Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a reversible clinico-radiological condition primarily affecting the occipito-parietal regions. Thalami, brainstem, and cerebellar involvement with posterior fossa oedema are rare manifestations of this condition. We present the case of a 66-year-old male with a travel history to Thailand who was found collapsed on the floor two weeks after his return.

Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), also known as non-bacterial osteitis, is a chronic autoinflammatory disease of unknown aetiology that primarily occurs in the paediatric population, although rare cases of adult-onset disease also exist. CNO has non-specific clinical and radiological presentations, and the affected population often present with bone pain of insidious onset secondary to sterile bony inflammation that can be associated with swelling, focal tenderness, and warmth at the affected sites. The pattern of bony involvement appears to be dependent on the age of onset, with adults frequently having axial skeletal lesions and children and adolescents often being affected in the appendicular skeletal sites.

Aetiologically, it is classified as infectious, neoplastic, autoimmune, and idiopathic. Many of these formerly idiopathic cases have been shown to fall into the spectrum of IgG4-related disease.

Chiari malformation is a clinico-radiological entity defined by herniation of rhombencephalic structures through the foramen magnum. The most common type, Chiari I, involves herniation of the cerebellar tonsils specifically. We present the case of a 2-year-old with three weeks of progressive bilateral leg weakness, absent reflexes, and the inability to walk.
