Acute stroke as the initial manifestation of neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus and anti-phospholipid syndrome in a child patient.

Introduction And Importance: Neurologic disorders are among the most significant clinical symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), primarily affecting the central nervous system. Both SLE and APS increase the risk of cerebrovascular events, and stroke is one of the most serious and late consequences that often occur years after diagnosis. Stroke as an initial symptom is uncommon in its early stages and frequently misinterpreted as ischemic cerebrovascular illness, posing diagnostic challenges.

[EMBOLIZATION OF MIDDLE MENINGEAL ARTERY AS A TREATMENT FOR CHRONIC SUBDURAL HEMATOMA].

Chronic subdural hemorrhage (CSDH) is one of the most common reasons for neurosurgical intervention. The incidence and prevalence of this condition is expected to grow due to aging of the population and the increase in anticoagulation and anti-aggregation prescription drugs. Traditionally, it was accepted that the bleeding originates from bridging veins that drain the brain towards the dural sinuses.

Moyamoya disease in a 2-year-old patient from the middle east: a case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a condition characterized by progressive narrowing of arteries in the brain and abnormal development of small collateral vessels. It is commonly found in East Asia but has never been reported in Palestine.

Case Presentation: A 2-year-old female, part of a twin born to non-consanguineous parents, presented with recurring seizures and developmental regression.

A rare case of multiple high-grade dural arteriovenous fistulas manifesting as progressive confusion and abnormal behavior.

Introduction And Importance: Multiple dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are rare intracranial vascular malformations with fatal consequences. Patients usually manifest with variable clinical presentations, which depend on the fistula's size, location, and the development of complication. Digital subtraction angiography continues to be the gold standard neuroimaging modality for diagnosis.

Eosinophilic granuloma affecting the parietal bone of the skull: A case report and literature review.

Background: The rare form and mildest variant of Langerhans cell histiocytosis is eosinophilic granuloma (EG). In the clinical presentation, EG can be monostotic, polyostotic, or can encompass many organs. The parietal bone is the most common location of the skull bones that are affected by EG.

Predictors of functional recovery following surgery for foot drop due to degenerative lumbar disease.

Objective: Surgery for foot drop secondary to lumbar degenerative disease is not always associated with postoperative functional improvement. It is still unclear whether early decompression results in better functional recovery and how soon surgery should be performed. This study aimed to evaluate predicting factors that affect short- and long-term recovery outcomes and to explore the relationship between timing of lumbar decompression and recovery from foot drop in an attempt to identify a cutoff time from symptom onset until decompression for optimal functional improvement.

Pediatric posterior fossa incidentalomas.

Purpose: Pediatric brain incidentalomas are increasingly being diagnosed. As the posterior fossa (PF) is the location of most brain tumors in children, lesions of this region are of special interest. Currently, the natural history of incidental lesions in the PF is unknown.
