We report a rare case of entrapment of the basilar artery into the sphenoid bone caused by a longitudinal fracture of the clivus. Using high resolution three-dimensional flat panel angiography, we show preservation of the basilar artery perforators in spite of severe stenosis of the entrapped segment of the basilar artery. There were no obvious signs and symptoms of posterior fossa stroke clinically or radiographically as far as could be assessed under given clinical circumstances.

Torticollis is a clinical diagnosis with heterogeneous causes. We present an unusual case of acquired torticollis in an 8-month-old female infant with a large cerebellopontine angle arachnoid cyst. Symptoms resolved after surgical fenestration. Non-traumatic acquired or new-onset torticollis requires brain imaging, and posterior fossa lesions are an important entity in the differential for pediatric clinicians.

Abstract ENT surgeons frequently encounter a variety of neoplastic, non-neoplastic and inflammatory masses involving the nasal cavity, the paranasal sinuses or the nasopharynx. Among these, the angiomatous polyp or angiectatic nasal polyps are rare and account for 4-5% of all inflammatory nasal polyps. They have variable growth patterns and clinical features. In angiomatous nasal polyps, there is a prominent component of dilated capillary-type blood vessels. We present a review of the literature regarding the most important features of this pathology and an unusual case of a large angiomatous polyp arising from the maxillary sinus.

AbstractIntracranial hemangiopericytoma is unusual, and those occurring in the posterior fossa are extremely rare. Surgery followed by radiotherapy is the mainstay of treatment. These tumors are known to recur locally and distant metastases are reported. Multicentricity either in the primary setting or in recurrent setting is rarely reported. We report here a rare case of multicentric posterior fossa hemangiopericytoma occurring in a 38-year-old man at two different intervals. The patient underwent total excision of right tentorial hemangiopericytoma in 2013, followed by radiotherapy. After being free from disease for 3 years, he developed a similar lesion on left tentorial leaflet in 2016 for which a total excision was once again done followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.

Unusual Case Report

Abstract Ventriculitis is a potentially life-threatening infection, and an early diagnosis is essential for the appropriate treatment of ventriculitis. Unsuspected ventriculitis might be a source of persistent infection and therapeutic failure in the management of meningitis. We present a rare case of spontaneous ventriculitis in a patient of acomm aneurysm who was neither immunocompromised nor any intervention was done on him.

Nasal Chondromesenchymal Hamartoma

Hamartomas are considered a mixture of nonneoplastic tissue, which may be indigenous to a different location in the body. As such, they may be epithelial, mesenchymal, or mixed. In the sinonasal region, the following hamartomatous lesions are considered to lie on a spectrum and include respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH), chondro-osseous respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (COREAH), and nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma (NCMH). To our knowledge, less than 50 cases of sinonasal hamartomas have been reported in the English literature so far with NCMH being very rare and primarily a tumor in infancy, with only 2 cases reported in individuals older than 16 years of age. We report a highly unusual case of a NCMH in the right maxillary sinus of a 70-year-old female.
