Sclerosing meningioma is a rare histological variant of meningioma, first described in the literature by Davidson and Hope in 1989 as an invasive bulking mass consisted of whorling collagen bundles with a minimum percentage of meningothelial resembling cells [1]. The literature showed very rare cases of the intramedullary location of sclerosing meningiomas: in our opinion, it is mandatory to describe its clinical, surgical, histological and immunohistochemical features in order to reach the best final outcome. Sclerosing meningiomas are often misdiagnosed because of their invasive behaviour: it does require a correct diagnosis in order to prevent unnecessary postoperative treatment. Literature reports only 30 cases of sclerosing meningiomas and only 2 of them are intramedullary. We present the case of a cervical intramedullary sclerosing meningioma presenting with gait disturbances, sensory deficits, four extremities weakness and hypereflexia in a patient with the history of meningiomatosis.

Abstract We report a case of gallbladder paraganglioma that was discovered during nonrelated surgery. Retrospective study disclosed a family history of pheochromocytoma. The occurrence of gallbladder paraganglioma in the presence of family history of endocrine neoplasia supports that gallbladder paraganglioma may indeed occur as a part of the multiple endocrine neoplasm syndrome. Gallbladder paraganglioma is a rare tumor, and so far to our knowledge only 6 cases have been reported in the literature. Three cases were discovered incidentally during cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis, 2 presented with right upper quadrant pain, and 1 manifested with gastrointestinal bleeding. We herein review all reported cases of paraganglioma of gallbladder and biliary system.

Esophageal Foreign Bodies

The incidence of esophageal impacted denture is proportionately increasing as there is increasing number of people wearing denture in current days. Impacted denture has to be removed as soon as possible because the delay can lead to complications. The successful removal of impacted denture in the esophagus in a patient is reported, with a review of the literature. A 52-year-old Malay lady complained of dysphagia with no history of foreign body ingestion. Following unsuccessful attempts of removal via a rigid esophagoscope, open surgery was performed. Without further delay, the impacted denture was removed by cervical esophagotomy, and the patient recovered uneventfully. Esophageal foreign bodies are usually removed by endoscopy. However, in situations where this appears potentially hazardous, such as with impacted denture, open surgical extraction that is promptly performed is a safer option.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 03 July’21 Page: 362-365

We present a case of celiac disease (CD) diagnosis in a 75-year-old woman with a long-term history of chronic delusional jealousy and a complex neurological involvement. The case describes a very unusual clinical picture, provides some clinical clues, and highlights the importance of being aware of CD extraintestinal manifestations in order to get a timely diagnosis.

Malignant tumors of the nasal cavity are rare. We report the case of an elderly woman who consulted us with a 4-year history of progressive nasal obstruction, occasional epistaxis, facial pain, and watering of the eyes. A diagnosis of olfactory neuroblastoma was established by histopathology and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. On staging, the mass was classified as a Kadish stage B tumor. The mass was excised via a lateral rhinotomy approach, and the tumor was peeled away completely from the cribriform plate with endoscopes. The patient underwent postoperative radiation, and she was free of recurrence at follow-up 15 months later.

We report a case of prostatic abscess in a 52 year old male with a history of diabetes mellitus. The abscess was treated successfully with surgical drainage by transurethral unroofing of the cavity of the abscess. The use of transrectal ultrasound is valuable in the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of the abscess, while drainage is usually necessary for the treatment, which can be done by transrectal, transperineal and transurethral route.

Inguinal Herniation

Abstract Although inguinal hernias are common, inguinal herniation of the urinary bladder wall is rare. Moreover, the complete migration of the urinary bladder into the scrotum is considered less frequent. The majority of patients with bladder hernias are asymptomatic and diagnosis is made intraoperatively; however, difficulties in urination may lead to the correct diagnosis. We report about a case of a large right-sided scrotal hernia with complete bladder herniation presenting without urological symptoms.
