Six years later, when she was released, she had lost almost all motor control, displayed a number of stereotypies, was incontinent of both faeces and urine, and was diagnosed as having grand mal epilepsy. After four years of treatment (aged 13) she had shown considerable improvement and her mental age was seven years.

Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) is a rare progressive genetically heterogenous disorder with pediatric onset. DRD is 3 times as prevalent in women than in men. This article reports a clinical case of DRD in a young female presenting with paraparesis, foot dystonia (more pronounced in the right foot) and pronounced walking impairment, who was admitted for emergency treatment to a Neurology Unit. Based on the additional tests, which included a levodopa trial and Sanger sequencing, the patient was diagnosed with DRD. Levodopa caused a considerable improvement of the symptoms. The article describes the clinical features of the disease, talks about its differential diagnosis, genetic predisposition and treatment strategy.

Primary osteosarcomas of the bladder account for about 0.04% ofbladder neoplasms. Most of the patients in the literature expiredwithin 6 months and, in almost all of the cases in the literature,radical cystectomy with postoperative chemotherapy was thetreatment choice. A 79-year-old gentleman presented with grosshematuria. Cystoscopy demonstrated a 2- to 3-cm tumour along thelateral wall of the bladder. The tumour was resected incompletelyvia initial transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT), anda second TURBT was subsequently performed to fully resect theresidual mass. Surgical pathology from these 2 resections revealedosteosarcoma with invasion into the muscularis propria. Acystoprostatectomy was performed and final pathologic specimenrevealed high-grade CIS without evidence of residual osteosarcoma.Postoperatively, the patient did not receive chemotherapy orradiation and currently remains disease-free 2 years post-radicalcystectomy. Only 33 well-documented cases of primary osteosarcomaof the bladder have been reported to date. However, thereare only 3 cases in which TURBT resulted in complete resection.

Objective: The following case report and discussion is intended to increase awareness of the difficulties in diagnosing pheochromocytoma when a primary psychiatric diagnosis is first suspected. Method: The case of a middle-aged combat veteran who was admitted with agitation and flashbacks is presented. Episodes of hypertension were initially believed to be related to agitation or alcohol withdrawal. When the hypertensive episodes persisted, further evaluation revealed a pheochromocytoma. In three years' follow-up since removal of the tumor, the patient has shown considerable improvement in the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Conclusions: Pheochromocytoma should be considered in patients with psychiatric disorders if a pattern of hypertensive episodes persists or worsens. The case highlights the importance of medical evaluation in patients presenting with psychiatric complaints.

Abstract Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare condition characterized by varying degrees of gingival hyperplasia. Gingival fibromatosis usually occurs as an isolated disorder or can be associated with a variety of other syndromes. A 33-year-old male patient who had a generalized severe gingival overgrowth covering two thirds of almost all maxillary and mandibular teeth is reported. A mucoperiosteal flap was performed using interdental and crevicular incisions to remove excess gingival tissues and an internal bevel incision to reflect flaps. The patient was treated 15 years ago in the same clinical facility using the same treatment strategy. There was no recurrence one year following the most recent surgery.

Abstract Chondroblastoma of spine is very rare condition. To best of our knowledge, fewer than 30 cases have been reported in the world literature. Almost all of them involved both anterior & posterior component of vertebra. There are only few reports with isolated posterior element involvement. Clinical presentation of paraparesis because of vertebral chondroblastoma is very rare. This case report presents 17 yr old male with chondroblastoma involving posterior thoracic vertebra presenting with quadriparesis which improved after successful treatment. Early diagnosis and complete excision with periodic follow up is necessary for treatment of this disease.
