Cerebral Neuroschistosomiasis Presenting as a Brain Mass.

Neuroschistosomiasis is a rare manifestation of schistosomal infections presenting with cerebral and spinal cord involvement. We reported a case of a 31-year-old woman who presented with a history of headache, dizziness, and nausea. Brain MRI with contrast showed features suggestive of brain lesion with edema, and a serology test for Schistosoma was positive.

Extensive Surgical Emphysema Following Stab Injury to the Neck.

Extensive surgical emphysema can lead to a life-threatening condition causing hemodynamic instability and significant physician challenges in its management. Here we describe an uncommon case of extensive subcutaneous emphysema caused by stabbing neck, which led to complications such as pneumothorax, pneumopericardium, pneumomediastinum as well as pneumoperitoneum. The role of radiological imaging is crucial in managing this relatively uncommon presentation.
