The Third

Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) of thoracic spine occurs along with a progressive spine lesion, and is a rare myelopathy in non-Oriental patients. Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance imaging of spine are used for diagnosis, and early decompressive laminectomy is the treatment of choice. We report a case of female patient, 73-year-old, who presented progressive and symmetrical paraparesis, and painful tactile hypoesthesia at T4 level with two months of evolution of the case. After OLF diagnosis, with myelopathy on T1-T2 segment, we performed spine decompression with significant functional better results. According to our research and knowledge, this is the third case to be reported on Brazilian medical literature of a patient with non-Oriental descent.

Tarsometatarsal Joint

Background Fibrocartilaginous coalition of the third tarsometatarsal joint has been indicated as an extremely rare form of tarsal coalition in the radiological literature, and most articles concerned with tarsal coalition do not mention involvement of this joint. Only two reports written in the English language that approach this subject were found, an orthopedic report and an anthropological report. Purpose To evaluate the prevalence of this finding and discuss and illustrate the radiological characteristics of this coalition. Material and Methods A retrospective analysis of 614 computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans of the ankle and/or foot, acquired at a health service within a period of three months, was performed to assess the prevalence of this coalition. Results Of the examinations characterized as valid for analysis for the purposes of the study, 17 cases compatible with fibrocartilaginous coalition of the third tarsometatarsal joint were found, thus indicating an involvement of approximately 2.97% of the examined feet. Conclusion Our radiological findings are typical, and the prevalence found in this study was statistically significant, being similar to that described in the anthropological report (3.2%–6.8%).

We present a case of solitary vascular tumor on posterior cranial fossa in a 15-year-old female who had a complaint of headache on/off for six months with associated dizziness, nausea, vomiting and vertigo. Well circumscribed solid vascular mass was localized on posterior fossa by computed tomography along with magnetic resonance imaging scan. Furthermore, the diagnosis was confirmed by surgical findings and histological examinations.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience, Vol. 14, No. 2,  2017 Page: 47-50
