Various types of sarcomas arise as a result of postradiation chronic fibrous pericarditis. A primary undifferentiated spindle cell pericardial sarcoma is a rare type of sarcoma after radiotherapy. The risk of sarcoma increases with time after treatment of cancer. A 55-year-old woman underwent successful radiation and chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma 20 years ago. She was hospitalized with typical manifestations of severe heart failure. Echocardiography, сomputed tomography of the chest and magnetic resonance imaging scan of the heart detected neoplastic formations of the pericardium. A biopsy of the pericardium was performed. Histological, immunohistochemical, and genetic studies showed a primary undifferentiated spindle cell pericardial sarcoma (an extremely rare type of sarcoma).

Abstract A 26-year-old woman was treated for a prolactin secreting pituitary adenoma by surgery and radiotherapy (5860 rads). Fourteen months later, she developed right hemiparesis and dysarthria. A T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scan using gadolinium contrast showed a small, enhanced lesion in the upper pons. Seven months later, she had a sudden onset of loss of vision, and radiation optic neuropathy was diagnosed. A T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scan showed widespread gadolinium-enhanced lesions in the optic chiasm, optic tract, and hypothalamus. Magnetic resonance imaging is indispensable for the early diagnosis of radiation necrosis, which is not visualized by radiography or computed tomography.

Purpose: To report a case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in a 75 year-old patient who was taking concomitant ciprofloxacin and metronidazole. Method: Case report Results: A patient had been prescribed ciprofloxacin and metronidazole during a recent hospitalization and continued this regimen outpatient. Two weeks after discharge and 3 weeks after initiation of her regimen, she was brought to the emergency department after developing acute weakness and lightheadedness. After admission, the patient declined more rapidly and began seizing with subsequent intubation. Initial computed tomographic (CT) imaging showed no acute neurological abnormalities, and a sepsis workup was initiated. After negative CT, a magnetic resonance imaging scan was performed that showed a T2 flair and hyperdensity consistent with PRES. The final diagnosis was considered to be PRES secondary to ciprofloxacin/metronidazole utilization. Conclusion: Antibiotic induced PRES is a condition that needs to be explored more thoroughly.

We present a case of solitary vascular tumor on posterior cranial fossa in a 15-year-old female who had a complaint of headache on/off for six months with associated dizziness, nausea, vomiting and vertigo. Well circumscribed solid vascular mass was localized on posterior fossa by computed tomography along with magnetic resonance imaging scan. Furthermore, the diagnosis was confirmed by surgical findings and histological examinations.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Vol. 14, No. 2,  2017 Page: 47-50

Abstract Three cases of a mobile cauda equina schwannoma, preoperatively diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging, are described. When dealing with tumors of the cauda equina, it is important to carry out a second magnetic resonance imaging scan after changes in posture, bearing in mind the possibility of mobility of the tumor.

A 75-year-old gentleman presented to our department with dysphagia, nocturnal cough and dysphonia. Clinical examination revealed a large parapharyngeal mass extending from the left nasopharynx to the glottis. A magnetic resonance imaging scan confirmed the lipomatous nature of the lesion and elegantly demonstrated its anatomy. We discuss the aetiology and management of such lesions and focus on the diagnostic radiology of the parapharyngeal space.
