Subdural hematoma complication middle fossa arachnoid cyst

We report a case of a middle aged patient with middle fossa arachnoid cyst that was complicated by subdural hematoma. This was demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging that remain the most useful diagnostic tool, and providing excellent tissue specificity. Patient was treated by irrigating the hematoma through burrholes. Magnetic resonance imaging in the postoperative period showed a reduction in size of the arachnoid cyst

Sixth nerve palsy and sphenoidal sinusitis

Sphenoid sinusitis is an uncommon infection that accounts for approximately 3% of all cases of acute sinusitis. It is usually accompanied by pansinusitis; less commonly it occurs alone. We are presenting a case of a 30 year old young male patient who presented with three weeks history of headache, along with blurry vision and diplopia. Neurological examination showed evidence of bilateral sixth nerve palsy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed evidence of pansinusitis, including sphenoidal sinusitis. Cerebrospinal fluid studies showed no evidence of meningitis

sporadic case of probable creutzfeldt-Jakob disease from north of Jordan

The authors are presenting a case of a 70 year old from North of Jordan, who presented with a 2 month history of progressive dementia followed by myoclonic jerks. His electroencephalogram showed periodic sharp complexes, and brain magnetic resonance imaging showed evidence of bilateral hyperintense signals in the basal ganglia
