Key Clinical Message: In the evaluation of acute flaccid paralysis, particularly in pediatric populations within endemic areas for schistosomiasis infection, clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for neuroschistosomiasis. Prompt identification is imperative to mitigate the risk of irreversible neurological sequelae.
Abstract: Spinal cord involvement in neuroschistosomiasis (NS) is considerably rare, with even fewer reported cases affecting the conus medullaris in children.
Pediatric Spinal Neuroschistosomiasis in Yemen: An Overlooked Dilemma in an Endemic Region.

Department of Internal Medicine, Hadhramaut University, Hadhramaut, YEM.
Background: Neurological involvement in schistosomiasis presents a significant and serious complication. While the disease is generally considered treatable during the early stages, the rarity of this condition often leads to delays in diagnosis and treatment. This study aims to report the clinical characteristics of pediatric patients with spinal neuroschistosomiasis (NS) in an endemic area to the disease.

Background: Medulloblastoma is a highly malignant, embryonal tumor, which is rare in adults, and shows distinct clinical, histopathological, molecular and treatment response features.
Methods: We retrospectively investigated 44 adults (age 17-48 years) with a histological diagnosis of medulloblastoma, and in 23 immunohistochemistry was used to identify the molecular subgroups. We analyzed demographic, diagnostic, therapeutic and cognitive data, and correlated with PFS (progression-free-survival) and OS (overall survival).
Surgical Management of Multi-Level Cervical Spine Synovial Chondromatosis.
Asian J Neurosurg
May 2021
Department of Neurosurgery, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA.
Cervical synovial chondromatosis is a benign condition which most commonly affects the knee joint. The involvement of the spinal column is rare, with only a few reports in the literature describing surgical treatment for compressive spinal lesions. Given the rarity of this condition, the best treatment methodology is yet to be established.

Surg Neurol Int
April 2021
Department of Neurosurgery, Highly Specialized Hospital and of National Importance "Garibaldi", Catania, Italy.
Background: The treatment of spontaneous spinal epidural hematomas (SSEHs), depending on the lesion size and myeloradicular involvement, can be surgical or conservative. Here, we present a 55-year-old patient who sustained a SSEH several months following a systemic SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Case Description: A 55-year-old immunocompromised female (i.
