Central Neurocytoma: Rare Presentation in Fourth Ventricle and Review of Literature

The Limb Body Wall Complex (LBWC) aka. Body Stalk Syndrome is an uncommon congenital disorder characterized by severe malformations of limb, thorax, and abdomen, characterized by the presence of thoracoschisis, abdominoschisis, limb defects, and exencephaly. This condition is extremely rare with an incidence of 1 per 14,000 and 1 per 31,000 pregnancies in large epidemiologic studies. Majority of these malformed fetuses end up with spontaneous abortions. We present this rare case with occurrence in a preterm infant of 35 weeks gestation. Our report highlights majority of the clinical presentations as reported in previous literature, but the significant pathological findings of absent genitalia and malformed genitourinary, anorectal malformations make this case presentation an even more rare occurrence. Infant karyotyping was normal male and there is no specific underlying genetic correlation in this condition which has fatal prognosis.

Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome

<p>A schwannoma is a benign tumor that develops from the Schwann cells, which assists conduction of nerve impulses and located in the nerve sheath of peripheral or cranial nerves. Plexiform or multinodular Schwannoma of posterior tibial nerve is a rare presentation, can cause diagnostic dilemma with Lumbosacral radiculopathy, Tarsal tunnel syndrome, Entrapment neuropathy or Chronic regional pain syndrome. Unexplained leg pain, a positive Tinel's sign with or without a palpable swelling and Magnetic Resonance Imaging will clinch the diagnosis after excluding other causes. In symptomatic cases with long standing complaints, surgical resection yields satisfactory outcome. We present an interesting case of plexiform schawannoma along posterior tibial nerve with review of literature.</p>

Axial Mass

Medulloblastoma is a common paediatric posterior fossa tumour typically presenting as midline intra-axial mass involving the cerebellar vermis and/or roof of fourth ventricle with typical radiological features. These can be extra-axial in extremely rare instances with less than 50 cases reported so far in literature. We present a case of 18-year-old boy presenting with ataxia and headache. MRI showed dural mass (involving the left tentorium cerebellum) with typical imaging features of extra-axial lesion. The patient underwent near total excision of the tumour. Histopathology along with immunohistochemistry revealed the mass to be medulloblastoma. We present this case to highlight rarity of this location for medulloblastoma and the importance of considering this in the differential diagnosis of atypical posterior fossa extra-axial lesions. This can help in performing other relevant preoperative workup similar on the lines of medulloblastoma and planning of relevant management.

Case Presentation

Abstract Background: Subhepatic appendicitis is an exceedingly rare presentation accounting for 0.01% of Acute appendicitis. It is of prime importance to be aware of various variants and thereby managing such challenging cases accordingly.Case presentation: We present a middle-aged female patient with subhepatic perforated appendicitis and peritonitis who underwent an exploratory laparotomy and appendectomy.Conclusions: Surgical management of such patients is challenging due to an atypical presentation. The surgical management of such patients is discussed with a brief review of literature.
