<p>We describe 3 rare cases of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the head and neck region. Our first case was a 72 years old male presented with profuse bleeding from the left ear. On examination, proliferative, pink, friable mass was present in the left external auditory canal. On eliciting the detailed history, it was found that patient had renal cell carcinoma in the left kidney four years back and underwent left radical nephrectomy. Patient underwent left lateral temporal bone resection with cul-de-sac closure. Histopathological examination of the specimen showed metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Our second case was a 64 years old male presented with complaints of growth in the oral cavity of 1 month duration. On examination, 5×3 cms proliferative growth was present in the hard palate. Biopsy from the growth in the hard palate showed metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Patient gave history of renal cell carcinoma in the past for which he did not receive treatment. Our third case was a 45 years old male who presented to us with a diffuse swelling in the left temporal region of 2 months duration. On examination, 3×2 cms swelling was present in the left temporal region. Patient had history of renal cell carcinoma of left kidney and underwent left nephrectomy one year prior to the presentation of the left temporal swelling. Ultrasonography guided biopsy of the left temporal region showed metastatic renal cell carcinoma.</p>

Case presentation: A 36-year-old male presented with moderate, progressive headache, in the left temporal region, irradiating to the ipsilateral frontal region, with several months of evolution, refractory to analgesic medication, including opioids. He reported a closed traumatic brain injury (TBI) 5 years before in a motorcycle collision with an automobile, without a helmet. At the physical examination, it was possible to verify a pulsatile mass measuring 1.5 cm in diameter, with fremitus, in the left temporal region. The magnetic resonance imaging scan presented a round lesion, encapsulated, on the course of the superficial temporal artery (STA). The digital subtraction angiography confirmed the diagnosis of STA pseudoaneurysm. A surgical resection of the aneurysm was performed, leading to the complete resolution of the headache. Discussion: The STA pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition, representing less than 1% of aneurysms, usually presenting as a late complication of TBI. The majority of cases are asymptomatic, although focal symptoms and even bleeding may occur. The presentation with a chronic refractory headache is exceptional. Its treatment is indicated for local symptom resolution, aesthetic purposes, and rupture prevention, done by clipping and resection of the pseudoaneurysm. Conclusion: Even though unusual, the awareness of this condition is important for the etiological diagnosis of a persistent temporal headache in a patient with a history of TBI.

Objective: Post-stroke mania has rarely been noted and researched, and reported cases have mostly involved the non-dominant hemisphere. In this paper, we report a case of bipolar disorder secondary to a stroke over the dominant hemisphere. Clinical picture: A 48-year-old, right-handed man had a cerebral infarct over the left temporal region. He became depressed after the stroke, and 4 months later developed a manic episode. Treatment: The patient was treated with haloperidol and lorazepam. Outcome: The symptoms subsided within 2 months after treatment. Conclusions: It is premature to consider mania to be a syndrome of the right, or non-dominant, hemisphere. We suggest that further study focusing on specific anatomical regions, rather than laterality, will help to elucidate the interrelationship between mood and brain function.

Traumatic aneurysms comprise less than 1% of all intracranial aneurysms. Most of these aneurysms are actually false aneurysms, or pseudoaneurysms, which are caused by the rupture of entire vessel wall layers, with the wall of the aneurysm being formed by the surrounding cerebral structures. Traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the middle meningeal artery are also rare. Only four cases have been reported in the literature with intracerebral hematoma. In this paper, the authors report a case of a patient with a ruptured traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the MMA who presented with an intracerebral hematoma in the left temporal region immediately after trauma; the patient underwent endovascular treatment.

Camel bite represents a minimal proportion, and most of them are from the Middle East countries. Their infectious potential is poorly understood, and the guidelines for antimicrobial treatment are not well developed. We describe a 40-year-old male, who works as a camel herder and was bitten by a camel while he was tying it down which led to a unilateral depressed skull fracture and multiple bilateral teeth-puncture wounds in the scalp. He arrived to our emergency department 3 hours after injury. All the wounds were dry and the skin around them was healthy looking with no subcutaneous collections. CT scan of the head showed depressed skull fracture on the left temporal region. Within 12 hours, the patient developed spreading cellulitis in the scalp. This necessitated an urgent surgical intervention. The added challenge is the presence of a dural breach. Our patient presented a challenge at several levels. He presented early with clean puncture wounds that were treated according to the most agreed upon guidelines. But our novel finding of rapidly spreading cellulitis requires alteration of recommendation towards more aggressive therapeutic attitude including early surgical intervention, especially for those patients suspected of a dural tear with the depressed skull fracture, even if treated with appropriate antibiotics.
