Olfactory neuroblastoma (ON) is a rare malignant neuroectodermal tumor of the nasal cavity. The malignancy accounts for <3% of tumours originating in the nasal cavity. Through the nasal cavity, ON may infiltrate the sinuses, the orbit and the cranium. The tumour is characterized by a pattern of slow growth and local recurrences. Olfactory neuroblastoma is a neoplasm that can histologically mimic many tumours within the sinonasal tract. Treatment options are surgical excision combined with a radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy combination treatment.The present study reports the case of a 45 year-old male patient with a mass in the nasal cavity who was treated by combined surgical excision and radiotherapy. The literature for ON and the treatment of the tumour are also discussed.

: Aim of the work was to highlight unusual complications such as aphasia, apraxia and dysphagia following viper bite. In this case report, a 55 years old male who had developed Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) and Right hemiparesis after an hour of saw-scaled viper bite on his right foot was described. His MRI report revealed chronic infarct in bilateral fronto parietal lobe. Difficulty in speaking and swallowing were observed and the patient was under nasogastric feeding. For assessing speech and language skills, Western Aphasia Battery and Apraxia Battery for Adults-2 was used. Manipal Manual for Swallowing Assessment was used for assessing the swallowing skills.: The assessment results indicated that the patient had Broca’s aphasia with Non-Verbal oral apraxia and oropharyngeal dysphagia. Improvement was observed in swallowing and verbal communication skills following speech-language intervention. Aphasia, apraxia and dysphagia were unusual complications following viper bite. Therefore, it is important for a speech language pathologist to have knowledge regarding various causes of stroke for better speech, language and swallowing management

Tuberculosis (TB) is endemic in India, alone contributing for two thirds of total cases worldwide. Spinal tuberculosis accounts for 1-2% of all cases of tuberculosis. However, spinal intramedullary tuberculoma occurs in as few as 2 out of 1000 cases of tuberculosis involving central nervous system. This may present in form of meningitis, tubercular spondylitis, arachnoididtis or tuberculomas mostly. The most common site of involvement is found to be the thoracic region of spine affecting relatively younger age groups and often seen in association with extraspinal tuberculosis disease. The source of intramedullary tuberculosis is mostly hematogenous spread from a site of primary TB elsewhere in the body which is usually the lungs.Due to rarity of the disease misdiagnosis is frequent.Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the investigation of choice and histopathological examination and culture are confirmatory methods for diagnosis of tuberculosis.Microsurgical resection is better option for rapidly progressing intramedullary tuberculosis cases. Here we report a rare case of isolated spinal intramedullary tuberculoma of thoracic spinal region.

Every cell in the human body is said to produce a cell specific rhythmicity, these rhythms are governed by the brains internal core clock. These rhythms are essential for maintaining day to day function of our body. These rhythms play a greater role in therapeutics as the drug perfusion in our body is time dependent. In neurology, a 24 hour rhythmic activity of epileptic seizure is a topic of greater interest. The rhythmic activity in epilepsy and seizure occurrence is related to the circadian variation in excitatory and inhibitory balance in neurons. There are two core circadian genes BMAL1 and CLOCK, that code for transcription factors, tend to influence the excitability and threshold of the seizure. Although there is uncertainties about the circadian rhythmicity that includes rhythm related factors such as time of the day seizure responses, frequency of occurrences of the seizures. In other cases the time of occurrences of the seizure is consequential to the severity of the seizures. However an improved seizure prediction can open new possibilities of research by understanding the efficacy of the treatment and the drugs used to control seizure. Better clarity on the severity and rhythmicity of the seizure can bring about newer and novel therapeutic options which can be beneficial in treatment of epilepsy. Lastly future studies in these area can clarify the seizure pathways involved in generating the rhythmic patterns in disease manifestation.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects approximately more than 50 million people around the globe, out of which the prevalence of this disease is also seen in developed countries. Epilepsy can be clinical defined by two or more non triggered seizures. A seizure can be characterized as a paroxysmal event which is caused due to hyper–synchronization in the neurons that many have various reasons of manifestation. The neuronal discharge maybe focal spreading in specific brain cortex or widespread throughout the cortex. An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is used to in diagnosis and management of epilepsy and can be used for routine examinations, it also considered to be the golden standard investigation of epileptic syndrome. While using EEG the distribution, presence and frequency of interictal epileptiform discharges IEDs are suggestive diagnosis of epilepsy. In other words the presence of IEDs in an individual’s EEG is a diagnosis of epilepsy. IEDs are predominantly found in EEG that is performed during sleep which can give basic diagnosis and prognosis of sleep related epilepsies in patients. During sleep latent interictal discharge are activated. Sleep IEDs are said to greatly affect the epilepsy management. These interaction mechanisms of sleep and epilepsies tends to bring about changes in behaviour of the seizure.

The incidence of venous aneurysm is less than the arterial aneurysms. The knowledge of Popliteal vein aneurysm (PVA) is important as it could be a source of pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis and so could be fatal. PVA could be an incidental finding during the investigations for pulmonary embolism or chronic venous insufficiency. We report a case of left popliteal vein aneurysm in the popliteal fossa in a 65-year-old female cadaver observed during routine dissection. A large saccular dilatation was noted in the left popliteal vein in the distal part of the popliteal fossa. The right popliteal vein was normal.An early diagnosis of PVA with doppler ultrasound examination is important to prevent the occurrence of any thromboembolic events or other major complications.

Congenital Epulis or Neumann’s tumour is a rare benign outgrowth commonly from the maxilla in a new-born. It presents dramatically at birth of a child with breathing or feeding problems. The treatment in such symptomatic infants is prompt excision which presents a challenge to Surgeons but more so to the anaesthesiologist. A case report is presented here with a focus on the methods of anesthesia and surgery. A brief literature review is also presented.
