Background: Intracranial chondromas are rare tumors arising from the skull base. They are usually accompanied by functional impairments of some cranial nerves. However, hypoglossal nerve dysfunction is rare. Case Description: We report on a 57-year-old woman presenting with chondroma of the right hypoglossal canal leading to right hypoglossal nerve palsy. Conclusions: This report suggests that chondroma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in cases of hypoglossal lesions.

Abstract:Objective:To describe a patient who presented with a hypoglossal nerve palsy caused by a cavernous malformation, review the literature on cavernous malformations associated with cranial nerves and the differential diagnosis of hypoglossal palsy.Results:Partial resection of the lesion was achieved and the diagnosis of cavernous malformation proven histologically.Conclusions:Involvement of a cranial nerve by a cavernous malformation is very uncommon and the facial nerve is the example most frequently reported. This case report adds another possible site for this rare occurrence.

AbstractBackground:A pneumocele occurs when an aerated cranial cavity pathologically expands; a pneumatocele occurs when air extends from an aerated cavity into adjacent soft tissues forming a secondary cavity. Both pathologies are extremely rare with relation to the mastoid. This paper describes a case of a mastoid pneumocele that caused hypoglossal nerve palsy and an intracranial pneumatocele.Case report:A 46-year-old man presented, following minor head trauma, with hypoglossal nerve palsy secondary to a fracture through the hypoglossal canal. The fracture occurred as a result of a diffuse temporal bone pneumocele involving bone on both sides of the hypoglossal canal. Further slow expansion of the mastoid pneumocele led to a secondary middle fossa pneumatocele. The patient refused treatment and so has been managed conservatively for more than five years, and he remains well.Conclusion:While most patients with otogenic pneumatoceles have presented acutely in extremis secondary to tension pneumocephalus, our patient has remained largely asymptomatic. Aetiology, clinical features and management options of temporal bone pneumoceles and otogenic pneumatoceles are reviewed.

Objective: Carotid body tumour is a rare tumour. This is a case report of carotid body tumour of the right side involving the right hypoglossal nerve with MRI appearance and pathological features. The objective is to present a case of Hypoglossal nerve palsy due to carotid body tumour involving the right carotid artery bifurcation. Method: A 18-year old male presented with a welldefined swelling of his right neck, increasing hoarseness, and left ward tongue deviation on protrusion present for two years CT neck and MRI were done. The tumour was identified and the patient underwent surgery. His Histopathology report commented it to be carotid body tumour. Result: The patient showed significant improvement after surgery. His tongue deviation improved and his hoarseness of voice had been begun to improve. Conclusion: Carotid body tumours are benign lesion mimicking other pathology. High level of suspicision, imaging and careful resection is important for avoiding complications. Bangladesh Heart Journal 2019; 34(1) : 68-72

Case of isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy is an extremely rare condition. There are several causes that can be attributed to it. We present a case where a patient presented herself with swelling on the right side of her cheek extending to the floor of the mouth, with unilateral right hypoglossal nerve palsy. Removal of the impacted tooth resulted in the improvement of function of the hypoglossal nerve. The transient isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy could have been due to the infected impacted tooth. Therefore, the dentist or doctors coming across with isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy should consider the infected impacted tooth as the differential diagnosis.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Neurinomas of the hypoglossal nerve are very rare. They are mostly located intracranially or combined intra- and extracranially, resulting in the so-called dumbbell shape. The isolated extracranial localization of the neurinoma of the hypoglossal nerve adjacent to the cranial base as described in this case report is extremely rare. CLINICAL PRESENTATION The 23-year-old patient presented with recurring headaches. She had right-sided hypoglossal nerve palsy for approximately 5 to 6 years. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an extracranial tumor with contact to the cranial base originating from the hypoglossal nerve. INTERVENTION The tumor was extirpated surgically and verified histologically as a schwannoma of the hypoglossal nerve. CONCLUSION Pathologies of the hypoglossal nerve as such are very rare within the clinical landscape. When a tumor occurs, its shape and location must be analyzed to establish whether, or by which approach, surgical removal is feasible. Although very unusual, the mere extracranial occurrence of a hypoglossal neurinoma at the cranial base should be considered a differential diagnosis.

Background. Abernethy malformation is a rare splanchnic vascular abnormality characterizing extrahepatic abnormal shunts that is classified into types I and II. Abernethy malformation type I has a female predilection and is associated with a variety of concurrent hepatic benign or malignant tumours while type II with concurrent tumours is very rare in females. Case Report. We report a rare female case of Abernethy malformation type II with concurrent occupying lesion in the right liver, which was successfully transplanted; the occupying lesion was pathologically proven to be nodular hyperplasia. Conclusion. This case might provide further knowledge regarding Abernethy malformation. On imaging, the anatomy of portal vein should be carefully investigated to categorize Abernethy malformation, and a wide variety of differential diagnosis of concurrent occupying lesions should be taken into account.

Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) is a rare progressive genetically heterogenous disorder with pediatric onset. DRD is 3 times as prevalent in women than in men. This article reports a clinical case of DRD in a young female presenting with paraparesis, foot dystonia (more pronounced in the right foot) and pronounced walking impairment, who was admitted for emergency treatment to a Neurology Unit. Based on the additional tests, which included a levodopa trial and Sanger sequencing, the patient was diagnosed with DRD. Levodopa caused a considerable improvement of the symptoms. The article describes the clinical features of the disease, talks about its differential diagnosis, genetic predisposition and treatment strategy.

Central Nervous System (CNS) involvement in multiple myeloma and/or multifocal solitary plasmacytoma is rare. Although they are unique entities, multiple myeloma (MM) and plasmacytoma represent a spectrum of plasma cell neoplastic diseases that can sometimes occur concurrently. Plasmacytomas very often present as late-stage sequelae of MM. In this case report, we report a 53-year-old female presenting with right abducens cranial nerve (CN) VI palsy as an initial presentation secondary to lesion of the right clivus.
