Ritscher-Schinzel syndrome, or 3C (cranio-cerebello-cardiac) syndrome is a developmental disorder characterized by cranio-facial, cerebellar and cardiac anomalies. It is a rare disease with an incidence of 1/1,000,000 inhabitants, and was first described by Ritscher-Schinzel in 1987. 3C syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation on the long arm of chromosome 8 to 8q24.13, the KIAA0196 locus, the strumpellin protein gene. The cardiac and cerebral anomalies are most often leading cause of death at an early age and people with 3C syndrome rarely exceed 40 years. In this paper, we report a case of Ritscher-Schinzel in 3-month-old boy who was admitted to our neurosurgical department in September 2020. Clinical examination revealed a macrocrania with head circumference at 47 cm. There was a prominence of forehead and occiput, the root of the nose which was flat, hypertelorism and micrognatism. The CT scan revealed Dandy WALKER malformation with cystic dilation of the 4th ventricle, an aplasia of the cerebellar vermis associated with a tretraventricular hydrocephalus.

Treatment by mirror therapy (MT) restores motion in injured limbs without invasive procedures. This process is widely accepted for rehabilitating patients with phantom limb pain, stroke victims, or patients who need therapy after nerve damage. The procedure is specifically useful in restoring motion to the hand after surgical repairs to the extensor muscle and tendons. Mirror therapy rewires the brain by making the restored limb remember hand motions by observing the motions of a normal hand. The concept of a mirror image is that the movement of the uninjured arm forms the illusion of the same movement in the affected arm. Efforts to repeat hand movements elicit the same reaction in the affected hand in what is referred to as Hebbian learning. This case study evaluated MT’s effectiveness in motion restoration after a glass injury. This case study showed restoration of normal hand motions in a patient following surgery to repair a glass cut to the arm. Surgery repaired the lacerated extensor tendon and radial nerve. The muscle belly was repaired, and a graft fixed the nerve gap. Once the arm healed, the patient underwent rehabilitation in mirror therapy to restore normal function in his hand. After conducting mirror therapy, the pain was eliminated, and the patient restored normal function of moving the hand and finger extension. In addition, the therapy could be conducted at home without needing a professional. The effectiveness of mirror therapy was seen in the functional restoration of hand and finger movement. The process is also less complicated as it can be performed at home.

Hailey-Hailey disease also known as familial benign chronic pemphigus is a rare bullous genodermatosis that affects intertriginous area symmetrically. It presents with flaccid blisters, erosions and maceration resulting in increased morbidity, reduced quality of life for affected patients. It is rare in occurrence with an incidence of rate of 1 in 50,000. It is diagnosed with a combination of clinical and histopathological findings. While there is no known cure, its relapsing remitting course can be managed with medication. This case describes an unusual presentation of familial benign chronic pemphigus with a late age of onset of symptoms, atypical distribution and resistant to multiple therapies.

Management of thromboembolic disease in an acute bleeding circumstance like haemorrhagic stroke is a real challenge in low-income settings. We report a case of a 37-year-old woman who was treated in the neurologic service for a haemorrhagic stroke that occurred one week after a caesarean section. Six weeks after her discharge, she presented signs of bilateral deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism confirmed by venous Doppler ultrasound and a thoracic angiography respectively. Transthoracic cardiac ultrasound showed right ventricular dysfunction with a clot in the right atrium. Considering the high risk of complications due to anticoagulant treatment, surgical treatment and a vena cava filter were proposed. But it could not be performed because it was not accessible. After a multidisciplinary consultation meeting and informed consent of the patient, anticoagulant treatment was the preferred expectation. Three weeks after the beginning of the anticoagulant therapy, the evolution was favourable, and the patient was discharged.
