ABSTRACT Arachnoid cysts constitute 1% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions. These typically produce vague and nonspecific symptoms. However, a subset of these lesions can produce constellation of signs and symptoms indistinguishable from those causing peripheral vertigo. We discuss the presentation of a giant arachnoid cyst which presented with dizziness and mimicked benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood (BPVC).

Giant dorsolumbar spinal arachnoid cysts are a complex, poorly understood, and difficult to manage clinical entity. Traditional CT myelography is technically difficult to use in these cases to detect the site of leakage preoperatively. The authors report a novel technique for detecting the site of the leak by using sequential, dynamic intraoperative MR myelography. To the authors’ knowledge, there is no other similar report in the literature.

Compressive Myelopathy

ABSTRACTSpinal arachnoid cysts are uncommon benign lesions of spine axis and most commonly present as compressive myelopathy. Intramedullary arachnoid cyst is uncommonly seen, hence, not much discussed in literature. Due to rarity of this entity, many questions are yet to be answered and should be addressed properly, particularly related to etiopathogenesis, accustomed course, behavior, differential diagnosis, and the best treatment modality. We report the clinicopathological profile of thoracic intramedullary arachnoid cysts in two adult patients, and present a detailed review of available literature on the spinal intramedullary arachnoid cyst. Most of the literature concerning with intramedullary arachnoid cysts are in the form of case reports from pediatrics population. As far to the best of our knowledge, only a few cases excluding our two were found in both pediatrics and adult population.

Coronavirus disease 2019 has presented itself with a variety of clinical signs and symptoms. One of these has been the accordance of spontaneous pneumothorax which in instances has caused rapid deterioration of patients. Furthermore pneumothorax may happen secondary to intubation and the resulting complications. Not enough is discussed regarding cases with COVID-19 related pneumothorax and proper management of these patients. The present article reports an elderly patient with spontaneous pneumothorax secondary to COVID-19 and reviews the existing literature.

Endoscopic Fenestration

Intracranial arachnoid cysts are a rare condition thought to be congenital in nature. Treatment of intracranial arachnoid cysts remains controversial based on their variable presentation. Treatment options include CSF shunting, endoscopic fenestration, or craniotomy and open fenestration for larger cysts. The complications of these procedures can include hydrocephalus, subdural hematomas, hygromas, and—more rarely—intraparenchymal hemorrhage. The authors found very few reports of hemorrhagic infarction as a complication of arachnoid cyst fenestration in the literature. The authors report a case of an 18-year-old female patient who suffered an ipsilateral hemorrhagic infarction after craniotomy for open fenestration of an arachnoid cyst.

Von Willebrand

ABSTRACT von Willebrand disease (vWD) is the most common type of autosomally inherited bleeding disorder affecting up to 1% of the world's population. The disease represents a range of quantitative and qualitative pathologies of the adhesive glycoprotein, von Willebrand factor (vWF). Since symptoms are often mild, a significant majority of patients remain undiagnosed. In the hemostasis laboratory, the measurement of vWF antigen and ristocetin cofactor activity is key components in the diagnostic algorithm for vWD. With all forms of vWD, however, bleeding episodes can be severe and may require treatment, particularly during or following surgery or dental work. The primary care physician can and should play a role in recognizing the signs and symptoms of vWD and in referring patients for proper management. The treatment of bleeding in vWD involves the use of desmopressin and plasma-derived vWF concentrates and a variety of adjunctive agents. This article gives a detailed description of the case report on a 5-year-old boy who presented with vWD in dental clinic and also imparts the knowledge on back ground, pathophysiology, classification, diagnostic measures and treatment modalities of this fatal bleeding disorder from dental perspective.

Arachnoid cysts are congenital and non-tumorous intra-arachnoid fluid accumulations that make up about 1% of all intracranial space. occupying lesions. We report a patient with a fourth ventricle arachnoid cyst extending to the upper border of the dens of the axis. This patient progressively developed walking difficulty and stiffness in his legs together with difficulty in grasping objects with his hands within one year. The cyst was totally excised and the patient's symptoms improved in the early postoperative period, but he developed intraventricular and intracisternal air which was followed-up conservatively and resolved spontaneously.

ABSTRACT Introduction Anatomy of the cervical vertebrae allows free flexion, extension, and rotation, which take place almost entirely in the first two cervical vertebrae. Variation in the articulation of upper cervical spine-like congenital fusion of the atlas to the base of the occiput, i.e., occipitalization of the atlas, is one of the common skeletal abnormalities. Such variations will produce irregular motion and at times a definite instability of the joint involved. Conclusion Considering the nature and functional importance of the joints in relation to these bones, the resulting disability is one of the rare occurrences and deserves special attention. Such patients exhibit neurological signs and symptoms usually no sooner than the second decade. Thus, anatomy, variations, and anomalies of the craniocervical junction are of high clinical importance to many specialties like anatomists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, and manipulative therapists, as they markedly influence mobility and stability of the cervical region.
