Central Nervous System Bleeding

This article describes an unusual presentation of disseminated oligodendroglial-like leptomeningeal tumour. A previously healthy 23-year-old Caucasian woman presented with headache, photophobia and recurrent seizures. Initial investigations were suggestive of subarachnoid haemorrhage. Her symptoms deteriorated rapidly and within weeks she developed complete blindness and diffuse sensory ataxia. The aim of this article is to increase awareness of this rare disease, especially in patients who present with acute, rapidly progressive neurological symptoms with signs of acute or chronic central nervous system bleeding.

Thymic Cysts

Thymic cysts are usually diagnosed accidentally during radiological evaluation of the chest for unrelated conditions. Symptoms appear late when the mass compresses on adjoining tissues. We report an unusual case of asymptomatic mediastinal thymic cyst which was seen in the neck whenever the patient was asked to perform Valsalva maneuver. This case is being reported for the unusual clinical presentation of a rare disease. The role of imaging in the diagnosis and common differential diagnoses are also discussed.

Tubercular Lesion

Tuberculosis of breast is a rare disease even in endemic areas accounting for 0.1%- 0.5% of all infections. Multiparous young females are commonly affected particularly during pregnancy and lactation. In the present study, we are reporting a case of tuberculosis of breast with ipsilateral axillary involvement in a multiparous young non lactating female. Diagnosis was confirmed after cytological evaluation. Clinical or radiological distinction of mammary tuberculosis from breast carcinoma or abscess is often difficult to achieve. Cytology is an effective method for confirmation of these uncommon disorder an also can reduce unnecessary surgery which should be restricted for complicated cases.

Adverse Pregnancy

Hereditary hypofibrinogenemia is a rare disease and the usual presentation is difficult to stop bleeding or hamatoma in the muscle or intracranial space after injury. There may also be adverse pregnancy outcome, and increased tendency to throm­bosis. The usual measure is replacement of fibrinogen. Here a case of this rare disease with unusual presentation is reported, and the special aspects of management are discussed.
