Computed tomographic features of destructive granulomatous rhinitis with intracranial extension secondary to leishmaniasis in a cat

Abstract Review of 70 children presenting with a solitary nontraumatic lump on the head revealed that 61% ofthe lesions were dermoid tumor, 9% were cephalhematoma deformans, 1% were eosinophilic granuloma, and 4% were occult menin goceles and encephaloceles. Most of the dermoid cysts occurred along sutural lines, but some did not. One of the eosinophilic granulomas was located over the sagittal suture. Seventeen per cent of the “lumps” had significant intracranial extension. An additional 20% of the lumps extended intracranially, but only to the dura mater. Work-up of these lesions should include initial plain skull roentgenograms to assess multiplicity and appropriate computed tomographic scans to assess possible intracranial extension.

Abstract The authors describe a case of a giant intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the occipital bone with an intracranial extension in the posterior fossa and no signs of neurological involvement. The lesion started as a painless lump under the scalp. Roentgenographic and computed tomographic findings led to a correct diagnosis, and the complete removal of the cyst was accomplished, despite its large size. The total removal of these cysts is associated with a good prognosis.

Abstract An 8-year-old boy presented with acute proptosis of the right eye. Examination revealed 8 mm of exophthalmos, limitation of upward gaze, optic disc swelling, and normal visual acuity, but an inferonasal quadrantic visual field defect. Orbital ultrasound and computed tomographic scanning demonstrated a superotemporal tumor of the right orbit with intracranial extension. At operation, this proved to be a “reparative” giant cell granuloma. After partial resection, the remaining mass resolved spontaneously without further specific treatment. There had been no recurrence at the 1-year follow-up examination. (Neurosurgery 16:75–81, 1985)

ABSTRACT Background Ocular myiasis or ophthalmomyiasis means the infestation of the eye on a background of foul smelling skin infection or advanced case of skin cancers. Older people, immunocompromised patients with orbital carcinomas, diabetics and patients on immunosuppressive therapy, poor environmental sanitation and personal hygiene are prone for this infestation. Case report A 72-year-old female reported to us with extensive myiasis of the right eye. Lesion of 4 × 4 cm at the medial canthus and the right maxillary region with the right nasal dorsum was infested with maggots. All the larvae were removed with forceps and the wound debrided. Intervention The larvae were present for a week and on healing the wound was evaluated with computed tomographic (CT) scan paranasal sinuses with axial and coronal section. As no bony erosion and intracranial extension was noted hence considering the age and diabetic status surgery was not contemplated and the lesion was irradiated. Conclusion Ocular myiasis is a rare disease, accompanied by marked inflammatory reactions and secondary bacterial infections with massive destruction and life-threatening consequences, such as intracranial invasion. Prompt management with debridement and radical antibacterial therapy is essential. How to cite this article Naik SM, Nanjundappa A, Halkud R, Gupta S.

Inflammatory Tissue

Abstract A patient with intracranial extension of an orbital pseudotumor is reported. This rare consequence of an unusual inflammatory process has been reported on only two previous occasions. Our patient initially presented with unilateral loss of vision and a mass in the sphenoid sinus. Transsphenoidal biopsy revealed inflammatory tissue with a predominance of plasma cells. Over 2 years later, computed tomographic scanning demonstrated involvement of the ipsilateral frontal lobe, and craniotomy revealed invasion of both the dura mater and the cortex by this inflammatory process. Immunohistochemical staining for B and T cells was done to rule out lymphoma, and extensive cultures and staining were performed to identify any infectious process. Because this progressive lesion did not respond to steroid treatment, radiation therapy to the affected area was carried out. Orbital pseudotumor should be considered when an inflammatory process is identified in the meninges and cortex of the anterior fossa. (18:798–801, 1986)

Abstract. Although management paradigms for certain arterial trauma, such as aortic injuries, have moved towards an endovascular approach, the application of endovascular techniques for the treatment of peripheral arterial injuries continues to be debated. In the realm of peripheral vascular trauma, popliteal arterial injuries remain a devastating condition with significant rates of limb loss. Expedient management is essential and surgical revascularization has been the gold standard. Initial clinical assessment of vascular injury is aided by readily available imaging techniques such as duplex ultrasonography and high resolution computed tomographic angiography. Conventional catheter based angiography, however, remain the gold standard in the determination of vascular injury. There are limited data examining the outcomes of endovascular techniques to address popliteal arterial injuries. In this review, we examine the imaging modalities and current approaches and data regarding endovascular techniques for the management popliteal arterial trauma.
