Epilectic seizure due to neuroglial cyst

Background: A 41-year-old woman without a relevant history was admitted to the emergency department after an epileptic seizure

Lyme neuroborreliosis

Background: A 24-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with headache, apathy, aphasia and mild paresis of the right leg. Routine laboratory results revealed slightly raised infectious parameters

Terson’s syndrome. M. Eyselbergs, M.H. Voormolen

A 55-year-old-woman suddenly woke up with the worst headache she ever experienced. The clinical picture deteriorated fast and by the time she was admitted to the emergency department, she developed anisocoria and was in a coma (Glasgow Coma Scale, 3/15). A non enhanced computed tomography of the brain was performed and revealed a subarachnoid hemorrhage (Fig. A) caused by a ruptured aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery (Fig. B, black arrow). The aneurysm was successfully treated by endovascular occlusion with coils

Testicular sarcoidosis

We describe a very unusual form of sarcoidosis of the testis, mimicking malignancy at initial presentation. Genitourinary sarcoidosis is rare and this case report emphasizes the importance of meticulous analysis of the patient’s clinical history combined with imaging findings and specific pathological criteria to diagnose this granulomatous disorder

Ileocolic intussusception due to lipomatosis of the ileum: a common complication of a rare clinical entity

We report a case of intestinal ileal lipomatosis in a 56-year-old Caucasian male complicated with small bowel obstruction due to ileocolic intussusception with a lipoma serving as lead point. This rare disease is often only discovered incidentally as a consequence of mechanical complications and not well reported in the international literature, compared to intussusception due to an isolated lipoma. Computed tomography is the imaging modality of choice to depict complications of this distinct clinicopathological entity. Density measurements can confirm the fatty content and homogeneity analysis of the lesions can guide the radiologist in the differential diagnosis
