Unveiling the enigmatic connection: Belly dancer's dyskinesia as an unusual manifestation of normal pressure hydrocephalus: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Normal pressure hydrocephalus is rarely associated with Belly dancer's dyskinesia and seizure.

Abstract: Belly dancer's dyskinesia (BDD) is characterized by bilateral, sluggish, involuntary, repetitive, and rhythmic motions of the anterior abdominal wall. We present a rare case of a 78-year-old man diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus associated with BDD and seizure who presented with left-sided weakness of the body and abnormal body movements.

Neglected Fungating Giant basal cell carcinoma: A case report and literature review.

Key Clinical Message: Gaint fungating BCC is rare and aggressive. Early health-seeking behavior may result in positive outcomes.

Abstract: Fungating giant basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a rare and aggressive form of BCC infrequently reported in the literature.

Biliary atresia and posterior fossa bleed: Chance or causality. A case report and review of the literature.

Key Clinical Message: A newborn with a rare form of biliary atresia had posterior fossa bleed and subarachnoid hemorrhage despite vitamin K prophylaxis, indicating biliary atresia is a causality rather than chance.

Abstract: Biliary atresia frequently causes surgical jaundice, resulting in delayed vitamin K deficiency. We report a 28-day-old newborn diagnosed with a rare form of biliary atresia presented with an unusual association of posterior fossa bleed and subarachnoid hemorrhage despite vitamin K prophylaxis.

Pheochromocytoma disguised as gestational hypertensive disease during pregnancy: A case report.

Pheochromocytoma is often diagnosed prior to pregnancy. Sometimes, the disease may be diagnosed for the first-time during pregnancy masking itself as a hypertensive disease in pregnancy. Early diagnosis and timely, appropriate management reduce possible maternal and fetal complications.

Stiff person syndrome in a Nepalese man with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and ketonuria: A rare case report.

Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), a progressive Central Nervous System disorder is accompanied by progressive muscle rigidity, hyperreflexia, and spasms mainly in truncal and proximal leg muscles mainly associated with autoimmune disorders. Here, we report a rare case of SPS in a middle-aged Nepalese man with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and ketonuria.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome following lower segment caesarean section under spinal anesthesia: A case report.

Symptoms of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) may be mistaken for typical puerperal changes, delaying diagnosis. Surgery and anesthesia may be triggers for GBS with an overall increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines in the postpartum period. We report a unique case of GBS in the postpartum period who made a good recovery with supportive measures.

Borderline tuberculoid leprosy misdiagnosed as Cheilitis Granulomatosa Miescher: A case report.

Macrocheilia, as an initial manifestation of leprosy, is uncommon. We present a case of a 50-year-old female, with lower lip swelling, initially diagnosed as Cheilitis Granulomatosa Miescher. Unresponsiveness to local intralesional corticosteroids necessitated further evaluation.

Salivary alpha-synuclein as a potential fluid biomarker in Parkinson's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Lewy bodies are the pathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease. There is a need for effective biomarker that is cost effective, less invasive, and easily reproducible with good sensitivity and specificity and can be used to diagnose the condition early and track its severity and progression. Alpha-synuclein (α-syn), an integral component of the Lewy body, is found in saliva and can be a potential answer to the above concerns.

Staphylococcal endocarditis with meningitis and basal ganglia infarcts mimicking meningococcemia.

is one of the common causes of infective endocarditis (IE). IE can present with various neurological complications such as stroke, brain abscess, and meningitis, the mortality rate can be very high in such cases.

Bilateral thalamic infarction following cerebral venous thrombosis in a patient with ulcerative colitis.

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis is a rare extra-intestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is a hypercoagulable state and, if poorly managed, can predispose to thrombosis, including thrombosis of the cerebral veins.

Isolated bilateral clavicular fracture: A case report.

Bilateral clavicle fractures are uncommon and are mostly associated with polytrauma. The presence of concurrent serious injuries diverts the doctor's attention and causes the clavicular injury to be overlooked. Our report presents a 39-year-old male patient with bilateral clavicle fracture whom we managed surgically by open reduction and internal fixation.

Keratosis obturans: A rare cause of facial nerve palsy.

Keratosis obturans, caused by the deposition of desquamated keratin plug in the external auditory canal can present with facial palsy. Young patients presenting with facial palsy, earache, and gradual hearing loss should be suspected for Keratosis obturans.

Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1 B mimicking Fahr's disease in a 28-year-old female: A case report.

In virtue of precise clinical history, physical examinations, and biochemical/radiological investigations, pseudohypoparathyroidism can be effectively diagnosed, and its types can be differentiated even without exorbitant tests.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease: A rare case report from Nepal.

Clinicians and pathologists must be aware of the occurrence of Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease, as one of the differential diagnoses of cervical lymphadenopathy.

Endogenous endophthalmitis and multifocal brain abscess-An interesting case.

We present an unusual case that staphylococcal brain abscess can present in an immunocompetent with endogenous endophthalmitis secondary to a septic foci and early prevention of dissemination with appropriate management to prevent its complications.

Paraparetic Guillain-Barre syndrome: An uncommon diagnosis of acute flaccid paralysis of the lower limbs.

Apart from the usual differentials of transverse myelitis and cord compression, paraparetic GBS should be considered when sudden, flaccid paralysis of the lower limbs occurs, as prompt diagnosis and management can minimize sequel and unnecessary procedures. We do report a case wherein we managed a similar situation without the use of an immunomodulatory therapy.

healthy South Asians.

We aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of among asymptomatic South Asians based on available literature and highlight the importance of screening asymptomatic individuals and implementing preventive strategies for eradicating . Electronic databases such as PubMed and Embase, a regional database of WHO South Asian Region, and gray literature sites were searched for relevant studies from 1983 to 5 May 2020. In addition, references of the included studies were thoroughly searched.

Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease: A case report and review of literature.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease is a rare neurodegenerative disease and earlier diagnosis is usually difficult. Combining clinical features with electroencephalogram, laboratory parameters, and neuroimaging findings will facilitate the diagnosis.
