From 1982 to 1992, 65 patients presented to our service with sinusitis complications. In this report we will analyze our clinical material with emphasis on the type of complications, clinical presentations, and radiologic findings. The most common complication was orbital (83.1%), followed by intracranial (18.5%) and bony (7.7%). There was a higher incidence of complications in the second decade of life (44.6%), and 83.2% of the cases occurred in the third decade of life. The main complaints were orbital swelling (63.1%), fever (33.8%), headache (32.3%), and rhinorrhea (21.5%). The predominant signs were eyelid swelling (73.8%) and rhinorrhea (64.6%). The most frequent radiologic findings (x-ray, CT, MRI) were pansinusitis (40%), maxilloethmoidal sinusitis (24.6%), and maxillary sinusitis (13.8%). All patients were treated with intravenous antibiotics, and surgery was performed in 50.8% of the patients. Almost all patients (98.5%) had a good outcome, and one patient died (cavernous sinus thrombosis). Complicated sinusitis can be a life-threatening condition. CT and MRI are a great aid in the diagnosis of these complications.

The Central Nervous System

Calcifying pseudoneoplasm of the neuraxis is an uncommon, nonneoplastic fibro-osseous lesion of the central nervous system. At the time of this report, at least 150 cases have been reported in the literature. Because of the rarity of this lesion, it is often diagnostically challenging for radiologists and pathologists alike. In this article, we present a case of a 44-year-old woman with a 5.8-cm intracranial/skull base calcifying pseudoneoplasm of the neuraxis that was concerning for osteosarcoma on initial frozen section. Permanent sections revealed bone and fibrous stroma, calcifications, and nests of histiocytes with granuloma formation. Scattered, focally dense inflammatory foci and spindled cells outlining abundant large nodules of chondromyxoid matrix were also present. In this case report, we also reviewed recent literature for clinical presentations, radiologic findings, and histologic differential diagnoses. Familiarity with this lesion is important to avoid misdiagnosis leading to unnecessary and potentially harmful treatment.

Severe Respiratory Illness

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection is spreading worldwide, and due to multi-organ involvement, it could mimic other well-known diseases. Case Presentation: Herein, we describe the case of a pediatric patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), who developed severe respiratory illness with diffuse pulmonary involvement after consuming all-transretinoic acid during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: All-transretinoic acid syndrome is a very similar condition to COVID-19 both in clinical presentations and radiologic findings; thus, the treatment of such patients may be challenging.

Abstract This article was prompted by the submission of two challenging cases that exemplify the decision processes involved in using the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides). In both cases, the physical examinations were normal with no evidence of illness behavior, but, based on their histories and clinical presentations, the patients reported credible symptoms attributable to specific significant injuries. The dilemma for evaluators was whether to adhere to the AMA Guides, as written, or to attempt to rate impairment in these rare cases. In the first case, the evaluating neurologist used alternative approaches to define impairment based on the presence of thoracic outlet syndrome and upper extremity pain, as if there were a nerve injury. An orthopedic surgeon who evaluated the case did not base impairment on pain and used the upper extremity chapters in the AMA Guides. The impairment ratings determined using either the nervous system or upper extremity chapters of the AMA Guides resulted in almost the same rating (9% vs 8% upper extremity impairment), and either value converted to 5% whole person permanent impairment. In the second case, the neurologist evaluated the individual for neuropathic pain (9% WPI), and the orthopedic surgeon rated the patient as Diagnosis-related estimates Cervical Category II for nonverifiable radicular pain (5% to 8% WPI).
