A 30-year-old female presented to us with multiple tender erythematous papules and nodules. These lesions showed multi-segmental distribution along 5(th) cervical, 6(th) dorsal, and 1(st) sacral segments of right half of the body. Histopathological examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis of leiomyoma. Patient was started on nifedipine 10 mg thrice-daily with significant symptomatic improvement in 3 months. Though segmental distribution of leiomyoma is common, unilateral multi-segmental distribution has not been so far reported in the literature. Hence, the case is being reported for its rare presentation and the need for long-term follow-up in view of its association with aggressive renal carcinoma.

Introduction: The progression of neurologic cavovarus (NCV) and equinocavovarus (NECV) foot deformities during growth can eventually lead to non-reducible severe talonavicular (TN) and subtalar (ST) joint rotational malalignments. This study aimed to describe a technique to correct severe, resistant inversion deformity of the ST joint complex as the foundational procedure in comprehensive reconstruction of multi-segmental NCV and NECV deformities in pediatric patients and to analyze mid-term radiologic, functional, and satisfaction outcomes.
Methods: This prospective study included children with severe NCV and NECV foot deformities who underwent TCNR between 2019 and 2022, with a minimum follow-up of 2 years.

Introduction And Importance: Postoperative spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEDH) is a rare complication in clinical practice. Despite its rarity, SSEDH is a critical emergency situation associated with neurological deficits, and improper or delayed management may lead to severe consequences. Therefore, surgical operators should familiarize themselves with SSEDH and give it more attention.

Article Synopsis
- Unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression (ULBD) is a minimally invasive surgery that effectively relieves symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis while minimizing risks like blood loss, muscle damage, and pain compared to traditional methods.
- The study highlights a technique called slalom unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression with navigation, detailing ten steps to perform the surgery and reporting on a case series of seven patients who underwent the procedure.
- Results showed significant pain reduction post-surgery, with average pain scores dropping from 4.71 to 1.50 for back pain and 4.33 to 1.21 for leg pain, indicating it is a safe and efficient option for treating multi-segmental lumbar spinal stenosis.

We describe cases of two patients with primary cervical bone tumors that resulted in extensive destruction of bones of the region. In the first patient, the tumor and its growth resulted in the destruction of C3-C5 vertebral bodies and the unilateral destruction of facets and pedicles. In the second case, there was focal destruction of the body and odontoid process and unilateral pedicle and facet of C2.
