Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is a rare inflammatory disorder of the scalp, affecting elderly patients after local trauma and leading to scarring or cicatricial alopecia. Case Report: An elderly female patient complained of painful pustules on the parietal region bilaterally with progressive enlargement and ulceration. A biopsy suggested erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp and the patient was treated with prednisone 40 mg/day and 0.1% topical tacrolimus. After 10 weeks complete closure of the eroded areas was observed and a stable scarring alopecia developed.

Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State

Diabetic striatopathy is a rare manifestation of diabetes mellitus. The disease commonly affects individuals of Asian descent, female, and the elderly. Patients usually present with hemiballism-hemichorea caused by hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state. Prompt recognition of a hyperglycemiainduced hemiballism-hemichorea is essential because the symptoms are reversible with correction of hyperglycemia. Diagnosis is possible based on blood reports and neuroimaging findings. J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2022; 40: 65-67

Extracranial Meningioma

Abstract Meningiomas are common benign intracranial tumors. However, intracranial meningiomas with extracranial extension are exceedingly rare lesions with only a few reported cases in the literature. We report a case of an 86 years old female patient presented with enlarging mass over left parietal region for last 3 years. Besides cosmetic, she had no complaints. Head CT scan with bone window showed a large tumor consisting of intracranial and extracranial part, suggestive for meningioma. Patient was operated, and both parts of tumor were removed. Taking into account surgery indication and patient’s age, bone flap was returned. The postoperative course was uneventful and patient fully recovered. In the case of epicranial tumor attached to the underlying bone, meningioma should be excluded.
