Giant intracranial tuberculomas in children: An unexpected diagnosis and difficult management - About two cases and review of the literature.

Background: Giant intracranial tuberculomas are rare space-occupying lesions in the brain parenchyma, with a diameter >2.5 cm. They can mimic gliomas, meningiomas, and metastases.

Scoliosis secondary to neglected Hemivertebra: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: A hemivertebra is a congenital anomaly of the spine characterized by an incomplete vertebra resulting from a failure in the formation of the vertebral body. The significance of this article lies in the fact that early diagnosis of hemivertebra allows for personalized surgical treatment, which can enhance outcomes and prevent the development of spinal deformities and associated complications.

Case Presentation: We report on the case of a 17-year-old girl with scoliosis secondary to lumbar hemivertebra, where surgical management was very late due to parental negligence, which delayed diagnosis.

Rupture of a dermoid cyst in the subarachnoid space: a case report.

Case Presentation: A39-year-old female, with mechanical prosthetic heart valve presented with history of headache for 10 months and generalized tonicoclonic seizures.

En bloc vertebrectomy: A radical technique for spinal metastases but rarely used.

Introduction And Importance: Total vertebrectomy En bloc by posterior approach is proposed for primary or secondary single-site malignant tumors of the spine to reduce local recurrence and increase patient survival. This type of surgery is gaining increasing recognition. However, it requires a high level of technical skill and knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and biomechanics of the spine.

Contralateral epidural hematoma after decompressive surgery: Case report and systematic literature review.

Introduction: and importance: Contralateral epidural hematoma (EDH) after decompressive surgery for acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is uncommon. If unrecognized, this delayed hematoma can lead to devastating consequences.

Case Presentation: A 30-year-old patient with no past medical history, was brought to the emergency after a severe brain injury secondary to an aggression, Glasgow coma scale was 6 (E1V1 M4) with a left anisocoria.
