Lipid-poor vertebral hemangioma mimicking a vertebral metastasis of cervical carcinoma.

Vertebral hemangiomas are classified into typical and atypical forms. On imaging, atypical forms may look like malignant lesions. The confrontation of data from different imaging modalities (MRI; CT; scintigraphy) facilitates the diagnosis.

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome: A Complication of Acute Renal Failure in a Child.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-radiological entity occurring during several conditions and more frequently in those associated with severe hypertension. The diagnostic approach is possible by considering the clinical context and MRI data, where white matter abnormalities are observed predominantly in the parietal and occipital territories secondary to the formation of a vasogenic edema. The evolution is characterized by a reversibility of the lesions in case of early diagnosis and management. The authors report a case of reversible posterior encephalopathy in a 12-year-old child who presented with a status epilepticus, revealing an acute renal failure.

A spinal cord compression syndrome revealing neurofibromatosis type 1: A case report.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), formerly known as von Recklinghausen disease is an autosomal dominant disease with multisystem involvement. In the peripheral nervous system, it leads to the development of benign tumors from the tissue of the spinal or cranial nerve sheaths, known as "neurofibromas." We report the case of a 40-year-old patient with spinal cord compression syndrome in whom spinal MRI revealed cervical, dorsal and lumbosacral neurofibromas revealing neurofibromatosis type 1.

Trichobezoar: A Rare Cause of Gastric Obstruction.

Trichobezoar is a rare disorder of the young girl with a psychiatric profile. It is suspected when there is a notion of trichophagia, although its clinical manifestations are non-specific. Imaging through CT scan, plays a fundamental role in the diagnosis of extensive forms.

Caudal Regression Syndroma: A Rare Cause of Chronic Constipation.

A malformative syndrome of the lower spine pole, caudal regression syndrome is a rare condition (1-5 cases/100 000 births). It usually occurs in children of diabetic mothers and includes a wide range of disorders. This case illustrates a subtype of this syndrome (type IV, group I) in a non-diabetic mother.

Bone Manifestations of Neurofibromatosis Type 1.

Von Recklinghausen disease is the most common phacomatosis. It can affect many systems, including the bone system. Through these 2 cases, we illustrate the bone manifestations of this disease.

Neurological Involvement Complicating Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis.

Cerebral aspergillosis is a fungal infection with a bad prognosis. It usually occurs in immunocompromised patients and manifests itself .Cross-sectional imaging reveals suggestive lesions.

A rare case: Spontaneous gastric fistula from a hydatid cyst of the liver.

The hydatid cyst is a worldwide anthropozoonosis, which constitutes a health issue in Northern Africa. It may involve any organ, but it mostly affects the liver. This often asymptomatic disease can lead to multiple complications. Among them, spontaneous fistulization of a hepatic hydatid cyst in the stomach is exceptional even in endemic countries. We report the case of a 38-year-old female with febrile biliary colics due to a hydatid cyst of the liver fistulized in the stomach. The diagnosis was established based upon different clinical, biological and mainly radiological features. She received surgical treatment with satisfactory postoperative outcome.
