It is composed of both epithelial and mesenchymal components, without any formation of calcified dental structure, and it can present in two clinical forms: a central (intraosseous) and a peripheral (extraosseous) variant.

Maniragaba Dieudonne,Nsanzabagenzi Dionys,Hakizimana Patrick,Nduwimana Fran?ois,Bizoza Yves
Background: Meckel’s diverticulum is the most prevalent congenital small bowel abnormality, which occurs when the omphalomesenteric duct fails to completely obliterate during the eighth week of pregnancy. Only 4% - 16% of individuals exhibit symptoms, while most patients are asymptomatic. Gastrointestinal bleeding is the most frequent occurrence in children; in contrast, intestinal obstruction is the most common complication in adulthood. The majority of Meckel’s diverticula are discovered incid...

Prevalence of Seeking Traditional Healers in the Treatment of Hemorrhoids and Its Complications among Patients with Hemorrhoidal Visiting the Surgical Outpatient Clinic at a Somali Sudanese Sepcialized Hospital in Mogadisho, Somali

Abdihakim Elmi Abdisahkur,Hussein Adam
Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are dilated veins in the anal canal and lower colon. The symptoms are primarily caused by increased pressure in these veins due to straining during defecation or any activity that causes strain. As the pressure rises, blood flow in the anal veins increases, leading to swelling and dilation. The most common effects of hemorrhoids include perianal swelling, thrombosed or prolapsed hemorrhoids, bleeding, and anal itching. Introduction: 1) To identy...

This is a prospective cohort study of 32 adult Congolese Negroid males who had previously undergone keloidectomy with immediate closure or keloidectomy followed by dressings and then skin grafting. The study covers the period from January 1, 2011, to April 30, 2023, with a follow-up of at least 18 months. The majority of pat...

A Rare Case of Extracranial Metastatic Glioblastoma: Lung Infiltration as an Uncommon Presentation

Halit Alioglu,Omar Alomari,Şermin Kökten,Hikmet Turan Suslu
Background: Glioblastoma is the most prevalent and aggressive primary malignant brain tumor, known for its rapid growth and local invasion. While it predominantly remains within the central nervous system, extracranial metastasis is extremely rare, involving the liver, lymph nodes, thorax, spleen, and bones. Thoracic involvement is often associated with the worst prognosis. Aim: This paper presents a unique case of lung metastasis from glioblastoma, highlighting...

Hemangiopericytoma of the Falx Cerebri: A Rare Intracranial Tumor: A Case Study

Ilias Zahir,Kaoutar Stitou,Oualid Mohammed Hmamouche,Marouane Hammoud,Faycal Lakhdar,Mohammed Benzagmout,Khalid Chakour,Mohammed El Faiz Chaoui
Meningeal hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor that accounts for less than 1% of brain tumors. Its radiological appearance can be misleading and may lead to a misdiagnosis of meningioma. The definitive diagnosis is histological. Treatment primarily involves surgery and radiotherapy. The post-treatment course is characterized by frequent recurrences and distant metastases, requiring long-term follow-up. We report the case of a patient with a falx cerebri hemangiopericytoma whose progression was not...

Resolution of Trigeminal Neuralgia Following Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

Kaoutar Stitou,Ilias Zahir,Oualid Mohammed Hmamouche,Marouane Hammoud,Faycal Lakhdar,Mohammed Benzagmout,Khalid Chakour,Mohammed El Faiz Chaoui
Trigeminal neuralgia is a neurological disorder marked by severe, stabbing pain in the face, often resulting from vascular or tumor-related compression of the trigeminal nerve. In rare instances, it can be linked to hydrocephalus. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman with both trigeminal neuralgia and hydrocephalus. MRI scans did not show any neurovascular compression at the trigeminal root entry zone. After treating the hydrocephalus, the patient’s trigeminal neuralgia symptoms were effec...
