RESUMO
Osteoarticular tuberculosis is a rare affection that touches the knee in 8 per cent of cases and particularly the kneecap in less 0.1 per cent. We return a case of the kneecap tuberculosis at a child of 10 years vaccinated correctly by the BCG with an osteolytic lesion in the right kneecap. The diagnosis has been confirmed by a histological exam and the child received a treatment during 12 months with good evolution
RESUMO
The persistent stapedial artery is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that may present as pulsatile tinnue or may appear as incidental finding. It can occur as an isolated anomaly or in association with an aberrant internal carotid artery. We report the case of a 13-year-old girl presenting with left hearing loss and a retrotympanic reddish pulsatile mass on otoscopic examination. A computed tomography scan and a MRI were performed and identified a persistent stapedial artery associated with an aberrant left internal carotid artery
