Unlabelled: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous hereditary syndrome with predominantly oncological manifestations, which is associated with mutations in the TP53, MDM2, and CHEK2 genes. The most common variant is a TP53 mutation.
Objective: To analyze the literature and present a clinical case of a patient with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and multiple anaplastic oligodendrogliomas of the brain.
Clinical Case: A 42-year-old male patient presented with complaints of headaches, word finding difficulty, memory loss, right hemianopsia, and generalized convulsive attacks. For 10 years, he underwent multiple interventions and chemotherapy courses for colon adenocarcinoma and recurrent B-cell lymphoma. MRI revealed multiple space-occupying lesions of the cerebraln hemispheres, which were located in the left temporo-occipital and right frontal regions.
Results: The patient underwent resection of multiple space-occupying lesions of the left temporo-occipital and right frontal regions. The postoperative period proceeded without complications. The histological diagnosis was WHO grade III anaplastic oligodendroglioma. The patient and one of his sons were detected with a R248W missense mutation in the TP53 gene. The patient underwent six courses of temozolomide chemotherapy. At a follow-up examination 20 months after surgery and chemotherapy, the patient's condition was satisfactory; he returned to work. Control MRI of the brain revealed no signs of continued tumor growth.
Conclusion: An analysis of the literature and the clinical case indicate the success of multiple surgical interventions and chemotherapy courses performed for a long time in the patient with Li-Fraumeni syndrome manifested by colon adenocarcinoma, recurrent B-cell lymphoma, and multiple anaplastic oligodendroglioma of the brain. The patient had a good quality of life and returned to professional activity.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease that results in motor, sensory, cognitive, and affective deficits. Hippocampal demyelination, a common occurrence in MS, is linked to impaired cognitive function and mood. Despite this, the precise mechanisms underlying cognitive impairments in MS remain elusive.

Objectives: To evaluate the precision and safety of a novel technique of free-hand frameless pinless AXIEM™-based navigation guided biopsy of deep-seated brain lesions in a low-middle income country.
Methods: This retrospective study included 45 patients who underwent free-hand frameless pinless AXIEM™-based navigation guided biopsy of deep-seated brain lesions using the Medtronic-Stealth S7 system over a 5-year period (January 2019 to December 2023) at the Department of Neurosurgery, Punjab Institute of Neurosciences, Lahore, Pakistan.
Results: A total of 45 patients were included in this study.

Purpose: Orbital inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are a rare tumor with intermediate biological potential. We analyzed a series of orbital IMTs to determine their unique features.
Methods: Records from patients with pathologically confirmed IMT at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, between January 2004 and August 2022, were reviewed for their ocular presentation and treatment outcomes.

Thyroid cancer (TC) being the common endocrine malignancy is glooming steadily due to its poor prognosis. The treatment strategies of surgery, radiotherapy, and conventional chemotherapy are providing unsatisfactory output. However, combination therapy can negotiate the worse prognosis to the better, where chemoradiotherapy, radiotherapy with surgery, or dual chemotherapeutic drugs are being glorified.
