Reverse Foster Kennedy Syndrome Caused by an Intra-axial Tumor.

We present a case of a 23-year-old male complaining of painless loss of vision in right eye for 1 year and rapidly progressing vision loss in left eye with bilateral lateral rectus palsy. His fundoscopy revealed optic atrophy on the right side and papilledema on the left. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed intra-axial contrast-enhancing left frontal tumor. We discuss this first case of reverse Foster-Kennedy syndrome in the English literature with emphasis on the clinico-radiological and clinico-histopathological correlation.

Explosion of dermoid cyst into five intracranial spaces- a rare event.

Rupture of a dermoid cyst is a rare but well known phenomenon. We present a case of forceful rupture of dermoid cyst into five intracranial spaces which is never been reported before. Timely detection, early intervention and watchful follow-ups can lead to full recovery from such a devastating complication.

Deep brain stimulation of anteromedial globus pallidus internus for severe Tourette syndrome.

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a complex disorder characterized by tics and is associated with behavioral problems. Although its intensity decreases in adolescence and adult life, in some cases it continues to remain severe and refractory to medical treatment. Deep brain stimulation has been offered as a treatment option in such cases. We report two cases of TS treated with of anteromedial globus pallidum internus. Both the cases had good postoperative control of tics and associated obsessive-compulsive behavior.
