OBJECTIVE Stereotactic radiosurgery is a commonly used treatment method in the management of metastatic brain tumors. When lesions enlarge after radiosurgery, it may represent tumor regrowth, radiation necrosis, or both. The purpose of this study was to determine whether standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences could reliably distinguish between these pathological possibilities. ME...

Two cases of palsy of the anterior interosseous nerve were recently observed, each complicating a closed forearm fracture. A detailed description of this nerve lesion in association with a fracture has not, to my knowledge, been reported previously. The object of this paper is to record the findings and prognosis of the discrete nerve lesion observed in these two cases, and in addition to sugge...

Hydatid disease is an extremely uncommon differential diagnosis in the cystic/lytic lesions of bone. We present a rare case of echinococcal infection of femur which presented as pathological fracture in a middle-aged female and diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. Hydatid disease of bone is often asymptomatic, and its diagnosis is usually made when lesions have become extensive.

A male aged 54 years presented with a pathological fracture of the right femur at the subtrochanteric level. The fracture site showed a lytic lesion with expansion of the bone, considered to be a metastasis. On histology, however, the area turned out to be malakoplakia of bone. The patient responded well to antibiotics and sulphonamides along with skeletal traction. This appears to be the fourt...

Abstract Background: Nasal tuberculosis (NTB) is rare, but it can be caused by either a pulmonary disease or a retrograde involvement of the nose by lupus vulgaris of the facial skin. In this study, we present a case of NTB with an ulcerative lesion in her left nasal cavity. Case presentation: A 56 years old woman presented with an ulcerative lesion in her left nasal cavity. The patient exhib...

Cerebral lesions may alter the capability of bilingual subjects to separate their languages and use each language in appropriate contexts. Patients who show pathological mixing intermingle different languages within a single utterance. By contrast, patients affected by pathological switching alternate their languages across different utterances (a self contained segment of speech that stands on...

congenital granular cell tumor (gct) is a relatively rare intraoral benign tumor, approximately 200 cases of which have been reported in the neonatal period worldwide. the newborn infant may have feeding problems and respiratory difficulties due to airway obstruction. this lesion may be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography and simple resection is mostly required. we report a case of an adult t...
