Remote supratentorial intraparenchymal bleed after posterior fossa surgery: A rare occurrence.

Background: Intraparenchymal hemorrhage at the operative site is one of the major complications of brain surgery. It is unusual to occur at a site remote from the operative site, but when it happens, it may cause significant morbidity and mortality.

Case Description: We report the case of a 27-year-old male who presented with complaints of paresthesias over the left side of his face and decreased hearing from the left ear for two years.

Rhinocerebral mucormycosis (RCM): To study the clinical spectrum and outcome of 61 cases of RCM managed at a tertiary care center in India.

Background: Mucormycosis is a life-threatening infection of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavities that can easily spread to the orbit and the brain. It is caused by fungi of the family Mucoraceae. We present a case series of 61 patients diagnosed and treated for rhinocerebral mucormycosis (RCM) at a single tertiary health care center.

Degenerated intervertebral disc prolapse and its association of collagen I alpha 1 Spl gene polymorphism: A preliminary case control study of Indian population.

Background: Degenerated disc disease (DDD) is a common disorder responsible for increased morbidity in a productive age group. Its etiology is multifactorial and genetic factors have been predominantly implicated. Disc prolapse results due to tear in the annulus, which is a fibrous structure composed largely of type I collagen.

Spondylocostal dysostosis with lipomyelomeningocele: Case report and review of the literature.

Spondylocostal dysostosis (SCDO) is rare anomaly caused due to flawed embryological development of the axial skeleton during preliminary stages of gravidity, characterized by malformed vertebral column and ribs, abridged thorax and kyphoscoliosis. This entity was also reported as a "Jarcho-Levin syndrome" eponym by erstwhile authors, before the introduction of genetic based classification. A literature review showed only three cases of this clinical entity with lipomyelomeningocele.
