S100B and optic nerve sheath diameter correlation in head injury patients with contusions.

Unlabelled: S100B is a biochemical marker of head injury and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is a non-invasive bedside technique to detect intracranial pressure. We aim to demonstrate whether ONSD correlates with S100B protein in head injury patients with contusions and also whether the grade of contusion correlates with S100B protein. This is a prospective study done on head injury patients aged between 18 and 75 years having isolated contusions admitted within 24 h of injury.

Craniocerebral Maduramycosis: Masquerading as a Tumor.

Eumycetomas of craniocerebral are rare, and we report an extraordinary case of maduramycosis involving brain and skull bone in a middle-aged male who presented with complaints of headache, behavioral abnormalities, and memory disturbances for 3 months. Imaging showed a frontal lesion. It was mistaken for a tumor clinically and radiologically.
