Abstract We report an intraventricular cyst in a 2-year-old boy who had myoclonic jerks of the extremities. The cyst had no communication with the ventricular system or subarachnoid space. Total removal of the cyst adhering to the choroid plexus was accomplished. The glial cyst wall was lined in part by flattened or cuboidal epithelium. The preoperative and postoperative computed tomographic scans and magnetic resonance images are presented, and congenital benign cysts in the lateral ventricle are reviewed and discussed.

AbstractNorovirus is a common cause of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide. The disease can present with varying degrees of neurologic impairment from benign convulsions to rare cases of severe encephalopathy. We describe a case report of a North American infant who presented with norovirus gastroenteritis, status epilepticus, severe encephalopathy, and abnormal but reversible diffusion restriction changes on magnetic resonance imaging of brain.

Introduction: Ulnar volar dislocation (UVD) is a very rare entity. Due to rarity of condition, usually, it’s misdiagnosed at emergency departments and management of this clinical entity is not well studied. Here, we report a case of UVD impressing diagnostic challenge, indication of treatment, and follow-up. Case Report: A 29-year-old man presented to orthopedic outpatient service with complaining of the right wrist pain. He had an assault history 3 days before. In the emergency department, he had been diagnosed as wrist sprain. Splint and pain killers were prescribed. Due to increase of pain, he admitted to orthopedics. He was diagnosed UVD. Under general anesthesia, joint was reduced with forced pronation maneuver. After 3 weeks immobilization period, magnetic resonance images revealed partial injury of triangular fibrocartilage complex then splint removed and rehabilitation initiated. Over than 24 months, he is doing well without movement limitation and wrist strength impairment. Conclusion: For prevention misdiagnosis of UVD, physical examination is very important. Forearm rotation limitation with pain in the wrist should be indicative for distal radioulnar joint injury. Physical examination should be supported with proper evaluation of suitable radiographs. After reduction of joint, magnetic resonance images give clues about ligamentous injury. Our case supports the importance of rigorous physical examination and evaluation of radiographs for wrist injury. In the presence of partial injury of ligaments, the condition can be treated with shorter periods of immobilization and early rehabilitation. Keywords: Wrist pain, ulnar volar dislocation, distal radioulnar joint, forearm rotation.

We report the a case of Nora's lesion (Bizarre Parosteal Osteochondromatous Proliferation) of the sesamoid. A 32-year-old woman presented with a painless, enlarging mass of two years duration on the plantar aspect of the first metatarsophalangeal joint of the left foot. Radiographs, Computerized Tomographs and Magnetic Resonance images, initially suggested a parosteal osteosarcoma arising from the tibial sesamoid. The mass was excised, and a histological diagnosis of Bizarre Parosteal Osteochondromatous Proliferation of bone (Nora's lesion) was made. The aggressive growth of this lesion may suggest a neoplasm clinically. Histological features, however, are those of a reactive lesion.

A case of ossification of transverse ligament of atlas (TLA) is reported. A 76-year-old female suffered from a transverse type myelopathy was successfully treated by posterior decompression. Dynamic lateral plain radiographs showed irreducible atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS). A computed tomogram revealed ossified mass compatible to ossification of TLA. Coalition of the atlantooccipital joints and osteoarthritis of the atlantoaxial joints with degenerated dens was also revealed. Magnetic resonance imaging showed compressed spinal cord at C1 level by the ossification of TLA and AAS. We suggest a mechanism of ossification of TLA as follows: hypertrophied dens and stress to the atlantoaxial joints caused by coalition of atlantooccipital joints could make forward shift of atlas leading to irreducible AAS, and continuous tension given to TLA from irreducible AAS would result in hypertrophied and ossification of TLA.

A 29-year-old female had presented to surgical outpatient's department complaining of lump in the anterior abdominal wall. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a solid degenerated tumor in the anterior abdominal wall. It was surgically excised, and histopathology confirmed it to be “ancient” schwannoma. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of an abdominal wall ancient schwannoma in the medical literature.
