Herpesvirus reactivates from a latent infection in older adults and critically ill and immunocompromised individuals. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) is a latent infection that affects the fifth cranial nerve. It is an infrequent cause of increased intraocular pressure.

Surgical management of palatal teratoma (epignathus) with the use of virtual reconstruction and 3D models: a case report and literature review.

Epignathus is a rare congenital orofacial teratoma that arises from the sphenoid region of the palate or the pharynx. It occurs in approximately 1:35,000 to 1:200,000 live births representing 2% to 9% of all teratomas. We present the case of a newborn of 39.

[Molecular physiopathology of the spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6)].

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is a neurodegenerative, monogenic, and autosomic dominant disease which is characterized by a global cerebellar atrophy. Typically the onset is at mature age and undergoes a moderate evolution. This illness has been associated with a mutation in the gene CACNA1A, that encodes for subunit alpha1A of P/Q type voltage/dependent calcium channel.
