AbstractInfections of the central nervous system are a medical emergency, potentially lethal and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We present the case of a male with risk factors and clinical deterioration, in which the brain computed tomography scan showed a subdural collection following a head injury, which underwent surgical evacuation revealing a subdural empyema. The culture of the subdural collection yielded a positive result to Enterobacter cloacae.

AbstractThe main manifestations of novel coronavirus usually include fever and cough. Neurological manifestations have not been properly identified in children. A 65-day-old infant was hospitalized due to poor feeding, weakness, lethargy, and occasional cough. She suffered several seizures during her hospitalization. The brain computed tomography scan depicted a minor hemorrhage. Due to the exacerbation of her condition during hospital stay and the presence of respiratory symptoms in her parents, coronavirus disease was suspected. Reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of coronavirus was positive for both: child and parents. In children with neurological manifestations such as lethargy, recurrent seizures, cerebral hemorrhage, and clinical evidence of respiratory symptoms in his/her relatives, PCR testing for coronavirus is recommended.

Ischemic stroke following snakebite is rare. We report a case of a 55-year-old male who developed headache with expressive aphasia following a Russell’s viper bite. Computed tomography scan of the brain revealed infarcts in bilateral frontal lobes. The possible mechanisms for cerebral infarction in this scenario are discussed, which include disseminated intravascular coagulation, toxin-induced vasculitis, and endothelial damage. In viper bites, whenever there is any central nervous system manifestations or deficits, immediate computed tomography scan of the brain should be taken to delineate the underlying pathology, whether hemorrhagic or ischemic, as treatments differ in both situations. Although ischemic stroke is rare in viper bites, if the treatment is started early, the neurological deficits can be minimized.

ABSTRACTHydatid cysts commonly affect liver and lung but it can also affect the brain in rare cases. We report a case of 22 year female with history of headache for one and half years. Intracranial hydatid cyst was diagnosed on computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging. The cyst was delivered without rupture using hydrostatic dissection followed by post‑operative anthelminthic medication. Surgery remains to be the standard management. Amongst the surgical techniques described, Dowling’s technique is the most acceptable. However, care must be taken in to avoid rupture of the cyst peroperatively which can result in subsequent complications and recurrence. Albendazole and corticosteroids can be used as adjunct to surgical treatment in selective cases.
