Challenging diagnosis and management of anaplastic meningioma in a pediatric patient: A case report.

This case report highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic journey of a 16-year-old female presenting with chronic headaches, ultimately diagnosed with anaplastic meningioma. Despite its rarity in pediatric patients, anaplastic meningioma necessitates swift recognition and management due to its aggressive nature. Imaging findings, including CT and MRI, initially suggested a provisional diagnosis of hemangiopericytoma, emphasizing the diagnostic challenge posed by this condition. Surgical intervention revealed unexpected histopathological findings, highlighting the importance of thorough evaluation. Treatment involved frontal craniectomy and excision followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. While the patient's postoperative course was uneventful, histopathology confirmed the presence of anaplastic meningioma, leading to the adjustment of her clinical management. This case shows the need for heightened suspicion and comprehensive evaluation in similar presentations to facilitate timely intervention and improve patient outcomes.

Post-traumatic jejunal branch of superior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm in paediatrics: a compelling case report highlighting early diagnosis and successful endovascular embolization.

Introduction and importance: This manuscript underscores the critical significance of prompt diagnosis and intervention in cases of post-traumatic gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysms. Such occurrences, particularly in the paediatric population, are rare but potentially life-threatening complications following abdominal trauma, necessitating heightened clinical awareness. Despite their rarity, the devastating consequences of delayed recognition and management emphasize the necessity for advanced imaging modalities and individualized treatment strategies. Case presentation: A 17-year-old male presented with severe epigastric pain following a football fall. Despite initial stability, persistent symptoms prompted further investigation. Conventional screening methods proved inconclusive, leading to a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan that revealed a jejunal branch of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) pseudoaneurysm. The subsequent fluoroscopy-guided angiography and successful embolization using glue exemplify the importance of timely intervention in such cases. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of early recognition and appropriate intervention in post-traumatic jejunal branch of SMA pseudoaneurysms. The successful outcome achieved through endovascular embolization underscores the necessity for vigilant monitoring and tailored management strategies in similar clinical scenarios.

Bilateral Freiberg disease in a young female dancer: A case report.

Freiberg's infarction is the disorder of cartilage degeneration. The second metatarsal head is most vulnerable to Freiberg's infarction due to its longer length and relative immobility. It is exposed to repetitive stress even during normal activity. The multifactorial etiology of Freiberg's infarction is mentioned in the literature. It commonly affects the adolescent female with a female-to-male ratio of 5:1. High prevalence in adolescent females is explained in some literature due to wearing high heels, which leads to repetitive forced dorsiflexion injuries to the metatarsal head. Our case is an adolescent female of 20 years who was participating in dancing for 5 months. On examination, there is swelling and tenderness in the bilateral foot, more on the right side. Plain radiography showed the flattening of the head of the right second metatarsal with increased joint space. Mild sclerosis of the underlying bony cortex was seen. A mild deformity with flattening of the lateral surface of the head of the left second metatarsal was also seen.
