A 24-year-old woman with bifrontal headaches was found to have a well-circumscribed lesion in the frontal lobe subcortical white matter. Microscopic examination showed clusters of small round cells separated by hypocellular neuropil-like areas, and a distinct border between tumor and surrounding white matter. Synaptophysin was diffusely positive in neuropil-like areas, and many tumor cells expressed NeuN. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of "extraventricular neurocytoma" was made. A double-label immunofluorescence stain was performed with NeuN and Ki-67 antibodies to determine if NeuN+ cells remained in the mitotic cycle. No colocalization of these markers was found, thus supporting the hypothesis that neuronal differentiation (as marked by NeuN expression) is incompatible with continued proliferation of tumor cells, as well as normal neurons.

Steatotic liver disease diagnosed in a 24-year-old woman with Rett syndrome: a case report.
J Int Med Res

Divisions of Gastroenterology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the gene, potentially disrupting lipid metabolism and leading to dyslipidemia (DLD) and steatotic liver disease (SLD). Although SLD has been described in RTT mouse models, it remains undocumented in humans. We herein describe a 24-year-old woman with RTT who was evaluated for abnormal liver enzymes.

Objective: To report an unusual manifestation of normal tension glaucoma(NTG) in a young female as presenting feature of Takayasu arteritis (TA).
Methods: We present a case of a 24-year-old woman who was initially diagnosed with NTG, with characteristic optic disc and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) changes, and corresponding visual field defects. Further evaluation with CT angiography revealed that the patient had newly diagnosed TA.

Acute cardiovascular disorders are incriminated in up to 33% of maternal deaths, and the presence of sickle cell anemia (SCA) aggravates the risk of peripartum complications. Herein, we present a 24-year-old Caribbean woman with known SCA who developed a vaso-occlusive crisis at 36 weeks of gestation that required emergency Cesarean section. In the early postpartum period, she experienced fever with rapid onset of acute respiratory distress in the context of COVID-19 infection that required tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilatory support with broad-spectrum antibiotics and blood exchange transfusion.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare autosomal dominant disease with an estimated prevalence of 2 per 100,000. This disease is caused by a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene MEN1, which is located on chromosome 11 and codifies the menin protein. It is characterized by a predisposition of parathyroids, enteropancreatic, and anterior pituitary tumors, affecting the quality of life and lifespan of those who have the disease.

Endoscopic brow lift (EBL) surgery, performed for cosmetic purposes, carries a small risk for postoperative superior oblique paresis leading to diplopia. We report 2 cases of diplopia after EBL. In the first, a 54-year-old woman was diagnosed with right eye superior oblique paresis, which was confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which revealed trochlear region enhancement.
