Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Lexington, Kentucky, USA.
A paediatric patient presented with periorbital oedema and fever. Initially, there was low suspicion for cavernous sinus thrombosis and orbital cellulitis due to the presence of full extraocular movements. However, given worsening bilateral periorbital oedema, lethargy and sepsis, neuroimaging was performed demonstrating inflammation and enhancement of the leptomeninges and left cavernous sinus, and raising concern for cavernous sinus thrombosis in the setting of orbital cellulitis.

Coccidioidomycosis is an endemic fungal infection caused by the soil-dwelling Coccidioides immitis/posadasii. One prior study showed that persons with diabetes mellitus (DM) with elevated glucose at the time of coccidioidomycosis had poorer coccidioidal outcomes compared to persons without DM. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between hemoglobin A1C (A1C) and outcomes among persons with coccidioidomycosis and co-existing DM.

Radiol Case Rep

School of Medicine, College of Health Sciences, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Spinal schistosomiasis, a rare manifestation of schistosomal infection, can closely mimic the presentation of spinal cord tumors and pose significant diagnostic challenges. We present the case of a 12-year-old boy from northern Ethiopia who experienced progressive back pain, tingling sensations in his lower extremities, and intermittent fever. Initially referred with a presumptive diagnosis of myxopapillary ependymoma for pediatric hematology-oncology evaluation, his marked eosinophilia and history of swimming in local rivers raised suspicion for spinal schistosomiasis.
