ABSTRACT
Maculopapular or morbilliform eruptions may be the most common of all cutaneous drug reactions. Antimicrobials, NSAIDS, barbiturates, anticonvulsants, oral hypoglycemics etc. have been commonly implicated in these adverse reactions (ADR). Here, authors are presenting a case of a 38-year-old female with morbilliform eruptions due to aceclofenac for the treatment of joint pain. The patient was treated with antihistaminics, steroids, antimicrobials and local application of GV paint. She was discharged after eleven days with good recovery.
ABSTRACT
Paraganglioma is a neuroectodermal tumour which originates from the chromaffin cells. Paraganglioma of spinal cord is uncommon lesion and usually presents as intradural tumour within cauda equina. We present a case of 42 year old female having spinal paraganglioma which developed in lumbar segment of spinal cord. The patient complained the pain in lower back and both legs with sensory deficit in left lower limb. Preoperative MRI showed a intradural mass. Patient operated with laminectomy and durotomy with complete excision of mass. Histopathology and Immunohistochemistry study showed the Zellaballen pattern and positive markers for Viamentin, Synaptophysin, Chromogranin A and Neurone specific enolase. Paraganglioma is a rare tumor with recurrence potential so total precision excision is the best option to achieve cure and to reduce the chance of recurrence.
