The differential diagnosis for an isolated lytic mastoid lesion is broad, encompassing various conditions requiring careful consideration. These include granulomatous disorders such as Langerhans cell histiocytosis and sarcoidosis, neoplastic processes like multiple myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma, and metastases, primary bone diseases such as Paget's disease, fibrous dysplasia, and osteitis fibrosa cystica, as well as infectious causes like osteomyelitis. In this report, we present a patient with otalgia and an isolated lytic mastoid lesion.

Mastoid cysts are a rare condition that occurs either congenitally or secondary to chronic otological diseases with poor ventilation of the middle ear and mastoid cavity. In this presenting case, the authors report a case of secondary mastoid cyst with evidence of bony destruction and fistulous tract formation into adjacent structures. Concurrently, we reviewed other similar cases reported in the literature.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is usually a disease of the elderly and only less than 1% are young individuals below 35 years of age. Central nervous system (CNS) manifestations of MM are even rarer, the most common being leptomeningeal involvement. We report a case of a 35-year-old male who presented with a fever of 3 weeks duration associated with slurring of speech, nasal regurgitation, hearing loss, and decreased urine output.

Article Synopsis
- CT-guided procedures involving the skull base and atlanto-axial spine are complex due to the presence of vital structures and differing ideal needle angles from standard scans.
- A study analyzed 39 CT-guided needle accesses for various procedures, using a specific technique for precise and safe needle placement.
- The findings indicated that this technique allows for successful double-oblique needle accesses, leading to minimal complications and effective outcomes in both conventional and non-conventional approaches.
