    Abstract Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system which is characterized by attacks of optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. An association between NMO and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has been rarely recognized, having been reported only 3 times before. Here we report on a patient with NMO who eventually developed subarachnoid hemorrhage, in order to emphasize that the association between NMO and ICH is mostly not incidental and that the pathological basis for this association should be investigated thoroughly.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and since the outbreak, many neurological features and syndromes are reported with this multi-organ viral infection. Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS) also referred to as chronic post hypoxic myoclonus is defined as action myoclonus which can occur as generalized, focal, or multifocal repeated myoclonic motor movements which involve the face, trunk, or extremities and it is one of the neurological complications that are related to COVID-19 infection. LAS is reported as a delayed complication of cardiac arrest, which causes cerebral hypoxia leading to myoclonus. We report a case of a 58-year-old male patient diagnosed as a case of LAS secondary to hypoxia occurring because of COVID-19 without cardiac arrest and to the best of our knowledge it is the second case reported with this similar mechanism. Moreover, we discuss the possible pathophysiological relationship between LAS and COVID-19 and various treatment strategies. Eventually, we review the related articles in the literature regarding the LAS and various types of myoclonus associated with COVID-19 infection.

    Abstract Introduction: Adult Intussusception is an uncommon diagnosis, with one to three cases occurring in a population of 1,000,000 per year, primarily due to underlying pathological lead points, of which 70% are malignant. Lipoma is the most common benign tumour, and primary adenocarcinoma is the most common malignant one. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to reducing poor outcomes, including ischemia, perforation, and sepsis. Computed tomography imaging is a modality of choice for diagnosis. With a diagnostic accuracy of up to 100% and a specificity of up to 71%. Surgical intervention is the definitive treatment, and the decision is taken according to the situation.
    Case presentation: A 61-year-old Black African female presented to our surgical casualty with intermittent colicky abdominal pain for 1 month. After that, she started to experience abdominal swelling in the right iliac fossa. A CT scan confirmed the presence of colo-colic Intussusception, cecum-ascending-transverse colon. Laparotomy was scheduled, and a right hemicolectomy was done accordingly. Diagnosis of adenocarcinoma (Dukes stage B2) was made histologically.
    Conclusion: Intussusception in adults is a challenging diagnosis requiring high clinical suspicion and has a high incidence of fatal complications. Colonic cancer can be worsening by any infection and chronic medical problem. CT imaging is the lifesaving modality of choice for diagnosis. Good patient outcomes depend on timely diagnosis and recruitment of a multi-disciplinary team.

    Abstract Aortic dissection (AD) is a serious condition that causes transient or permanent neurological problems that include spinal cord ischemia (SCI), which occurs when AD extends into the descending aorta resulting in insufficient perfusion of segmental arteries that supplies the spinal cord. We report a 64-year-old male, presented with severe back pain, asymmetrical paresthesia, and weakness of both limbs, more in the left lower limb with loss of pinprick, temperature, and fine touch sensation on the lower left lower limb below the level of T5 with preserved proprioception and vibration and urine hesitancy. Computed tomography showed AD, Stanford type A, and spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed hyperintense owl's eye sign at T5. The patient was diagnosed as anterior spinal artery syndrome secondary to an AD and referred for aortic surgical repair with good functional outcome. In our review to cases of SCI due to AD, it was more common in males above 55 years, pain only found in 47.8% of patients, with anterior cord syndrome on top of the clinical presentations, and hypertension is the most common risk factor. MRI spine showed thoracic location predominance. Surgical or endovascular repair especially for type A and complicated type B should be considered to avoid complications, and cerebrospinal fluid drainage is a very useful tool in reversing SCI specially if done early with favorable outcome. Only the old age is associated with increased risk of mortality. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for better outcome.

    Abstract Background: The presence of ectopic thyroid tissue is a developmental disorder that affects about one per 100,000-300,000 people. It is extraordinarily rare for ectopic thyroid to be out of the lines of its descent. This case is the first to report a cancerous ectopic thyroid in the mandibular bone with a goitrous orthotopic thyroid gland.
    Case presentation: 80-year-old female of free medical background presented to our clinic with painless left mandibular swelling that recent increase in size after tooth extraction. Surprisingly the diagnosis of ectopic thyroid tissue with cancerous follicular cells was reached upon histological analysis. The goitrous thyroid gland was found in its expected cervical location, and the patient was euthyroid.
    Conclusion: Because this diagnosis extremely rare, the possibility of ectopic thyroid carcinoma in cases of a pathological mass in the mandible must always be carefully thought out. A high degree of suspicion is essential as the unusual presentation could take.

    Abstract Introduction: The typical herpes simplex viral encephalitis (HSVE) course is an acute illness, less commonly it may present as a chronic course, mainly in children, and rarely may it be subacute. Subacute HSVE is rarely described in the literature being reported 4 times only.
    Case report: We here report 2 cases of subacute HSV1 encephalitis diagnosed based on cerebrospinal fluid polymerase chain reaction and magnetic resonance imaging findings and review the literature trying to find any specific clinical, laboratory, radiologic diagnostic or prognostic criteria regarding this subacute form of HSVE.
    Conclusion: There is subacute form of HSVE and should be suspected with any subacute febrile illness with nonspecific cognitive impairment even in the absence of focal neurological symptoms and in cases with rapidly progressive dementia. This form has similar radiologic finding and good response to acyclovir but carry even better prognosis than that the acute HSVE.

    Abstract A 55-year old Sudanese physician presented with one month history of diarrhea, loss of weight (10 kg) and low grade nocturnal fever. Following colonoscopy, he rapidly developed paraparesis and retention of urine. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spinal cord showed low cord lesion suggestive of transverse myelitis. We present a detailed account of diagnostic and management challenges and a literature review of the final diagnosis of acute toxemic schistosomiasis, complicated by acute flaccid paraplegia due to schistosomal myeloradiculopathy. We are reporting this case to increase the awareness of physicians of schistosomal myeloradiculopathy, as it needs urgent specific treatment praziquantel and steroids. An early follow-up with MRI of the spinal cord (2 weeks treatment) may help in preventing unnecessary neurosurgical intervention. Bilharziasis may be contracted on the banks of the river "White Nile" in urban areas. Finally, clinicians should make use of the Google computer search for diagnosis in difficult cases.
