Hypertrophic pachymeningitis is a rare fibrosing inflammatory process involving dura mater and tentorium. In this report we are presenting contrast enhanced MRI findings of an unusual case of pachymeningitis which presented with a periorbital mass due to dural sinuses occlusion and retrograde filling of periorbital veins through superior sagittal sinus.

Evaluating altered mental status and suspected meningeal disorders in children often begins with imaging, typically before a lumbar puncture. The challenge is that meningeal enhancement is a common finding across a range of pathologies, making diagnosis complex. This review proposes a categorization of meningeal diseases based on their predominant imaging characteristics.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to establish an experimental model of idiopathic condylar resorption by combining surgically induced anterior disc displacement and estrogen deficiency in growing rabbits. This study aimed to investigate the individual and combined effects of these factors on condylar resorption.
Materials And Methods: Seventeen female Japanese White rabbits were divided into four groups: control, ovariectomy, anterior disc displacement surgery, and combination of ovariectomy and anterior disc displacement surgery.

Hypertrophic lichen planus (HLP) is an idiopathic inflammatory condition characterized by hyperkeratotic plaques or nodules, typically occurring bilaterally on the wrists, ankles, or lower extremities. This variant of lichen planus is more common among African-American patients and occupies a broad differential with other keratotic skin conditions, some of which are malignant, making recognition and accurate diagnosis essential. We present an unusual case of a 49-year-old African-American woman with four markedly exophytic, horn-like lesions on her shins, ultimately diagnosed as HLP.

Article Synopsis
- Diffuse pachymeningeal contrast enhancement in dogs is rare and not well understood in veterinary medicine.
- A 2-year-old neutered female Pug exhibited severe neurological symptoms and MRI revealed thickening and enhancement of the meninges.
- Despite initial treatment showing temporary improvement, the dog relapsed multiple times, leading to euthanasia, where histopathological analysis indicated a rare case of meningeal null cell lymphoma.
