Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system worldwide. However , cysticercosis affecting the spine is considered extremely rare. We report one case of spinal cysticercosis with review of literature.

Reversible Splenial Lesion Syndrome

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may affect the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Major central nervous system manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection include seizures, meningoencephalitis, ischemic stroke, anosmia, and hypogeusia. The reversible splenial lesion syndrome was first described in 2004. Although reversible splenial lesion syndrome was initially recognized as a benign phenomenon, a second type of reversible splenial lesion syndrome was identified in later years, which has a poorer prognosis and potentially serious sequela. Reversible splenial lesion syndrome can be caused by numerous etiologies including viruses. In this report, we present a rare case of COVID-19 with reversible splenial lesion, who presented with ataxia and dizziness.

The Central Nervous System

Cysticercosis is an infection with the larval form of the Taenia solium that commonly involves the central nervous system. Isolated muscular involvement is rare with only a handful of cases reported in the literature. We present a case of isolated cysticercosis of the extensor muscles of the forearm that presented a diagnostic challenge. High resolution ultrasound of the forearm helped in the diagnosis and the patient was managed successfully on anti-helminths and anti-inflammatory medications.

Spinal Meningiomas

Background: Meningioma is one of the most common neoplasms of the central nervous system. Multiple meningiomas without neurofibromatosis are not a usual occurrence. Intraventricular meningioma with spinal meningioma is rare and not been reported in the literature. Case Description: We report a case of a 63-year-old male with the left trigonal and spinal meningioma. Both the meningiomas were resected in different settings. The histological examination of tumors revealed to be of varied histology, that is, meningothelial and atypical meningioma, respectively. Conclusion: Although various cases with multiple cranial and spinal meningiomas are described, this is the first case of an intraventricular and spinal meningioma. With varied histology, the case also reaffirms the theory of polyclonal origin of multiple meningiomas.

Abstract Actinomycosis infection is a slow progressing disease, in which involvment of the central nervous system by Actinomyces israelii is uncommon (less than 5%). Clinical picture is non-specific and is often misdiagnosed with neoplasia; some clinical clues my arise suspicion. The case of a 59 year-old female is reported who presented headache and focal neurologic signs and in whom a out-of the hospital diagnosis of a neuroepitelial dysembryoplastic tumor was made; nonetheless after careful interview and physical exploration, a spectroscopy magnetic resonance of the brain and hystopathological description of the lesion was made and yielded the definitive diagnosis of intracranial actinomyces infection. Treatment and progression were uneventful.
