The Common

Meningiomas are one of the common brain tumours which have origin for arachnoid cap cells. Extradural meningiomas are rarer variants classified into primary and secondary in nature based on their source of origin. The common location of primary extradural meningiomas is head and neck with paranasal sinuses being a common site in head and neck. The treatment of choice lies with complete excision of tumour which usually follows a good prognosis and low rates of recurrences. Current literature is scarce about primary extradural meningiomas with majority being case reports or short case series only. We here present a case report of a primary extradural meningioma of right frontal and ethmoidal sinus treated by surgical excision. This case report adds on to the current knowledge of literature about primary extradural meningiomas. Summary A 28 year old male presented with chief complaints of right eye proptosis and right frontal headache with no neurological deficit reported to our centre with a trans nasal biopsy report of his lesion done elsewhere to be psamomatous meningioma Grade I. On reviewing his MRI Brain and paranasal sinuses, a totally extradural space occupying lesion in right frontal and ethmoidal sinuses communicating into intracranial cavity pushing right frontal lobe up and extending into roof of right orbit was found. Patient underwent right frontal craniotomy with complete excision of tumour with subsidence of proptosis in immediate post operative period. Primary extradural meningiomas are rare entities with scarce literature available. We write this case report to add on to current literature available and also briefly discuss the literature review known currently.

Rare Case Report

Lymphangioma is a common pediatric problem. Most of the lymphangiomas occur in head and neck region. Lymphangioma arising from omentum is extremely rare. It is a benign condition butis locally invasive. Symptoms usually arise from its mass effect or complications. Complete excision including removal of all loculi is necessary for cure. We report such a case of omental lymphangiomain a six-year boy.

ABSTRACTRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a tumor of skeletal muscle origin, is the most common soft tissue sarcoma encountered in childhood and adolescence. The common sites of occurrence are the head and neck region, genitourinary tract, retroperitonium, and, to a lesser extent, the extremities. In the head and neck region, the most commonly affected sites are the orbit, paranasal sinuses, soft tissues of the cheek, and the neck. RMS is relatively uncommon in the oral cavity, and the involvement of the jaws is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of oral RMS in a 13-year-old child and describe the clinical, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings. (Eur J Dent 2011;5:340-343)

High Index Of Suspicion

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in children may be classified as physiologic or pathologic, depending on its degree and consequences. There are many head and neck complications of GER in pediatric patients, but most numerous are the airway manifestations, including stridor, recurrent croup, exacerbation of subglottic stenosis, laryngeal irritation with or without laryngospasm, chronic cough, and obstructive apnea. Diagnosis may be difficult unless there is a high index of suspicion for GER and awareness of the concept of “silent” GER. We present the common pediatric airway manifestations of GER, illustrated by case reports, and provide a paradigm to assist in the diagnosis and management of children with airway compromise associated with GER.

Rare Diagnosis

Schwannomas/ neurilemmomas are benign tumors of nerve sheath arising from Schwann cells that form myelin sheath around peripheral nerves. They are usually solitary, slow growing and encapsulated lesions. Head and neck are the common sites. We report a case of a 38 years old Nepalese female who had presented with a solitary asymptomatic, slow growing nodule on the left side of the chin for the last three years. Dermoscopy of the lesion revealed arborizing vessels with brownish pigmentation overlying a whitish to pinkish background. Complete excision of the lesion was performed. Histopathological evaluation of the lesion revealed schwannoma. Though schwannomas are a rare diagnosis, they should be considered as a differential diagnosis of any unilateral, asymptomatic, slow growing nodule in the head and neck region. Dermoscopy is a useful tool which helps to differentiate schwannoma from other lesions. Histopathology is the gold standard for diagnosis and the treatment of choice is surgical excision.

Recurrent Painful Ophthalmoplegic Neuropathy

Background Recurrent painful ophthalmoplegic neuropathy (RPON) is an uncommon disorder characterized by recurrent unilateral headache attacks associated with ipsilateral ophthalmoplegia. We intend to study the clinical picture in our case series along with the published literature to discuss the pathogenesis and propose modified diagnostic criteria for recurrent painful ophthalmoplegic neuropathy. Methods We reported five cases diagnosed as ophthalmoplegic migraine/RPON in our medical centers and reviewed the published literature related to RPON from the Pubmed database between 2000 and 2020. In one of these cases, a multiplanar reformation was performed to look at the aberrant cranial nerve. Results The mean onset age for RPON was 22.1 years, and the oculomotor nerve was the most commonly involved cranial nerve (53.9%) in 165 reviewed patients. In most patients, ophthalmoplegia started within 1 week of the headache attack (95.7%, 67/70). Additionally, 27.6% (40/145) of patients presented enhancement of the involved nerve(s) from MRI tests. Finally, 78 patients received corticosteroids, out of which 96.2% benefited from them. Conclusion This is the first time multiplanar reformation has been performed to reveal the distortion of the oculomotor nerve. Modified diagnostic criteria are proposed. We hope to expand the current knowledge and increase the detection of recurrent painful ophthalmoplegic neuropathy in the future.

Solitary fibrous tumors of the spine are rare lesions. Their description in the literature is limited to case reports and small case series. While generally benign lesions, they can recur and occasionally occur as malignancies. Here the authors present the case of a 10-year-old boy, the youngest patient and first preadolescent reported thus far, with this condition. In addition, they perform a comprehensive review of all previously published cases of spinal solitary fibrous tumors.

Background Hypnic headache (HH) is a rare primary headache disorder that is characterised by strictly sleep-related headache attacks. Purpose Because of the low prevalence of this headache disorder, disease information is mainly based on case reports and small case series. This review summarises current knowledge on HH in regard to clinical presentation, pathophysiology, symptomatic causes and therapeutic options. Method We review all reported HH cases since its first description in 1988 by Raskin. Broadened diagnostic criteria were applied for patient selection that slightly deviate from the current ICHD-II criteria. Patients were allowed to describe the headache character to be other than dull. Additionally, accompanying mild trigemino-autonomic symptoms were permitted. Conclusions Mainly elderly patients are affected, but younger patients and even children might also suffer from HH. Headache attacks usually last between 15 and 180 minutes, but some patients report headache attacks up to 10 hours. Almost all patients report motor activity during headache attacks. Cerebral MRI and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring should be performed in the diagnostic work-up of HH. Other primary headache disorders such as migraine and cluster headache may also present with sleep-related headache attacks and should be considered first. Caffeine taken as a cup of strong coffee seems to be the best acute and prophylactic treatment option.

Objective: To provide an initial overview of the outcomes of different treatment modalities used for hemangiomas. Methods: Design:           Case Series Setting:           Tertiary National University Hospital Participants: Records of 21 patients diagnosed with head and neck hemangiomas in the Philippine General Hospital Department of Otorhinolaryngology from 2009 to 2014 were reviewed. Results: Majority of the patients were female (61.9%) and in the pediatric age group (57.1%). Of the 21 patients, 6 underwent medical management, 13 had surgical management, 1 had both medical and surgical management, and 1 opted to observe the lesion. All patients treated with propranolol observed a decrease in the size of the lesion. Seven out of the 13 patients had radiofrequency ablation; all had gross residual lesion. Six of the 13 underwent excision, with complete excision being achieved in 5 of 6 cases. Conclusion: Treatment response of patients in this series with hemangiomas of the head and neck to propranolol at a dose of 1 to 2 mg/kg/day may reflect international data. Outcomes analysis for radiofrequency ablation and surgical excision requires a longer duration of follow-up.   Keywords: propranolol hydrochloride, prednisone, pulsed radiofrequency treatment, capillary hemangioma, vascular tissue neoplasms
