Abstract Background Although intracranial traumas by penetrating foreign objects are not absolute rarities, the nature of trauma, the kind of object, and its trajectory make them a one of a kind case every time they occur. Whereas high-velocity traumas mostly result in fatalities, it is the low-velocity traumas that demand an individualized surgical strategy. Methods We present a case report of a 33-year-old patient who was admitted to our department with a self-inflicted transorbital pen injury to the brain. The authors recall the incident and the technique of the pen removal. Results Large surgical exposure of the pen trajectory was considered too traumatic. Therefore, we opted to remove the pen and have an immediate postoperative computed tomography (CT) scan. Due to its fragility, the pen case could only be removed with a screwdriver, inserted into the case. Post-op CT scan showed a small bleeding in the right peduncular region, which was treated conservatively. The patient was transferred back to intensive care unit and woken up the next day. She lost visual function on her right eye, but suffered from no further neurologic deficit. Conclusion Surgical management of removal of intracranial foreign bodies is no routine procedure. Although some would favor a large surgical exposure, we could not think of an approach to do so without maximum surgical efforts. We opted for a minimal surgical procedure with immediate CT scan and achieved an optimal result. We find this case to be worth considering when deciding on a strategy in the future.

Patient M., 23 years old, consulted a dermatologist with complaints of rashes on the face, which had bothered since childhood. On objective examination, skin lesions were widespread. A visual examination revealed spots of hypopigmentation, angiofibromas of the face, shagreen fate of the skin, periungual fibromas. She was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis. Further examination revealed a neoplasm in the brain and right kidney, damage to the lungs, tubular bones, lymphadenopathy. The patient continues to be monitored by a neurologist and therapist. Based on the results of CT scan of the chest organs, an oncologist's consultation was scheduled to conduct an oncology search. Thus, with skin manifestations characteristic of this disease, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive examination to identify concomitant pathology and early diagnosis of complications.

Primary Retroperitoneal

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystic neoplasms are very rare, especially in men. To our knowledge, only 13 cases of such neoplasms have been reported in men to date. The most common type is the primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma, which almost invariably affects females. Most patients present with non-specific symptoms. In this case report, we will describe a case of a 53 year old male patient who presented with raised CEA tumour marker and vague right sided abdominal discomfort. A computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, which revealed a 4.9 × 4.7 × 7.5 cm lobulated retroperitoneal cystic lesion abutting the posterior wall of the mid ascending colon. A laparoscopic excision was eventually performed with complete removal of the retroperitoneal cystic lesion. Subsequent histological assessment confirmed the diagnosis of a primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma with borderline malignancy. On comparison with a prior CT scan performed about seven and a half years earlier, we managed to derive a doubling rate of about 626 days, which is the first reported case in English literature to document the growth rate of such a tumour. The patient has since been discharged well, with no evidence of tumour recurrence on an interval CT scan.

Pulmonary blastomas are a rare aggressive neoplasm comprising 0.25-0.5% of all primary lung tumours. Morphologically they mimic foetal lung tissue before 4 months gestation. Study reports a case of 23-year-old male patient who came with heaviness in chest and breathing difficulty since one and a half months. On CT scan of chest, findings are suggestive of anterior mediastinal mass extending till right hila with cardiac displacement and compression. Histopathology confirmed the presence of pulmonary blastoma.

Abstract. We reported the case of a 36-year-old Balinese man who disseminated cysticercosis, presented neuro-, subcutaneous- and oral-cysticercosis. Diagnosis of it was based on anamnesis, clinical examination including CT Scan, histopathological and serological examinations. The patient visited outpatient clinic of Sanglah Denpasar Hospital in Bali, in June 2003 with two subcutaneous nodules in the body. Serological examinations (ELISA and immnunoblot) used both purified glycoproteins and chimeric recombinant antigen were positive. The two subcutaneous nodules disappeared after treatment with albendazole. In January 2004, the patient presented neuro-, and oral-cysticercosis. CT Scan showed multiple active lesions in the brain. During the treatment with 800 mg albendazole daily during for one month. The side effects of it such as nausea and vomit were found in that patient. Antibody responses in ELISA and immnunoblot were still positive and follow up CT scan in May 2004, it showed that very similar figures as previously. Repeated treatment with 400mg albendazole daily for one and half month was applied. Antibody responses became low, and CT scan in March 2006 did not show any active cysts but only calcified lesions.

Background. Traumatic delayed epidural hematoma (DEH) can be defined as insignificant or not seen on the initial CT scan performed after a trauma but seen on the subsequent CT scan as a ?massive? epidural bleeding. Case report. We presented two cases of traumatic DEH after mild head injury. Both patients were conscious and without neurological deficit on the admission. Initial CT scan did not reveal intracranial hematoma. Repeated CT scan, that was performed after neurological deterioration, revealed epidural hematoma in both cases. The patients were operated with a favorable surgical outcome. Conclusion. Traumatic DEH could occur in the patients with head injuries who were conscious on the admission with a normal initial CT scan finding. Early detection of DEH and an urgent surgical evacuation were essential for a good outcome.

We present a case report of a 13-year-old male patient who presented with acute testicular pain and testicular swelling. An urgent ultrasound scan demonstrated a large, irregular, poorly circumscribed, hypervascular right testicular mass. A staging CT scan revealed no distant metastases and an orchidectomy demonstrated a pure embryonal carcinoma of the right testis with lymphovascular invasion.

Skull Deformation

AbstractEpidural hematoma (EDH) is a traumatic accumulation of blood between the inner table of the skull and the dural membrane. Contact-related skull deformation causes inbending or fracturing of cranium or both, leading to separation of the dura mater from inner table. This injures the dural arteries, veins, venous sinus, or diploid channels, producing EDH. They usually occur as a result of direct impact injuries to the head, ipsilateral to impact side. Incidence of epidural hematoma is 1 to 3% of all head injuries. Contrecoup EDH cases are rare. and because of its rarity, we present a case report of a 17-year-old boy with contrecoup EDH who sustained head injury due to road traffic accident. Computed tomography of the brain showed left occipital bone fracture and large contrecoup extradural hematoma in right frontal region associated with pneumocephalus and hemorrhagic contusional edema beneath it. The EDH was operated on, and the patient was discharged uneventfully.

: Tuberculous meningoencephalitis (TBM) is the most severe, life-threatening form of tuberculosis that contributes to as much as 5% of cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Emerging at the end of 2019, COVID-19 has been shown to affect various organs, including the brain. In this case report, a 21-year-old woman diagnosed with TBM, being in the intensive phase of tuberculous therapy, came with dysphagia and dysphonia as new complaints felt one day before admission accompanied by a positive meningeal sign, diplopia, and cephalgia, which became heavier after previously getting better. Cough and fever followed this complaint two days before admission. About the laboratory results, the PCR was positive for COVID-19, and CT scans showed increased leptomeningeal enhancement when compared with CT scan one month earlier. The patient received intravenous dexamethasone, anti-tuberculosis drugs, phenytoin, aspirin, oseltamivir, and hydroxychloroquine. The patient died four days after being hospitalized due to respiratory failure. This case report shows the coinfection of COVID-19 and TBM resulting in a poor tuberculosis treatment response and outcome.
