Symptomatic chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is amongst the most frequent neurological diseases with an upward trend due to an aging society and development in the field of anticoagulation therapies. Lately, subgaleal drainages and middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization have been introduced to the standard armamentarium as treatment options for cSDH patients. Vascular anomalies, such as internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion with spontaneous extra-intracranial anastomoses, usually lead to forfeiting embolization treatment from patients.

Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (PCBCL) has three subtypes, among those, the leg type variant is the rarest with the highest rates of relapse and recurrence making it an intriguing focus for researchers. Nevertheless, prior to framing a diagnosis solely based on the lesion's location, it is prudent to reconsider whether it is genuinely a primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (PCBCL) or if it aligns more closely with the more prevalent lymphoma variants such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with cutaneous involvement. We are reporting a case of an 85-year-old African American lady, who presented with unilateral left leg DLBCL with cutaneous involvement.

Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) often experience infections due to aberrant immunoglobulin production by malignant plasma cells and immunosuppressive therapeutic interventions that are used to treat the condition. A rare but serious infection that may occur in these patients is Cryptococcus, an encapsulated fungus that typically infects immunocompromised individuals. Cryptococcus infections often present as pneumonia but can disseminate to the central nervous system, potentially causing meningitis.

Introduction: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF) are abnormal anastomoses between meningeal arteries and dural venous sinuses. Typically, dAVF treatment involves an endovascular or microsurgical approach. Anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) dAVFs pose unique challenges due to their anatomy and location.

Rationale: Ependymomas are commonly prevalent intramedullary neoplasms in adults, with hardly any cases of exophytic extramedullary ependymoma being reported. Meningiomas, on the contrary, are one of the most common intradural extramedullary (IDEM) tumors. However, the occurrence of both IDEM tumors simultaneously is extremely rare.
