminal neuralgia, with an estimated overall incidence of about 1%.

Fahr's disease is a rare neurological disorder which is characterized by the presence of abnormal, symmetrical, and bilateral calcifications within the basal ganglia and other cerebral areas. Seizures are 1 of the symptoms that may aid in its diagnosis. Fahr's disease is diagnosed in adults mostly.

Challenging the giant: A case report on a huge sacrococcygeal chordoma and its radiological insights.

Sacral chordoma is a rare osseous tumor of malignant origin. Remnants of the notochord in the region of sacrum and coccyx is said to be the origin of these tumors. Patients generally have delayed presentation, which is responsible for larger tumor size.

Venolymphatic malformation (VLM) manifestation in the knee: An uncommon encounter.

An uncommon congenital disorder known as venolymphatic malformation (VLM) of the knee develops from improper venous and lymphatic system development. It is a specific kind of vascular abnormality that affects lymphatic and veins, causing abnormal growth and dilation of these vessels. These types of malformations do not directly connect to the main channels but instead appear as swelling or other characteristic features depending on the specific type of malformation.

A rare case of solitary intraosseous neurofibroma of the mandible with radiological insights.

Neurofibromas (NF), rare benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors, are typically linked to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). This case report presents a rare instance of a neurofibroma located in the mandible of a 12-year-old male patient, who presented with localized swelling and discomfort in the lower jaw. Clinical examination revealed a firm, nontender mass on palpation.
