ABSTRACT Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea is common in traumatic penetrating nasal injuries. In the pediatric age group, we often encounter self-inflicted foreign body injuries of blunt type, which rarely leads to any complications. We came across a case of CSF rhinorrhea due to self-inflicted penetrating nasal injury, after 7 years of initial injury. In this case, the sharp end of a screw nail had injured the fovea ethmoidalis and caused a meningoencephalocele on removal, which had been asymptomatic until 4 years ago, when the patient came with CSF rhinorrhea. Miraculously, there were no complications in the period before presentation and after surgical correction. How to cite this article Rajasekar MK, Sankar MR.

Cortical extraventricular supratentorial ependymomas are rare and fewer than 15 cases are reported worldwide. In pediatric age group, seven cases are reported. We report a rare case of 4-year-old boy with right frontoparietal anaplastic ependymoma who underwent gross total excision of lesion.

A hydrocele of canal of Nuck is a rare condition seen in females, commonly in the pediatric age group. The canal of Nuck is an extension of peritoneum into the inguinal canal through the deep ring, analogous to the processus vaginalis in males. Incomplete proximal obliteration and collection of serous fluid in the sac leads to the formation of a hydrocele of canal of Nuck. Here we present a rare case of hydrocele of canal of Nuck in an adult female.
