Rare Case Report

Hydranencephaly (HE) is a rare condition occurring in <1/10,000 births worldwide. It is one of the recognized forms of brain malformations that are usually associated with intrauterine fetal demise rarely seen in postnatal life. HE can often be misdiagnosed due to certain common features with other neurological abnormalities such as hydrocephalus, holoprosencephaly, and porencephaly. Here, we report the case of a 26-year-old pregnant patient at 34 weeks who was referred with ultrasonography finding of HE which was confirmed by fetal MRI. The decision to deliver the baby was taken expecting an extremely poor outcome after discussing with the family.

Fetus papyraceus is a rare condition of a mummified and compressed fetus occurring in multiple gestations where one fetus dies in utero and is merged between the uterine wall and the membranes of living fetus. The blood vessels of the placenta of the two fetuses anastomose with each other, a third cycle occurs, causing fetal death (fetal transfer syndrome). Ultrasonography may identify the Fetus papyraceus, but is not always promising due to anatomical location. Cautious supervision is important during pregnancy for its positive outcome. We report a case of fetus papyraceus in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.

Crying with bloody tear, called haemolacria is a very rare condition in medical practice. There are many conditions such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, trauma (accidental or induced), factors deficiencies, infections (Epstein Barr virus or bacterial), tumours (malignant melanoma or haemangioma), conjunctival telangiectasia, Rendu-Oslar-Weber disease related to haemolacria. But idiopathic haemolacria may occur in some cases. In our case report, a 17-year-old girl presented with idiopathic bilateral haemolacria and gum bleeding associated with pseudoseizure and psychogenic hyperventilation who was treated and well responded to adequate counselling and Amitriptyline.

Primitive Trigeminal Artery

Introduction. Persistence of fetal cerebral carotid basilar anastomoses is rare. When it occurs, it is often associated with other vascular malformations, and other pathological conditions. Trigeminal primitive artery persistence is the most often among them. Coincidence of primitive trigeminal artery with cerebellar arteriovenous malformation is extremely rare. Case report. We reported a case of a 31-year-old woman with subarachnoid hemorrhage and cerebellar hematoma admitted in serious condition. Angiography demonstrated cerebellar arteriovenous malformation, primitive trigeminal artery and other malformation of Willis circle. After a complete surgical removal of arteriovenous malformation the patient was discharged without neurological or any other deficit. Conclusion. We reported an extremely rare condition, which had been reported very few times in the literature. The importance of primitive artery persistence is in changed anatomical and physiological condition of cerebral circulation, that is especially important in surgical procedures.

A 19-year-old pregnant patient was diagnosed with primary toxoplasmosis infection. The patient was successfully treated with spiramycin and finally delivered normally a healthy boy. Serological tests for detection of anti-toxoplasma antibodies along with ultrasonography findings are the gold standard for the diagnosis. Spiramycin was used for embryo protection.

Actinomyces israelii is a gram-positive anaerobic organism commonly associated with canaliculitis in adults. Actinomyces are normal commensal bacteria in humans and primarily cause opportunistic infections during immunosuppressive state or when loss of continuity of epithelial lining in mucosa occurs. Lacrimal canaliculitis is a relatively rare condition and is undiagnosed for long periods of time. Being a relatively rare condition, it is commonly overlooked and undiagnosed for long periods of time. Primary chronic canaliculitis is an uncommon problem and Actinomycosis may form in up to 2% of all lacrimal disease. Here present study reports a case of lacrimal canaliculitis caused by Actinomyces israelii.

Abstract Intramedullary pyogenic abscess in the conus medullaris in a young child is an extremely rare condition. It had never been reported in literature. It should be differentiated from other more common pathology like tubercular abscess, dermal sinus, epidermoid and dermoid tumour. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical evacuation may lead to good neurological recovery from this rare benign pathology.

Rare Benign Tumor

ABSTRACT Odontogenic fibromyxoma, a myxoma with abundant collagen fibers, is a rare benign tumor of jaw which mostly affects posterior part of mandible. It is ectomesenchymal in origin and probably arises from connective tissue of dental follicle or papilla. Commonly occurs in 2nd or 3rd decade with slight female predilection. Radiological investigations, such as conventional radiography, computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to differentiate it from other odontogenic tumors like ameloblastoma. Management is surgical by enucleation and curettage or by en bloc resection and segmental maxillectomy. Follow-up of patient is must for at least 2 years to diagnose any recurrence. In this article, we present fibromyxoma of maxilla which is a very rare site for occurrence of fibromyxoma and this relatively rare condition has been discussed in light of recent information from literature with a case report.

Rare Case Report

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this report is to introduce a rare case in which an infected keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) was initially diagnosed and treated as a dentoalveolar abscess. Background Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is a benign neoplasm that can be secondarily infected. However, cervical soft tissue abscess formation as a result of an infected odontogenic cyst or tumor is a rare condition few of which have only been described in the existing literature. Also, there has been a single report regarding the coincidence of a traumatic bone cyst and a keratocytic odontogenic tumor to date. Case report The patient was a 29-year-old male, complaining of fever, pain and swelling in the left submandibular region. The panoramic radiography showed a well-defined and partially corticated radiolucency between the roots of the second and third left mandibular molars. In addition, a well-corticated radiolucent lesion was incidentally found on the right side of the mandible, which, following surgical exploration, was diagnosed as a traumatic bone cyst. Conclusion In the present report, an infected KCOT manifested as a cervical abscess, coincided with a traumatic bone cyst. Clinical significance From the clinical point of view, it is of paramount significance to prevent misdiagnosis of similar presentations as pulp and periapical lesions, which may lead to mistreatment and thus complications.
