    Abstract Acoustic neuromas are the most common lesion in the cerebellopontine angle. The authors report a unique case of acoustic schwannoma, presenting in middle cranial fossa masquerading as meningioma in a 24-year-old man, presenting with headache and focal seizures. Contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain revealed a mass lesion of the right middle cranial fossa consistent with features of meningioma. Intraoperatively a well-defined tumor with attachment to anterior petrous bone was excised. In the immediate postoperative period, the patient developed right-sided hearing loss, which was proven to be retrochoclear hearing loss on brainstem evoked response audiometry. Histopathology findings were consistent with benign schwannoma. Acoustic schwannoma originating in an unusual location middle cranial fossa is a plausible explanation of such unusual occurrence. Such a case has never been reported in the literature.

    Abstract Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system. Spinal cysticercosis is a rather rare clinical occurrence. Intramedullary (IM) spinal NCC is rarer still. Furthermore, cases of IM-NCC at lumbar levels are few and far between. We present a case of a 35-year-old male patient who was diagnosed to have IM-NCC at L2-3 level and was managed surgically with no recurrence at 2 years of follow-up. A systematic literature review (1992-2020) highlights it to be only the third case reported with exclusive lumbar involvement.

    Abstract Intradiploic epidermoid tumors are uncommon and giant epidermoid with dural involvement is scarcer. We report a unique case of a giant frontal epidermoid tumor presenting without typical features of swelling or bulge in scalp. A 61-year-old male presented with the complaints of forgetfulness and headache. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging brain revealed a large left frontal epidermoid tumor. A tumor measuring 13 × 11 × 4 cm, involving the dura but sparing the brain parenchyma, was excised through left frontal craniotomy. Such a presentation of giant epidermoid tumor with dural involvement is highly unusual. Complete surgical excision is the final aim and vigilant follow-up for recurrence is a must.

    Abstract Background: The gravity of "second wave" of COVID-19 has effaced many new challenges in India; mucormycosis being a recent one. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a known significant risk factor for mucormycosis. Here, we present our experience with rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) during the "second wave of COVID-19" at a tertiary health care centre in North India.
    Methods: This case series includes four cases of ROCM that were managed by our neurosurgical team in view ofcerebral involvement.
    Results: All the cases with an exception of one (Case 1), had a history of treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia. Case 2, 3 had undergone functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and orbital decompression before the onset of cerebral involvement; Case 4 underwent FESS and cranial surgery in the same sitting. All the patients had a history of DM and all the cases treated for COVID-19 pneumonia had a history of treatment with corticosteroids. Two patients underwent surgery with the exception of one patient, who did not provide consent for the same. One patient expired before surgical excision could be attempted.
    Conclusion: Regular and intensive follow-up is the key in swift detection and management of ROCM in post-COVID patients. While surgical excision is advisable in the fungal lesion, it must be borne in mind that radical excision of cerebral lesions is associated with morbidity, delayed recovery, and prolonged ICU stay. Culture and sensitivity-based antibiotics should be used judiciously as fever is a common postoperative complication. Blood sugar monitoring and control of DM are paramount in this condition. Steroids should be avoided in the management of cerebral edema with judicious use of hypertonic saline or mannitol.

    Abstract Thirty-three indigenous and 24 exotic mulberry accessions belonging to five Morus spp. originated from seven countries distributed in temperate and tropical climates were observed for their response to two major foliar diseases during 2010 and 2011 under temperate conditions of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Leaf spot and powdery mildew severity (Percent Disease Index (PDI)) ranged from 0.00 to 74.90% and 0.00 to 59.85%, respectively. Indigenous and exotic accessions responded similarly to leaf spot, but varied too much to powdery mildew. Irrespective of origin, response in ascending order of PDI for leaf spot is M. multicaulis , M. indica , M. alba , M. kayayama and M. bombycis and for powdery mildew is M. multicaulis , M. kayayama , M. bombycis M. alba and M. indica . Among indigenous accessions, Brentul Kashmir offered highest resistance to both the diseases. Nadigam offered maximum resistance only to leaf spot followed by Himachal local; while Chinarpati followed by Mysore local only for powdery mildew. Among exotic accessions, Ichinose offered maximum resistance to both the diseases followed by Kokusou-21 and Tagowase.

    Abstract The incidence of natural enemies on the mulberry pyralid, Glyphodes (=Margaronia) pyloalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) infesting mulberry crop was studied at Pampore, Kashmir during 2008 and 2009 cropping seasons. Five hymenopteran parasitoids including three braconids (Apanteles obliquae Wilkinson, Bracon hebetor Say and Chelonus carbonator Marshall) and two ichneumonids (Pristomerus sulci Mahdihassan and Kolubajiv and Xanthopimpla sp.) were found to parasitize the larvae. Two predators, viz. Tetragnatha sp. (Araneae: Tetragnathidae) and Philodromus sp. (Araneae: Philodromidae) were also recorded. The activity of these natural enemies was observed from July to October in the cropping period spread over May-October.

    Abstract Epidural hematomas which are located at the vertex are rarely seen and form a small percentage of total epidural hematomas. Tearing in the superior sagittal sinus is the usual cause of an epidural hematoma located in the vertex. The clinical features of this entity are non-specific; hence, localization of the lesion is difficult. We report an adult who was hit by a motorcycle and was initially discharged from the hospital as a case of concussional head injury. He returned back with raised intracranial pressure symptoms, so a CT scan was done but was misinterpreted, and he reported one week later with bilateral abducent nerve palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed vertex EDH for which he was operated.These hematomas are seen rarely and can be interpreted as an artifact. Its recognition is important because it has an excellent prognosis. We concluded that all head injury patients should get high axial cuts on the CT scan, and any degree of suspicion should prompt a neurosurgeon to investigate further with coronal CT scan or MRI.

    Abstract Background: The use of force to control public uprisings, riots, unruly mobs is an important tool in any administrative setup. Law enforcement agencies often resort to aerial firing, which can be responsible for unintended injuries due to stray bullets.This study was designed to study the pattern of stray bullet injuries and to generate awareness about the hazards related to the use of live ammunition during riot control.
    Methods: This study was conducted in our unit of the neurosurgery department over a period of 18 months, from June 2008 to December 2010. We enrolled all patients who had head or spine injuries caused by stray bullets from firing during riot control far away from the site of injury.
    Results: We had two patients with head injury and two with spinal injury sustained because of stray bullets. One of the patients with head injury was operated and the other one was managed conservatively; the latter died on the third day of injury, while the former is surviving with some residual neurological deficit. Amongst the patients with spinal injury, neurological deficits persist till date. None of the patients were aware that they had sustained a bullet injury, and it was only after inquiry that we came to know that the police had resorted to aerial firing for controlling public agitation in nearby areas.
    Conclusion: Aerial firing of live cartridges is generally considered an 'innocuous' method; however, in view of the potential for injury to innocent bystanders, we recommend that the use of live cartridges during aerial firing be banned.
