Cell Lining

AbstractEpendymomas are usually infratentorial and intraventricular. They originate from the ependymal cell lining of the ventricles. Cortical extraventricular supratentorial ependymomas are rare and fewer than 15 cases are reported worldwide. In pediatric age group, seven cases are reported. We report a rare case of 4-year-old boy with right frontoparietal anaplastic ependymoma who underwent gross total excision of lesion.

AbstractThe authors report a rare case of dual chronic ossified epidural hematomas (EDHs) in a 35-year-old man with complaint of seizures after 23 years of head injury. Ossified EDH is a rare entity, and it commonly presents in pediatric age group. Presenting symptoms include headache and very rarely seizures. Asymptomatic cases may produce symptoms after decades; hence, regular follow-up is required. Treatment includes craniotomy or conservative management.

Neck-Tongue Syndrome is a rare entity, and when it presents in the pediatric age group, it is usually due to osseous, ligamentous, or nervous anatomic variation. We present below a case involving a patient whose bilateral symptoms were intermittently present from the age of five to the age of twenty-one years and discuss this case in light of the present theories of the anatomic substrate underlying this syndrome.

Canal Of Nuck

A hydrocele of canal of Nuck is a rare condition seen in females, commonly in the pediatric age group. The canal of Nuck is an extension of peritoneum into the inguinal canal through the deep ring, analogous to the processus vaginalis in males. Incomplete proximal obliteration and collection of serous fluid in the sac leads to the formation of a hydrocele of canal of Nuck. Here we present a rare case of hydrocele of canal of Nuck in an adult female.

Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) of the mediastinum is an aggressive tumor that is extremely rare. To date, only 24 cases of the mediastinal MRT have been reported in adults and 9 cases in the pediatric age group under the age of 18 years. We report a rare case of such tumor and review the literature on its clinical and imaging features as well as its treatment and prognostic outcomes.

Background: Neurofibroma (NF) remains a rare entity among various scrotal masses in the pediatric age group. We report a case of solitary intrascrotal extra testicular plexiform neurofibroma in a 6-year-old child with the clinical management of this rare entity and review of the literature.   Case Summary: A 6-year-old male presented with incidentally noticed intrascrotal swelling. Clinical examination confirmed the presence of solitary intrascrotal swelling with normal testis. Radiological imaging showed the presence of a hypoechoic mass in the left hemiscrotum with normal both testes. Surgical exploration showed the presence of unencapsulated soft tissue mass and histopathological examination (HPE) confirmed the diagnosis of plexiform neurofibroma. Thorough evaluation ruled out features of neurofibromatosis 1 thus confirming the diagnosis of solitary intrascrotal extratesticular plexiform neurofibroma. Complete surgical excision resulted in satisfactory recovery with no recurrence on follow-up Conclusion: Neurofibroma although rare should be considered as a differential in the diagnosis of an intrascrotal mass in the pediatric age group. The benign nature of the lesion and extratesticular origin usually makes testis sparing surgical excision feasible which remains the treatment of choice with excellent prognosis and minimal chances of recurrence. A thorough histopathological examination is mandatory to rule out neurofibromatosis.

Initial Injury

ABSTRACT Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea is common in traumatic penetrating nasal injuries. In the pediatric age group, we often encounter self-inflicted foreign body injuries of blunt type, which rarely leads to any complications. We came across a case of CSF rhinorrhea due to self-inflicted penetrating nasal injury, after 7 years of initial injury. In this case, the sharp end of a screw nail had injured the fovea ethmoidalis and caused a meningoencephalocele on removal, which had been asymptomatic until 4 years ago, when the patient came with CSF rhinorrhea. Miraculously, there were no complications in the period before presentation and after surgical correction. How to cite this article Rajasekar MK, Sankar MR.
