Spinal Lipoma

Intradural spinal lipomas are rare, and their origin is unknown. Although the clinical presentation may not be distinctive, patients usually present with neurological deficits secondary to mass effect. Total excision may not be possible all time, although subtotal resection is easily done by microsurgery. We report a case of intradural spinal lipoma of the conus medullaries. Total excision was done under microscope and histopathology proved lipoma. Bang. J Neurosurgery 2019; 8(2): 112-114

Vascular Hamartoma

HVH (hepatic vascular hamartoma) is a tumor like malformation arising from the vascular tissue of the liver. HVH has been previously reported in animals and presents distintive features from the most frequent benign tumor like malformation of the liver, the hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma (HMH). Herein we report a case of HVH localized in hepatic segment 4b, involving the gastro hepatic ligament, successfully treated with total excision. We describe the anatomo-pathologic findings focusing on the clinical and radiological presentation, the intraoperative characteristics and the differential diagnosis.

Intramedullary spinal cord tumors are rare and comprise less than one percentage of all central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms. When encountered, most are found in the lumbosacral region with coinciding spinal dysraphism. Here, we discuss a case of isolated non-dysraphic intramedullary lipoma of cervicothoracic spine in an adolescent who was surgically managed with posterior decompression and subtotal resection via laminoplasty. A 21-year-old male adolescent, without a history of spinal dysraphism, presented with a progressive sensory ataxia. This manifestation was attributed to magnetic resonance documented intramedullary lipoma, extending from C7 to T2 spinal level. Patient underwent subtotal surgical resection of the lesion; and histopathology report was confirmed as spinal lipoma. Surgical management of this rare pathology has a wide variety of options depending on clinical presentation. In our case, a subtotal resection and laminoplasty was achieved with no further worsening of neurologic symptoms.

Although intracranial tuberculomas are not rare & account for a significant number of ICSOLs; Its clinical presentation &neuro-radiological findings sometimes lead us to a diagnostic dilemma and management challenge. Here, in this case series we are presenting diagnostic as well as management challenges we’ve faced managing patients with tuberculoma at a tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh. Intracranial tuberculomas can be situated in various locations and can mimic any lesion.Extracranial involvement is not always common, clinical presentation &neuroradiological findings sometimes not conclusive. Medical management indicated in almost all cases, as well as surgical intervention indicated in cases with neurological deficits & mass effect. Bang. J Neurosurgery 2019; 9(1): 64-68

The almost asymptomatic “mirror-image” bilateral giant intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms are not common and its successful conservative management without further neurological complications is rarely reported. We report a case of a 64-year-old woman, admitted with a rapidly progressive headache, with no other signs or symptoms associated. The Head CT-Scan shows bilateral parasellar round hyperdense lesions and the Magnetic resonance angiography discloses bilateral giant intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms in detail. The clinical presentation of these types of lesions depends on their mass effect on the surrounding neurovascular structures. So, possibly no mass effect on any structure, then no obvious expected symptoms. A patient with these conditions and without neurological deficit should not be rushed to surgery or endovascular treatment.

: Infective Endocarditis (IE), a known complication of hemodialysis (HD), has recently been categorized as Healthcare-Associated Infective Endocarditis (HAIE). Single pathogen bacteremia is common, polymicrobial endocardial infection is rare in this cohort of the patients. We report a case of endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a first ever reported combination of a usual and an unusual organism, respectively, in a patient on HD. Clinical presentation of the patient, its complicated course ,medical and surgical management ,along with microbial and echocardiographic findings is presented herein. The authors believe that presentation of this case of HAIE may benefit and contribute positively to cardiac science owing to the rare encounter of this organism as a pathogen in infective endocarditis and the difficulties in treating it.

Large Animals

Oesophageal disorders are relatively uncommon in large animals. Oesophageal obstruction is the most frequently encountered clinical presentation in bovine and it may be intraluminal or extra luminal (Haven, 1990). Intraluminal obstruction or “choke” is the most common abnormality that usually occurs when foreign objects, large feedstuff, medicated boluses, trichobezoars, or oesophageal granuloma lodge in the lumen of the oesophagus. Oesophageal obstructions in bovine commonly occur at the pharynx, the cranial aspect of the cervical oesophagus, the thoracic inlet, or the base of the heart (Choudhary et al., 2010). Diagnosis of such problem depends on the history of eating particular foodstuff and clinical signs as bloat, tenesmus, retching, and salivation

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, a rare condition of unknown etiology, was first described by Kitamura et al. from Japan in 1960. It is characterized by a triad consisting of well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian male, who had asymptomatic symmetrical facial lesions since the age of 42. His family history was unremarkable. Published erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli cases of the last 10 years are summarized in this report to demonstrate the variability and differences in the clinical presentation of this uncommon diagnosis.

The Ideal

Partial physeal bars may develop after injury to the growth plate in children, eventually leading to disturbance of normal growth. Clinical presentation, age of the patient, and the anticipated growth will dictate the best treatment strategy. The ideal treatment for a partial physeal bar is complete excision to allow growth resumption by the remaining healthy physis. There are countless surgical options, some technically challenging, that must be weighted according to each case’s particularities. We reviewed the current literature on physeal bars while reporting the challenging case of a short stature child submitted to a femoral physeal bar endoscopic-assisted resection with successful growth resumption. This case dares surgeons to consider all options when treating limb length discrepancy, such as the endoscopic-assisted resection which might offer successful results.
