AbstractSchwannomas are the fourth most common primary neoplasms affecting the brain and cranial nerves. Central lesions commonly arise from sensory nerve roots, and a common intracranial site is the vestibular branch of the 8th nerve (>85%). We present the case report of a patient who has a schwannoma extending from the pterygopalatine fossa to the orbit, complaining about facial pain in the trajectory of the trigeminal ophthalmic branch. Schwannomas represent 1 to 2% of all neoplasms of the orbit, and trigeminal schwannomas are extremely rare, accounting for less than 0.5% of all intracranial tumors.

The article summarizes information about the head ganglia (the sympathetic ganglia and in the sensory cranial nerves). Gives а brief historical background on the history issue and relevance of the topic. Characterized by each node with its topography and lesion clinic. The described process of treatment, and prospects for new therapies. Raised the issue of the significance of the defeat ganglia, namely, the suffering of the sick and forced treatment costs (due to the complex differential diagnosis). In a biological sense, pain first appears in chordates and during evolution, as well as transformations of the brain and spinal cord, it acquires new types, localization and significance for the performance of a living organism. And facial pain, being a nosology with a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosis and treatment, demonstrates both its complexity and importance in human life.

In childhood, various infectious, autoimmune, genetic diseases can manifest. We present a case of fatal encephalomyelopolyradiculoneuritis of unknown etiology in a 9-year-old child. Patient N.K. in February 2019, noted an increase in temperature to subfebrile values, received symptomatic and antibiotic therapy without effect. An increase in protein and lymphocytes was found in the cerebrospinal fluid. According to MRI data, the emergence of more and more foci of the pathological signal in the brain and spinal cord, cranial nerves and nerve roots of the lumbar plexus was noted. Known infectious and autoimmune diseases were excluded. Despite active therapy with glucocorticoids, antibiotics, antiviral drugs, immunoglobulin, the disease continued to progress, and the patient died in April 2020.

In that communication the peripheral distribution of the sensory nerve-roots of the sacro-lumbar and the thoracic regions was examined. In the present the examination is extended to the cervical and brachial sensory roots, and to the skin distribution of the cranial nerves.

Initial Resection

The most common tumours of the central nervous system, meningiomas are frequently diagnosed by accident when patients undergo imaging studies of the brain for other reasons. Most patients lack symptoms and thus can live their whole lives without knowing they have a brain tumour. Less fortunate patients seek medical advice for troubling symptoms – like seizures or disturbances of the cranial nerves – get surgery for the excision of the tumour and years later fi nd out their tumour has come back. We are presenting the case of such a patient with a recurrent parietal meningioma.

Abstract We report a case of HIV-associated vacuolar encephalomyelopathy with progressive central nervous system dysfunction and corresponding vacuolar degeneration of the spinal cord, cranial nerves, and brain, the anatomic extent of which has not previously been described. Vacuolar myelopathy classically presents as a spinal syndrome with progressive, painless gait disturbance in the setting of advanced HIV and AIDS. Vacuolar involvement of the brain and cranial nerves, as illustrated in this case report, is a newly described variant of this condition that we term vacuolar encephalomyelopathy.

Dermoid cyst of brain is a rare tumor arising due to embryogenic defect. It comprises only about 0.3% of intracranial tumors. A 18 year old female patient was admitted with complaints of seizures since last 6 months. The brain MRI suggested intra-axial dermoid cyst. The patient was operated & histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis of dermoid cyst.

Introduction: Stroke is the most common disease of the central nervous system. Whereas craniocerebral trauma is defined as the function of the skull bones, broken soft tissue continuity and / or brain contents, including cranial nerves and cerebrospinal opponents. Aim: The aim of the study was to present the importance of kinesitherapy in the process of improving a 72-year-old patient with craniocerebral trauma after an ischemic stroke of the left hemisphere of the brain. Material and Methods: The method of individual case was used in the work. The study included a patient aged 72 with craniocerebral trauma after an ischemic stroke of the left hemisphere of the brain. The description of the individual case study was based on the subject and subject tests performed before and after rehabilitation. Results: The physical examination used the Lovett test to assess muscle strength, range of joint mobility using a goniometer, measurement of limb circumferences and the Ashworth scale to assess spasticity. The tests and functional scales were carried out twice in the patient, in whom her clinical condition was assessed. Conclusions: Based on the case report, it was found that the kinesitherapy used improved the patient’s physical condition. The pain and lymphoedema she was struggling with decreased. A significant increase in the range of mobility, strength and muscle mass of the limbs affected by hemiparesis was also observed. Individually selected rehabilitation program has improved proprioception, standing and gait re-education. The patient moved with the help of orthopedic equipment in the form of elbows.

Brachial plexus is the plexus of nerves, that supplies the upper limb.Variations in the branches of brachial plexus are common but variations in the roots and trunks are very rare. Here, we report one of the such rare variations in the formations of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus in the right upper limb of a male cadaver. In the present case the lower trunk was formed by the union of ventral rami of C7,C8 and T1 nerve roots. The middle trunk was absent. Upper trunk formation was normal.
