Abstract Bilateral thalamic infarction is rarely seen in cases with artery of Percheron embolization. Artery of Percheron is a rare variant of arterial supply to both thalamus and midbrain. Occlusion of this artery following trauma and causing bilateral thalamic infarction is rare and very few cases are reported in world literature.

Context: The Artery of Percheron (AOP) is an uncommon anatomic vascular variation derivated from posterior cerebral artery segment P1, wich branchs to irrigate bilaterally the thalamus in it is paramedian portion. Amidst vascular cerebral events of the ischemic type, thalamic infarction occour in 11% of the cases. The typical clinical presentation is constituted by the triad: cogniyivebehavior comitente, oculomotors and consience disturbs. Case report: J.F.M.L, 51 years old, male, was found unconscious in his residence by SAMU and then interned in Stroke Room of HGP in 02/06/2020 with a lowered level of consciousness (Glasgow 8). The tests demonstrated a bilateral thalamic infarct due to Artery of Percheron Ischemia. In 02/09/2020 it evolved into a Glasgow 9 being extubated. The CT after 3 days demonstrated absence of bleeding and prophylatically initiated simvastatin, clexane, physiotherapy and phonoaudiology. In 02/15/2020, during physical exam, the pacient was lucid, presented behavior alterations, had left cervical dystonia and ataxia. The patient progressed well and was discharged the next day. Conclusions: The AOP, when occluded, results in bilateral paramedian thalamic and the rostral midbrain infarctions wich may cause diagnosis issues, mainly because of the vast specter of diferential diagnosis. In the presence of triad signals characteritic of bilateral thalamic infarction in CT, it must suspect the manifestation of such entity.

Galactocele are the most common benign lesion in lactating breast, whereas crystallizing galactocele are the rare variant. Axillary crystallizing galactocele are extremely rare to see , most commonly occur due to wrong breastfeeding technique. FNAC smear shows variety of crystals along with cysteine like crystals in a background of granular amorphous material or lipid micelles.

Chondrosarcoma is a rare variant of bladder tumor and one of the rare types of soft tissue sarcoma. This case happened on a 36-year-old male who complained of lumps in his lower abdomen, accompanied by difficulties in passing urine and painful urination, without hematuria. We performed TURBT and histopathological examination showed low-grade chondrosarcoma. The patient was diagnosed with low-grade bladder chondrosarcoma. The patient was treated for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, after undergoing one cycle of chemotherapy, the patient refused to continue the therapy.

Lichen planus (LP) is a papulosquamous disorder characterized by violaceous, flat topped papules and plaques seen on the volar aspect of the wrists, lumbar region and around the ankles. It can have a varied presentation. Here we describe a rare variant of LP in a female who presented with unilateral eruptions of violaceous papules over the right side of the body.

Radioulnar synostosis is a rare disease which causes supination and pronation restriction as a result of osseous or fibrous connections between the radius and ulna. Radioulnar synostosis includes both congenital and post-traumatic types. Post-traumatic radioulnar synostosis can be seen in the proximal, middle, and distal part of the forearm, depending on the location of the trauma. Congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis occurs as a result of a separation defect between the radius and ulna in the embryonic period. In the presence of congenital proximal radioulnar synostosis, the patient should be evaluated for accompanying syndromes and possible developmental anomalies. In this report, we present a rare case of both proximal and distal radioulnar synostosis. Hypoplasia of the right pectoral muscle mass, hypoplastic appearance of the right nipple, presence of proximal and distal radioulnar synostosis in the right forearm, and accompanying symbrachydactyly suggested Poland syndrome. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of congenital proximal and distal radioulnar synostosis with Poland syndrome.
