Modified prediction model for poor short-term prognosis in patients with chronic subdural hematoma after burr hole drainage: a retrospective cohort study.

To the Editor,I would like to acknowledge the valuable efforts taken to enhance the knowledge through the article "Prediction model for poor short-term prognosis in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) after burr hole drainage: a retrospective cohort study" [1]. We thoroughly read this article published in your journal and learned the aim behind this study. This article has described every aspect of determining prognosis postoperatively in patients after evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma via a single burr hole.

Extraosseous Ewing's Sarcoma Masquerading as Adolescent Neck Mass-a Case Report and Review of Literature.

Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a rare type of malignant bone tumor that arises from mesenchymal stem cells. It commonly occurs in the diaphysis and diaphyseal-metaphyseal portions of long bones, pelvis, and ribs, although any bone can be affected. A minority of the Ewing sarcoma also arise in soft tissues, and a primary tumor in the neck with metastasis is extremely uncommon.

Ruptured Ectopic Pregnancy in an Accessory Horn of Uterus: A Case Report.

A unicornuate uterus with an accessory horn is one of the rarest congenital uterine anomalies; hence, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy in the accessory uterine horn is highly uncommon. It poses a significant risk to maternal life, as it is difficult to identify before surgery due to the severe hemoperitoneum in the event of rupture of the ectopic pregnancy. We report a case of a 20-year-old primigravida who presented to the emergency department of Civil Hospital Karachi, with sudden onset of generalized abdominal pain, vomiting, and dizziness at 17 weeks of gestation.

Fungal Cervical Abscess Complicated by Necrotizing Fasciitis Leading to Descending Necrotizing Mediastinitis: A Case Report.

Cervical necrotizing fasciitis (CNF) is a rapidly spreading deep neck infection with a high mortality rate if left untreated. The occurrence of necrotizing infections in the head and neck region is uncommon; therefore, it is a rare cause of chest pain presenting to the emergency department. Here, we present an interesting case of fungal cervical skin abscess complicated by necrotizing fasciitis that progressed to involve the mediastinum, causing necrotizing mediastinitis with pneumomediastinum in an elderly female.
