The hydatidosis, or echinococcosis, has a characteristic geographic distribution, occurring most frequently in sheep-raising regions in Mediterranean, Central Asian, and South American countries and in Australia. Spinal hydatidosis is very rare, and intradural location is a rarer category of spinal hydatidosis. We report a case of intradural extramedullary spinal hydatid cyst in a 9-year-old boy.

Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system caused by larvae of Taenia solium. Spinal cysticercosis is an uncommon site of cysticercal infection, and isolated intramedullary involvement is even rarer. We present a case of 10-year-old girl who presented with gradual onset paraparesis with sensory loss and bowel and bladder incontinence.

Balo's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a rare inflammatory demyelinating disease of central nervous system, pathologically characterized by alternate bands of demyelination and preserved myelin tissue. Before the era of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), most cases of BCS were diagnosed on postmortem examination. MRI allows for noninvasive diagnosis by demonstrating characteristic changes which closely parallels the histopathological features of BCS.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sanna Kirmani"

  • - Sanna Kirmani's research focuses primarily on rare neurological conditions, particularly those involving parasitic infections and inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system.
  • - Her studies highlight unusual presentations of spinal diseases, such as intradural extramedullary hydatid cysts and isolated intramedullary cysticercosis, demonstrating the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis.
  • - Kirmani also addresses challenges in differentiating between conditions like sarcoidosis and tuberculosis, emphasizing the complexity of diagnosing rare medical cases in clinical practice.
