Invasive trigeminal ganglioneuroma: A case report and review of the literature.

Ganglioneuromas are rare tumors arising from retroperitoneal and posterior mediastinal sympathetic nerves. Intracranial trigeminal nerve ganglioneuromas are even more rare, with only seven cases reported to date. We present a case of a 65-year-old male with a right-sided throbbing headache type and blindness in his right eye.

Distinct Imaging Markers of Leigh's Disease Linked to SURF1 Mutation: A Pediatric Case Study.

BACKGROUND Leigh disease (LD) is a rare progressive mitochondrial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by subacute necrotizing encephalopathy and symmetrical spongiform lesions in the brain. Cytochrome C oxidase deficiencies due to SURF1 Cytochrome C Oxidase Assembly Factor (SURF1) gene mutations are seen only in 15% of LD cases. Consideration of these genetic mutations in young patients is crucial for early diagnosis, intervention, and further genetic counseling.

Ruptured splenic abscess causing pneumoperitoneum: a rare cause revisited.

We present a case report of splenic abscess causing pneumoperitoneum in a case of uncontrolled diabetes. The patient presented with chronic pain abdomen and fever which later evolved to acute abdomen during the course of hospital stay. An X-ray showed pneumoperitoneum and exploratory laparotomy was performed under a strong clinical suspicion of hollow viscus perforation.
