Article Synopsis
- Chronic headaches can often stem from cerebro-spinal fluid issues, with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) being a key example that presents with headaches and vision problems along with signs like papilledema.
- In a study of 168 headache patients, 141 were evaluated, revealing that 27% had IIH, typically characterized by specific headache types, age, and body mass index.
- Diagnostic methods such as fundus examination and MRI/MR venography prove effective in detecting IIH, even identifying cases lacking typical signs like papilledema.
Primary paraduodenal tuberculosis in its pseudotumoral form: A case report and review of the literature.

Department of Radiology, Mohammed V Military Hospital, Mohammed V University, Rabat, Morocco.
Article Synopsis
- Abdominal tuberculosis can be hard to diagnose because its symptoms are vague, often causing delays in treatment.
- A 48-year-old man was incorrectly diagnosed with a gastrointestinal tumor but actually had retroperitoneal pseudo-tumoral tuberculosis, leading to unnecessary surgery.
- Following proper diagnosis through pathology, the patient successfully received 6 months of antitubercular treatment, emphasizing the need for early biopsies to avoid such misdiagnoses.
Post-acute sequelae of COVID infection and cerebral venous outflow disorders: Overlapping symptoms and mechanisms?

Neuroscience Institute, Division of Neurointerventional Surgery, Queen's Medical Center, Honolulu, HI, USA.
Neurological long Covid (NLC) is a major post-acute sequela of SARS-CoV-2 infection, affecting up to 10% of infected patients. The clinical presentation of patients with NLC is varied, but general NLC symptoms have been noted to closely mimic symptoms of cerebral venous outflow disorders (CVD). Here we review key literature and discuss evidence supporting this comparison.

Department of Medical Imaging, Perth Children's Hospital, Perth, Western Australia, Australia.
Aim: This retrospective study aims to analyse the epidemiology, clinical and neuroimaging features, treatment modalities, and outcomes of paediatric idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in a tertiary care centre in Australia.
Methods: Using the International Classification of Diseases Diagnostic Criteria for IIH, we identified and analysed a cohort of children diagnosed with IIH over a 5-year period (2017-2022). Data on patient demographics, symptomatology, examination findings, investigative results, treatments and outcomes were collected from medical records and electronic health records.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Unlabelled: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by elevated serum IgG4 levels. It has the potential to affect multiple organs. Despite the diverse manifestations of IgG4-RD, the association with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains poorly understood due to limited evidence.
