    Peters\u27 anomaly is a rare congenital eye condition characterized by anterior segment dysgenesis and commonly presents as unilateral or bilateral corneal opacity in the early neonatal period. Peters\u27 anomaly is often associated with congenital brain and skull abnormalities, which are frequently overlooked. In this paper, we present a case of a 5-day-old female neonate with Peters\u27 anomaly, and review the literature for similar reports that describe associated brain imaging findings. In our case, imaging studies show abnormalities involving the anterior segments of both globes with absent intracranial manifestations. Although Peters\u27 anomaly is a condition of interest for ophthalmologists, radiological studies should be performed, and neuroradiologists should be aware of the imaging findings associated with this rare entity

    A 61-year-old HIV+ male presented to an infectious disease clinic with a complaint of sore throat. A painless ulcerated mass was discovered on the right tonsil resulting in further evaluation with a CT scan of the neck. Imaging confirmed the presence of a mass centered on the palatine tonsil and associated lymphadenopathy. A presumptive diagnosis of HPV-related squamous cell carcinoma was made due to patient risk factors. However, multiple biopsies found no evidence of carcinoma, but instead revealed the presence of spirochetes that stained positive fo
