Abstract Post-traumatic cervical epidural hematoma is an uncommon entity. A case is presented in which such a lesion developed after chiropractic manipulation of the neck. The patient presented with a Brown-Séquard syndrome, which has only rarely been reported in association with cervical epidural hematoma. The correct diagnosis was obtained by computed tomographic scanning. Surgical evacuation of the hematoma was followed by full recovery.

Angina bullosa hemorrhagica (ABH) is a rare, benign disorder characterized by one or multiple blood-filled blisters in the oral cavity (mainly soft palate, and sometimes oropharynx) with a sudden onset, that may lead to a potentially threatened airway. The most common hypothesis of its unknown origin is mild trauma. This lesion can easily be confused with other mucosal diseases or hematological disorders. Knowledge of the condition is important for correct diagnosis and treatment. Incision of the bulla, intubation, or even tracheotomy may be indicated. Here we present a case of 35-year-old woman with a complaint of dysphagia without dyspnea. During oral examination, a blue and/or purple blister on the soft palate was present. On endoscopic examination, an edematous uvula was observed, without other abnormalities. Eventually, the blister ruptured spontaneously and healed within one week without any sequelae.

Abstract Although inguinal hernias are common, inguinal herniation of the urinary bladder wall is rare. Moreover, the complete migration of the urinary bladder into the scrotum is considered less frequent. The majority of patients with bladder hernias are asymptomatic and diagnosis is made intraoperatively; however, difficulties in urination may lead to the correct diagnosis. We report about a case of a large right-sided scrotal hernia with complete bladder herniation presenting without urological symptoms.

Abstract A 6-month-old girl had a gradually increasing head circumference. A preoperative computed tomographic (CT) scan of the head revealed an enhancing calcified partially cystic right frontal mass that was removed through a right frontotemporal craniotomy. On microscopic examination, the tumor was composed of sheets of neurons in a glial background alternating with highly cellular anaplastic areas. The diagnosis of anaplastic ganglioglioma was made. The child has done well for the 20 months since the operation without any evidence of tumor recurrence on subsequent CT scans. Because of the immaturity of the child's developing central nervous system, we have elected not to initiate radiotherapy at this time. The pertinent literature regarding gangliogliomas is reviewed.
