Childhood Lymphoma

Primary dural lymphoma is a rare pathology, it is part of the malignant lymphoma of the central nervous system and it can reach the extradural or subdural space. We report a case of a little boy of three years and two months admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery CHU JRA for multiple swellings in the scalp associated with an altered general condition. The CT scan revealed a multiple extra-axial expansive process with retro-orbital extension responsible for an important exophthalmos as well as at the scalp level. Anatomopathological examination of the dura mater biopsy revealed a malignant non-Hodgkin's small cell lymphoma. The patient underwent chemotherapy of 05 sessions and the evolution was marked by the persistence of the symptoms. The post chemotherapy brain scan showed considerable extension of the lesions. The next step would be radiotherapy.

The Central Nervous System

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is an immune-mediated inflammatory and demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system, commonly preceded by an infection. It principally involves the white matter tracts of the cerebral hemispheres, brainstem, optic nerves, and spinal cord. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis mainly affects children. Clinically, patients present with multifocal neurologic abnormalities reflecting the widespread involvement in central nervous system. Cerebrospinal fluid may be normal or may show a mild pleocytosis with or without elevated protein levels. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) shows multiple demyelinating lesions. The diagnosis of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis requires both multifocal involvement and encephalopathy by consensus criteria. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis typically has a monophasic course with a favorable prognosis. Multiphasic forms have been reported, resulting in diagnostic difficulties in distinguishing these cases from multiple sclerosis. In addition, many inflammatory disorders may have a similar presentation with frequent occurrence of encephalopathy and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.

Large Cell Lymphoma

We present a case of a 64-year-old man who was diagnosed with a primary anaplastic large cell lymphoma of the central nervous system (PCNSAL). He had received radical chemotherapy and radiotherapy for a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the past. There is no known association between NSCLC and PCNSAL. We describe the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with these rare intracranial lymphomas and highlight the potential role of newer biological agents in patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK-1) positive PCNSAL.
