Cervical Ossification of Ligamentum Flavum: Elaborating an Underappreciated but Occasional Contributor to Myeloradiculopathy in Aging Population Based on Synthesis of Individual Participant Data.

Purpose: Cervical ossification of ligamentum flavum (COLF) is a rare clinical entity which can occasionally contribute to severe myeloradiculopathy. Many orthopedists are unfamiliar with or underestimate this pathology. Therefore, a comprehensive research is obligatory to reappraise the epidemiological, radiological, clinical and histopathological characteristics of COLF-myeloradiculopathy based on synthesis of individual patient data.

Objective: To compile an objective accurate description of the motor patterns of adult arousal disorders (ADs).
Methods: We reviewed 59 nocturnal video-polysomnographic (VPSG) recordings of 30 adult patients (>15 years) with a history of sleepwalking (SW). We scrutinized the semeiology of all 184 episodes recorded, classifying them into three groups according to three semeiological motor patterns characterized by increasing intensity and complexity: simple arousal movements (pattern I), characterized by head flexion/extension, head flexion/extension and limb movement or head flexion/extension and partial trunk flexion/extension; rising arousal movements (pattern II), characterized by a complete trunk flexion with patient sitting up in bed; and complex arousal with ambulatory movements (pattern III) characterized by SW.

The introduction of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) has lead to great developments in the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound. Second generation contrast media, characterized by harmonic responses at low mechanical index of the ultrasound beam, have already proven usefulness in the study of the liver but other abdominal organs can take advantage from the dynamic study during continuous ultrasonographic scans. The dynamic observation of the enhancement allows the perfect evaluation of the abdominal organs perfusion.

Recently, a recrudescence of tuberculosis (TBC) as been found, even in Western world and in Italy, most likely in relation to the increase in immigration from developing countries and to the pathologies that cause immunodepression. The present paper reports two cases of primitive TBC of the middle ear, both coming under observation for facial paralysis. These cases highlight the clinical-therapeutic features of this disease, the difficulty in diagnosis and the need to include TBC in the differential diagnosis of phlogistic processes of the middle ear.
