Supratentorial primary neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) inside the third ventricle in adult: an rare case report

AbstractThe PNET of CNS are considered malignant undifferentiated tumors, and it represents about 2,8% of all tumors found on infants and teenagers, more rarely found on adults. In the present article will report the case of a patient, male, 23 years-old, with nodular lesion inside the third ventricle, admitted on emergency room with acute intense headache, drowsiness, vomiting and visual clouding, started three days before. Although there have been advances in diagnosis and treatment of PNET in children, few publications were found on the efficiency of available treatment options on adults. In our patient the lesion was completely removed by a anterosuperior interhemispheric transcallosal craniotomy, and subsequently diagnosed as PNET by anatomopathological. Postoperative hydrocephaly was installed and reverted with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, with clinical and neurological status improvement. The patient died 18 months after diagnosis, due to respiratory hospitalar infection.

ABSTRACTHuman coenurosis is a rare zoonotic disease caused by the larvae of Tinea multiceps seen in sheep-rearing countries. We report the case of a 63-year-old male who was referred to our hospital with a working diagnosis of skull base chondrosarcoma. Histopathological examination after surgical excision revealed characteristic feature of coenurus with multiple scolices invaginating from the outer cuticular layer. Coenuri are often mistaken for giant cysticercal cysts and hydatid cysts. Despite its wide prevalence in cattle, only two cases of human coenurosis are reported from India till date. We report the third case from India.

Rare Case Report

Precocious puberty is defined as children attaining puberty more than 2.5 to 3 standard deviations (SD) earlier than the median age, or before the age of eight years in girls and nine years in boys. Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) are rare, non progressive tumor like malformation. Precocious puberty due to HH occurs particularly at early ages, even 2 or 3 years. Treatment options for isolated CPP due to HH include GnRH analogs agonists continuously stimulates pituitary gonadotrophs, which further help in decreasing and desensitizing the release of LH, and to a lesser extent, FSH till the time puberty naturally set in. We present a case of precocious puberty due to hypothalamic hamartoma in 3 years old girl. Treated with GnRH analog lupirode and responded well to treatment with cessation of menstruation and reduction in breast size.

Rare Case Report

ABSTRACT Hypodontia is the term used to describe the developmental absence of one or more primary or permanent teeth, excluding the third molars. It is the most commonly occurring developmental dental anomaly and can be a challenge to manage clinically. Hypodontia can occur in association with syndrome or it may occur in nonsyndromic patient. Bilateral occurrence is common but it is very rare to see two bilateral congenital missing teeth in a nonsyndromic patient. This case report presents a rare occurrence of congenital bilateral missing mandibular second premolars and mandibular lateral incisors in a nonsyndromic patient.

Rare Case Report

ABSTRACT Paranasal sinus anatomical anomalies with unknown etiology are common. Paranasal sinus-related diseases are associated with so high rate of morbidities, it becomes essential to identify the structure and pathophysiology of the paranasal sinuses. Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool in displaying its anatomy, any anatomic variations and diseases. As paranasal sinus development is a complex and long-lasting process, there are great structural variations between individuals. Maxillary and/or frontal sinus aplasia or hypoplasia are more common than the other types. Several degrees and combinations of aplasias and hypoplasias have been reported; however, there is only two case of total paranasal sinus aplasia in the literature. Here, we present the third case of total paranasal sinus aplasia, and the first ever case reported from India. How to cite this article Joshi A, Sundarray C, Sahoo KA. Bilateral Total Aplasia of Paranasal Sinuses: A Rare Case Report. Clin Rhinol An Int J 2015;8(3):124-126.
