A simultaneous bilateral intertrochanteric femur fracture is an extremely rare injury and there is paucity in the literature reportingthe best outcome with a bilateral surgery or a staged fixation. Here, we report the case of a 55-year-old male who sustained bilateralintertrochanteric femur fracture and operated in a staged manner with Dynamic Hip screw (DHS). After 6 months of surgery, thepatient was allowed to full weight bear and return to his routine office work.

Infection can cause cerebral vasculitis not only by direct invasion of the vessel wall, but by immune complex deposition, or throughsecondary cryoglobulinemia. Here, we report the case of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) in a middle-aged woman who presented withdiabetic ketoacidosis, hyponatremia and accelerated hypertension and after 24 hours had right-sided hemiplegia. Her imaging MRIbrain without contrast was suggestive of acute stroke. Hence, she was thrombolysed but she did not show any improvement. RepeatMRI brain with contrast showed tuberculomas and after starting Anti-Tubercular Treatment (ATT), she became alright within 3 days.There was no hemiplegia after 3 days of ATT. So TBM can also present as vasculitis with stroke and it should be kept in mind becauserecognition of TBM will change the line of treatment and patient can recover within a few days.

Pseudoaneurysm is deficit of all the 3 layers of the blood vessel. Superficial temporal artery due to its course is more prone for traumaand 95% of the pseudoaneurysm of the superficial artery is due to trauma. Here, we report the case of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm ofthe superficial temporal artery in a 19-year-old patient. The patient came with the complaints of swelling in the left side of the foreheadfor 3days and a history of trauma 3 days back by a cricket ball. A duplex scan showed a pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporalartery. Surgical excision of the aneurysm was done after ligating proximal and distal pedicles. Digital subtraction angiography is thegold standard investigation, but duplex would be enough in most of the cases for diagnosingand surgical excision after ligating theproximal and distal pedicles is the treatment of choice.
