AbstractBilateral vertex extra dural hematomas (EDH) are a rare form of extra dural hematomas with many unique features. We report one such case of bilateral vertex extra dural hematoma. A young house wife had a fall in the bathroom and sustained head injury. She showed clinical features of progressive raised intra cranial pressure. Neuroimaging revealed bilateral vertex EDH. The larger left sided hematoma was evacuated surgically while the smaller right sided hematoma was managed non operatively, with excellent outcome. This case report presents this rare case and briefly reviews the literature. Vertex EDH has a special uniqueness as to their etiopathology, clinical presentation, diagnosis & management principles.

Background: Keratoderma is a group of conditions characterized by hyperkeratosis affecting the skin on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands bilaterally. The classification of keratodermas depends on whether it is inherited or acquired and on its clinical features, including diffuse or focal involvement of the skin and the morphology of lesions present. Case Report: We describe the rare case of a 54-year-old female who presented with a nearly 40-year history of punctate keratoderma on her right palm and sole. History taking revealed that her biologic son also has unilateral left-sided keratoderma. The clinical presentation of unilateral keratoderma has been reported only four times in the literature.

Inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT) is a rare benign solid tumor in adults and children. The prevalence, etiology and pathogenesis of this condition are still uncertain. Despite the use of modern laboratory techniques and imaging, it is often difficult to make the diagnosis of IPT. Besides, occasionally the nonspecific morphological appearance and clinical presentation of the mass may mimic other more common primary or secondary neoplasms. IPT is commonly encountered in the lung and mediastinum. Other sites include abdomen (liver, pancreas, stomach, omentum), retroperitoneum, pelvis (bladder) and extremities in children. We report a rare case of gastric inflammatory pseudotumour in a 65-year-old female patient. Clinical presentations and its management along with review of literatures are presented.

Objective and Importance. To illustrate the development of a rare case of spontaneous subdural hematoma (SDH)  secondary to aplastic anemia and conservative treatment of SDH. Clinical Presentation. A 43-year-old male complained of severe progressive headaches that starting from one month ago. His laboratory values showed pancytopenia and his peripheral blood smear showed no abnormalities except lack of the number of erythrocytes, leukocyte, and thrombocyte and we could not find any malignancy in the smear. He experienced headache,  disorder of balance and decrease of consciousness  CT imaging of the head showed  a 7.0 cm (2 cm thickness) left frontal-parietal subdural hematoma. Conclusion. Aplastic anemia is a rare case with manifested of subdural hematoma.

AbstractMesentric fibromatosis is a proliferative fibroblastic neoplasm of the small intestinal mesentery with varied clinical presentation. Giant mesentric fibromatosis is uncommon and its rarity poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. This paper presents a recurrent aggressive fibromatosis in a 38 year old male patient, who had initially undergone a laparotomy outside for mass abdomen but only pus was evacuated and definitive diagnosis was not made.

Patient’S History

Bilateral Tessier no. 7 clefts are rarely reported in the literature. Here, we describe the presence of accessory maxilla with supernumerary teeth in a patient who exhibited bilateral Tessier no. 7 clefts; the diagnosis was established based on the patient’s history, clinical presentation, and computed tomography images. A review of the available literature revealed 24 patients with Tessier no. 7 clefts from 2000 to 2020, including our patient. The most common clinical manifestation in patients with Tessier no. 7 clefts comprises bilateral facial clefts. Additionally, Tessier no. 7 clefts are more frequently found in boys or men, rather than in girls or women. The presence of an accessory maxilla with supernumerary teeth in a patient with bilateral Tessier no. 7 clefts is extremely rare. Early detection of craniofacial abnormalities is important, because it may influence patient prognosis and management.

Cause Of Pain

A rare case of painful snapping around the Achilles tendon without reported injury in a healthy 30-year-old male amateur runner is reported. The plantaris tendon was firmly attached to the Achilles tendon by adhesions, and its movement was restricted and impaired. All adhesions were removed and the plantaris tendon was liberated during surgery, with an excellent outcome. This case showed that previously described removal of the snapping tendon is not necessary because liberation of the plantaris tendon restored function of both the plantaris and the Achilles tendons.
