In this case report, we describe an “uncommon” case of axial gouty arthropathy in a 69-year-old woman with bilateral sciatica that was thoroughly evaluated with conventional radiography, CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging, bone scintigraphy, and PET-CT. Axial gouty arthropathy should be included in the differential diagnosis of chronic low back pain, mainly when several risk factors for gout are present.

An unusual clinical finding is presented with a brief review of the literature. Synovial osteochondromatosis is typically a benign process involving metaplasia of the synovial intima and the formation of cartilaginous nodules that may eventually become ossified. Synovial osteochondromatosis should always be considered as a differential diagnosis whenever a patient presents with pain, swelling, and loss of function at or around a joint. Chondrosarcoma has been misdiagnosed, leading to radical and unnecessary amputation, because synovial osteochondromatosis has not been considered. Alternatively, synovial osteochondromatosis may degenerate to or be associated with a malignant process. When radiographs or more sophisticated investigative procedures, such as magnetic resonance imaging, fail to provide a conclusive answer, histologic findings provide the definitive diagnosis.

Currently, two staging systems are used: the International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS), which relies on surgical staging, and the International Neroblastoma Risk Group Stading System (INRGSS), which relies on preoperative imaging for staging and image-defined risk. The article presents a review of the literature on image defined risk factors (IDRF) determined during radiological studies (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) in patients with neuroblastoma. The article focuses on the definition of IDRFs, their prevalence and their influence on surgical outcomes and prognosis of patients with neuroblastoma.

AbstractObjective:To highlight a case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension presenting to the ENT surgeon.Method:We present a case report and a review of the literature concerning spontaneous intracranial hypotension.Results:Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a rare diagnosis, particularly to the ENT surgeon. We report a patient with tinnitus, hearing loss and headache, symptoms suggestive of an ENT diagnosis such as Ménière's disease or vestibular schwannoma. However, magnetic resonance imaging revealed the characteristic findings of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. The patient's symptoms resolved, except for a mild residual tinnitus, with conservative management alone.Conclusion:This case highlights the importance of considering spontaneous intracranial hypotension as a differential diagnosis of certain ENT symptoms.
