Intradural extramedullary tuberculoma in a case of disseminated tuberculosis: A case report.

Background: Intradural extramedullary tuberculoma of the spinal cord (IETSC) is an exceedingly rare manifestation of tuberculosis (TB) affecting the central nervous system.

Case Description: A 33-year-old immunocompetent female with disseminated TB, including pulmonary involvement and leptomeningeal tuberculomas, developed progressive paraplegia and urinary incontinence over 2 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse intradural extramedullary soft tissue from C7 to L2 vertebral levels, indicative of abscess formation and severe spinal cord compression.

Double trouble: Concurrent ossification of ligamentum flavum with infective spondylodiscitis in the thoracic spine resulting in paraplegia: A case report.

Background: Thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) and tuberculous infective spondylodiscitis rarely combine to cause paraplegia. Here, a 48-year-old female with both thoracic OLF and tuberculous spondylodiscitis experienced the acute onset of paraplegia successfully managed with a T8-L1 laminectomy with fusion.

Case Description: A 48-year-old female presented with the acute onset of paraplegia attributed to magnetic resonance-documented thoracic OLF and infective spondylodiscitis.

The objective measurement of hypoaesthesia after Total Knee Arthroplasty and its correlation with skin incision length: a prospective study.

Purpose: This study aims to measure the peri-incisional numbness developing after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) performed using the midline skin incision. It studies the natural course of the numbness and determines its correlation with the skin incision length (SIL).

Materials & Methods: 66 knees undergoing primary TKA with a standard midline incision were evaluated.

Aspergilloma Superinfection in the Spinal Canal of an 18-Year-Old Man: A Case Report.

Case: An 18-year-old immunocompetent man presented with symptomatic lumbar canal stenosis, discharging sinuses, and cold abscess for 3 years treated with multiple incision drainage procedures with cottonoid packing antibiotic therapy. Radiographic imaging showed a soft tissue mass in the canal causing bony destruction. Postoperative histopathological examination showed an Aspergillus fungal ball.

Delayed presentation of Wilkie's syndrome after scoliotic curve correction surgery: a case report.

Background: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, also known as Wilkie's syndrome, is a rare but serious complication following scoliosis correction surgery. It occurs as a result of mechanical compression of third part of duodenum between the SMA and aorta. This condition occurs most commonly in significantly underweight patients with deformities, and usually during the first week following spinal deformity corrective surgeries.
