A rare case of hereditary spastic paraplegia: Case report.

Hereditary spastic paraplegias represent a rare set of monogenic disorders encompassing 79 distinct genetic variations. The principal culprit behind recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia is frequently attributed to mutations in the spastic paraplegia gene, particularly type 11, closely followed by type 15. This category is typically characterized by nonspecific clinical features, including cognitive decline, which may precede the development of progressive lower limb weakness and spasticity.

Unusual MRI abnormality in patients with nonketotic hyperglycaemia-associated seizures.

Nonketotic hyperglycaemia (NKH) is a metabolic disorder typically observed in individuals with inadequately managed or undiagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM). Seizures are a common clinical presentation in NKH, and they tend to respond better to glucose correction than anticonvulsant therapy. MRI scans may reveal both subcortical T2/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging hypointensity and cortical changes, including cortical grey matter T2/FLAIR imaging hyperintensity and cortical or leptomeningeal enhancement, although cortical abnormalities are less frequently observed.

An unusual complication of acute appendicitis: isolated superior mesenteric venous pylephlebitis.

Septic thrombophlebitis of the portal vein or one of its tributaries is referred to as pylephlebitis. It is unusual to have superior mesenteric venous thrombophlebitis. It frequently arises as a result of an infection in the portal venous system's drainage area, such as appendicitis or diverticulitis.

Intra-abdominal abscess from dropped gallstone: A case report.

Dropped gallstones are a common complication during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The formation of an abdominal abscess related to the dropped gallstones is rare because the majority of these calculi do not cause complications. Ultrasound is a usually used first-line imaging modality to detect gallstones in the abscess.

An unusual tropical endomyocardial fibrosis: a case report.

Tropical endomyocardial fibrosis (TEF) is a rare condition that occurs primarily in tropical countries, leading to a severe heart failure with heart restrictive filling patterns. Eosinophilia appears to be a trigger leading to the development of the disease; thus, numerous etiologic factors accompanied by eosinophilia have been postulated, although none have been confirmed. The massively calcified form of TEF is exceptional and easily diagnosed by multimodal imaging; but it is a very rare condition with high surgical challenge.

[An exceptional malformative association: situs inversus totalis and retro-costo-xyphoidian hernia].

Retro-costo-xyphoidian hernia is a rare congenital malformation. It accounts for 3% of all the diaphragmatic hernias. It can be isolated or associated with other malformations.

[Psoas abscess due to Candida tropicalis: a case report].

Psoas abscess is a rare infection, difficult to diagnose, which can be primary or secondary, it is often caused by a bacterial micro-organism (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli), and in rare cases by a fungal micro-organism (Candida). We report an exceptional case of Candida tropicalis psoas abscess in a 52-year-old man with no history of pathology who had inflammatory lower back pain with fever and general deterioration. The biological assessment showed a renal insufficiency and a biological inflammatory syndrome, a computed tomography made in urgency was in favor of a psoas abscess.
