Neurological complications of giant cell arteritis: A study of 15 cases and a review of the literature.

Background: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is considered a neuro-ophthalmologic emergency. New-onset headache in patients aged 50 years and above with elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate should prompt evaluation for GCA.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of 15 patients presenting with GCA from 1991 to 2008 at the Mohamed V Military hospital at Rabat and Avicenne Military hospital of Marrakech.

Clinicoradiological and prognostic features of COVID-19-associated acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.

Introduction: The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a spark in interest in the subject given the high exposure rate to viral antigens in the form of infections and vaccines. It is expected that acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) cases see a rise in incidence during this period. Given the plethora of Covid-19-related central nervous system (CNS) involvement, it is important to be aware of the varied presentations of ADEM.

Accessory spinal nerve damage during a cervical lymph node biopsy: case report.

The lesion of the accessory spinal nerve is often of iatrogenic origin. We report the case of an injury after a right jugulocarotid lymph node biopsy. A 30-year-old patient was referred for the treatment of right cervical lymphadenopathy suspected of tuberculosis.

[A case of bronchopulmonary sequestration].

Introduction: Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by the presence of a non-functioning mass of lung tissue which receives an aberrant arterial supply from systemic circulation.

Case Report: We describe the case of a 30-year-old man who presented with recurrent episodes of mild hemoptysis. CT angiography revealed a right inferior lobar sequestration supplied by three systemic arteries.

[Probable post-traumatic aneurism of ascending thoracic aorta: about a case].

Thoracic aortic aneurysms are relatively rare. Etiologies are dominated by atherosclerosis, elastic tissue dystrophies and trauma. We report the case of a 50-year old patient with a personal history of severe chest trauma occurring at age 25 years during parachute training.
