Heterotopic brain tissue is an extremely rare developmental anomaly frequently diagnosed in the newborn period. This entity has been described in various sites of the head and neck, most commonly in the nasal area. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are necessary for exclude associated cranial communications.

Engineered myeloid precursors differentiate into osteoclasts and resorb heterotopic ossification in mice.

Introduction: Heterotopic ossification (HO) occurs following orthopedic trauma, spinal cord injuries, brain trauma and limb amputations. Once symptomatic, HO causes pain, limited mobility and decreased quality of life. Current treatments are limited and have significant complications with high recurrence rates, underscoring the need for improved therapeutic interventions.

Septo-optic dysplasia is a congenital neurological condition with multifactorial etiology, characterized by septum pellucidum agenesis and/or corpus callosum dysgenesis, hypoplasia of the chiasm or optic nerves, and hormonal dysfunction with pituitary or hypothalamic alterations. Diagnosis requires two of these criteria and magnetic resonance is the imaging test of choice. Most cases present with abnormalities of cortical development in the form known as septo-optic dysplasia plus.

Article Synopsis
- Atraumatic localized convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) is a rare type of bleeding in the brain that can be caused by issues like internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD), particularly when associated with a condition known as Eagle syndrome, characterized by an elongated styloid process (ESP).
- A case involving a 47-year-old woman revealed cSAH along with ICAD and an ESP, leading to the diagnosis of Eagle syndrome; despite severe headaches and imaging challenges, the causes were identified and treated conservatively.
- The findings underscore the importance of thorough investigation in cSAH cases, as recognizing conditions like Eagle syndrome can lead to better patient outcomes and prevent
Neurogenic Heterotopic Ossification of the Hip: a Case Report.
Acta Chir Orthop Traumatol Cech

University of Health Sciences, Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital, Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Bakırköy/Istanbul, Turkey.
Heterotopic ossification (HO) denotes aberrant osteogenesis in extra-skeletal tissues, often associated with neurological disorders, total hip arthroplasty, and specific traumatic scenarios. Neurogenic heterotopic ossification manifests prominently subsequent to traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury, with Guillain-Barre Syndrome presenting an infrequent etiological link. This article details the case of a 56-year-old female diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, who developed neurogenic heterotopic ossification around both hips within two years of disease onset.

Article Synopsis
- This case report details a unique occurrence of splenic heterotopia found in the colon, diagnosed through an endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy.* -
- Splenic heterotopia is a benign condition where splenic tissue is located outside its normal site, often related to previous splenic trauma or removal, but this case had no such history.* -
- The presented case marks the first documented instance of primary intramural colic splenosis identified through histological and immunohistochemical techniques in this specific location.*
