Femoral hydatid cyst: A rare localization of bone echinococcosis: A case report.

Echinococcosis, or hydatid disease, is an endemic disease that affects many regions worldwide and remains a significant public health issue in areas with high endemicity. It is caused by an infection with the dog tapeworm *Echinococcus granulosus*, which is transmitted to humans either through direct contact with dogs or by ingesting contaminated food. This disease primarily affects internal organs, particularly the liver and lungs.

Chronic vomiting revealing Joubert syndrome: A case report.

Joubert syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the presence of the molar tooth sign on imaging. We report the case of a 5-year-old girl diagnosed with Joubert syndrome during the investigation of chronic vomiting. The patient presented with neuropsychomotor delay, a history of neonatal respiratory disorders, and hydrocephalus treated with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

Mycotic aortic aneurysm secondary to spondylodiscitis: A case report and review.

Mycotic aneurysms are a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of infections, particularly those involving the spine. Spondylodiscitis, a bacterial or fungal infection of the intervertebral disc, is a known risk factor for the development of mycotic aneurysms. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

MRI diagnosis of a juvenile leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter: A rare case report from Morocco and literature review.

Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter is a new autosomal recessive inherited disorder disease entity. It is a chronic disease with a progressive course and episodes of exacerbation, the prevalence of which is still unknown. This disease usually occurs in children and is rare, particularly in the non-Caucasian population.

Intradiploic epidermoid cyst in the skull: Case report and systematic review.

Intradiploic epidermoid cysts are rare, benign tumors, accounting for less than 1% of all intracranial tumors. Due to their scarcity, we are reporting a case of an intradiploic epidermoid cyst and reviewing several similar cases in the literature to provide a better description of this tumor and analyze its clinical and radiological features. We conducted a search on the PubMed database for studies published between January 2010 and February 2023, including studies of nontraumatic and noniatrogenic calvarial cysts.

Sternal tuberculosis: A rare manifestation of extrapulmonary disease.

Sternal tuberculosis is a rare and challenging diagnosis. We present a case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with a progressively enlarging anterior chest wall mass and nonspecific symptoms. Imaging studies revealed a destructive sternal lesion.

Ischemic vascular accident revealing hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery in a narrowed bony canal: A case report.

Hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery is a rare congenital abnormality that can present with an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attacks. We present the case of a 17-year-old male who presented with right hemiparesis and dysarthria. The imaging revealed hypoplasia of the left internal carotid artery and narrowing of the left carotid duct.

Abundant hemoptysis revealing an aneurysm of an aberrant systemic artery to the left lower pulmonary lobe: A case report.

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a congenital anomaly characterized by a lung region that is isolated from its normal bronchial and vascular connections. It typically receives blood supply from an aberrant systemic artery. An aneurysm of that aberrant artery is extremely rare.

Triple barreled aortic dissection: The Mercedes-Benz sign.

Triple barreled dissection is an extremely rare form of aortic dissection with only a few cases reported in the literature. It is characterized by 3 lumens separated by 2 intimal flaps, resembling the appearance of the 'Mercedes Benz' sign. We present an unusual case of triple barreled aortic dissection in a 71-year-old patient with history of hypertension.

Hydatid cyst of the liver rupturing into the portal vein: A rare complication.

Hydatid cyst of the liver is a zoonosis caused by parasite , which remains highly prevalent in Morocco. Current medical imaging modalities, particularly ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT), facilitate rapid and accurate diagnosis, enable effective treatment possibilities and allow for easy follow-up. Complications are typically dominated by infection and rupture, especially in the bile ducts, peritoneal cavity, and chest.

Peritoneal metastasis of a cerebellar medulloblastoma through a ventriculoperitoneal shunt: A case report.

Medulloblastoma is a frequent and aggressive pediatric tumor. It causes intracranial hypertension, necessitating ventriculoperitoneal shunting with surgical resection. Intraperitoneal metastases are rare and result from the migration of neoplastic cells through the shunt and into the peritoneal cavity.

Wilson Disease in Children in the Eastern Region of Morocco: Analysis of 24 Cases.

Wilson's disease (WD), or "hepato-lenticular degeneration," is a rare genetic disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance causing toxic tissue accumulation of copper, mainly in the liver, brain, and cornea. Its phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity characterizes it. This study aimed to clarify the clinical features and spectrum of Wilson's disease in children from the eastern region of Morocco and to study the evolutionary profile and survival in this population while discussing and highlighting the various diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties encountered in the management of WD in our context.

5-Fluorouracil-induced acute leukoencephalopathy: Case report and literature review.

Toxic leukoencephalopathy (TL) refers to damage to the brain white matter following exposure to toxic agents. Multiple agents are incriminated in this condition, including chemotherapy drugs. 5-Fluorouracil, widely used in oncology, is responsible for neurotoxicity in less than 5% of cases.

An unusual case of diastatic perforation of the transverse colon: Case report and literature review.

Diastatic perforation corresponds to a bursting of the cecal wall caused by excessive distension resulting from a remote obstruction of the low large bowel. This perforation could be explained by Laplace's physical law, and by the particular vascular anatomy of the cecal wall. We report the case of a 75-year-old man admitted for peritonitis with an abdominal CT scan highly suggestive of a diastatic perforation of the cecum complicating colonic distension upstream of a stenosing tumor of the rectosigmoid junction.

Cerebral actinomycosis following a facio-cranial trauma: A case report.

Cerebral actinomycosis is a rare, chronic, but curable bacterial brain infection. We report the case of an 18-year-old male patient with a history of facio-cranial trauma, admitted in our institution with severe headaches and behavioral disorders. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed showing the presence of contiguous multiple small round and ovoid lesions in the right frontal lobe with "the dot in circle" appearance.

Cocaine-Induced Lung Damage and Uncommon Involvement of the Basal Ganglia.

Cocaine use is responsible for multiorgan damage, including the brain and lungs. Bilateral and symmetrical involvement of the basal ganglia may be due to toxic, metabolic, vascular, inflammatory, infectious, or tumoral causes. Cocaine-related encephalopathy mainly affects the white matter, while basal ganglia involvement is an uncommon finding.

Case report - Computed tomography diagnosis of an abdominal aortic aneurysm complicated with primary aortoduodenal fistula.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm has been described as a rare condition touching 1% of the population over the age of 50 years with a high percentage of mortality. Aneurysms progress in size, causing deadly complications such as ruptures and fistulas. Computed tomography angiography is considered the gold standard imaging exam for the evaluation of abdominal aortic aneurysms and their complications.

Moya-Moya Disease Revealed by a Non-lobar Intracerebral Hemorrhage in an Adult.

Moya-Moya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebral vasculopathy affecting children and adults. It is a progressive steno-occlusive arterial disease generally discovered during the etiological assessment of an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Its diagnosis is based essentially on imaging.
