Left homonymous hemianopia as an atypical manifestation of isolated pachymeningeal metastasis secondary to breast cancer: Case report and review of the literature.

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women and is caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of breast cells. Metastases from breast cancer to the central nervous system have been described frequently in the literature, but dural metastases without cerebral parenchymal involvement are rarely reported. The latter condition is known as isolated pachymeningeal metastasis (IPM).

Debilitating genitofemoral neuralgia due to nerve entrapment after appendectomy: A case report.

Genitofemoral (GF) neuralgia refers to pain and sensory complaints in the region innervated by the GF nerve. It is a rarely reported condition, often due to iatrogenic causes following inguinal surgeries. In refractory forms, diagnostic reassessment is required to look for possible entrapment of the GF nerve.

Neuromeningeal tuberculosis in HIV-negative patients: a retrospective study in Rabat, Morocco.

Neuro-Meningeal Tuberculosis (NMT) is a severe infection of the central nervous system which causes a public health problem in Morocco and in several countries in the world. In order to describe the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and outcome among NMT patients without HIV, we carried out a retrospective study at the neurology department of the Military Hospital of Rabat in Morocco, over a period of 17 years (2000-2017). Forty patients were included with a mean age of 44 years (± 18) and a sex ratio of 1.

Orbital metastatic angiosarcoma.

We report a case of a 48-year-old man who developed metastatic angiosarcoma in her left orbit. A 48-year-old man was first sent to us for a check up of proptosis of the left eye. A left orbital tumor was recognized on orbital computed tomography scans.

Isolated cilioretinal artery occlusion as an initial manifestation of polycythemia vera.

Isolated cilioretinal artery occlusion is a rarely reported initial manifestation of polycythemia vera. In this study, we reported a case of a 65-year-old man with polycythemia vera with cilioretinal artery occlusion as an initial manifestation.

Radicular interdural lumbar disc herniation.

Intraradicular lumbar disc herniation is a rare complication of disc disease that is generally diagnosed only during surgery. The mechanism for herniated disc penetration into the intradural space is not known with certainty, but adhesion between the radicular dura and the posterior longitudinal ligament was suggested as the most important condition. The authors report the first case of an intraradicular lumbar disc herniation without subdural penetration; the disc hernia was lodged between the two radicular dura layers.

Influence of cranial morphology on the location of chronic subdural haematoma.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between cranial morphology and location of a chronic subdural haematoma (CSDH) in patients with and without intracranial vault asymmetry.

Method: The study was conducted in 110 consecutive adult patients who underwent surgery for CSDH. The relationship between the following variables and CSDH was studied: sex, age, past medical history, history of trauma, interval between head injury and symptoms, clinical presentation, location of the CSDH, symmetry of the frontal and occipital intracranial vault on the CT scan and/or MR images, surgical treatment and outcome.

Sudden onset of paraplegia caused by hemorrhagic spinal epidural angiolipoma. A case report.

Spinal epidural angiolipoma is a rare benign tumor containing vascular and mature adipose elements. A slow progressive clinical course was mostly presented and rarely a fluctuating course during pregnancy. The authors report the original case of spontaneous spinal epidural bleeding resulting from thoracic epidural angiolipoma who presented with hyperacute onset of paraplegia, simulating an extradural hematoma.
