Thoracic spinal psammomatous meningioma is a rare subtype of meningioma. Amongdiverse types of mesenchymal differentiation, osseous metaplasia is found to be stillrarer. We are presenting a new case of thoracic psammomatous spinal meningiomawith osseous metaplasia in a middle aged female which that gives a sense of cancellousbone in the spinal canal. To conclude, meningiomas with osseous metaplasia are veryrare tumors that complicate the surgical removal in certain cases. Ossification, ifpredicted prior to operation with computed tomography reconstruction, makes planningof removal easier. In our case, maintained cerebrospinal fluid spaces despite firmconsistency of tumor made its removal easier once cerebrospinal fluid was drained.We have submitted this article because it is very rare and curable pathology andpreoperative diagnosis helps in prevention of neurological injury during its excision Bang.

Salmonella meningitis is a disease with high mortality in infants though incidence is rare. This article reports a case of Salmonella meningitis in a two months male infant, who presented with high fever, convulsion and difficulty in breathing. Salmonella typhi was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), that showed resistance to Cephalosporins, Fluroquinoles, Macrolides and Aminoglycosides but susceptiblity to Chloramphenicol and Cotrimaxozole. This case was admitted on fourth day of onset of illness and treated with parenteral Vancomycin and Ceftriaxone to cover both gram positive and negative bacterial agents of bacterial meningitis in a young infant, but succumbed to death on ninth day of illness. This indicated importance of S. typhi as a possible bacterial etiology and a great concern on resistance to the normally chosen antibiotics. An early suspicion can be suggested to reduce the risk of mortality. Environmental hygiene and household cleanliness practices also warrants attention, which were identified as possible risks for enteric infection in spite the baby was absolutely breast fed.

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.

<p class="abstract">In this case report a bony swelling was noticed clinically which had a cystic presentation in CT imaging. After surgical removal it was sent for histopathological examination and was diagnosed as dermoid cyst. Dermoid cyst is rarely encountered lesions of head and neck region so most frequently misdiagnosed. Though this lesion is very rare but should be considered as a differential diagnosis while evaluation cystic lesions of head and neck region.</p>

<p class="abstract">Angiosarcomas are the malignant neoplasias of vascular phenotype whose constituent tumor cells have endothelial features. They account for less than 1% of all sinonasal tract malignancies. A case of 65 year old male with a 6 months history of spontaneous epistaxis and a nasal mass lesion presented to the OPD. On physical examination, a polypoidal purplish tumor of 6 × 5 cm was identified. A NCCT scan of nose and paranasal sinuses showed a nonenhanced tumor in the left nostril in maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid and frontal sinus. An excisional biopsy revealed a poorly differentiated angiosarcoma. Surgical removal of the lesion was advised which was refused by the patient.</p><p class="abstract">Patient was put on the radiation therapy. Angiosarcoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses is an extremely rare tumor. Recurrences are common due to incomplete excision or mutiflocality.</p>
