Background Nummular headache is a rare, recently described topographic headache defined by the circumscribed coin-shaped area of pain. It is classified as a primary headache. There is debate about whether it is due to a peripheral or central disturbance, and its relationship to migraine. Case
Eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is a well-recognized benign form of Langerhans-cell histiocytosis. The estimated incidence of EG is 3-4 per million of the population. More patients are children and adolescents between the ages of 1-15 years. In this report, we present an adult patient. A 37-year-old
BACKGROUND
Eosinophilic granuloma is a form of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis, most commonly involving the skeletal system. We present the first case of an eosinophilic granuloma originating from the dura mater with secondary parenchymal and osseous invasion.
METHODS
A 32-year-old man was referred
BACKGROUND
Eosinophilic granuloma (EG), a benign bone lesion, represents a focal form of histiocytosis X. Here, the authors report a case of an extremely rare presentation of a solitary EG of the skull.
METHODS
A 9-year-old boy presented with headache and vomiting for 3 days. His examination was
The formation of an epidural hematoma from an eosinophilic granuloma of the skull is an exceptional occurrence. A 9-year-old boy presented with severe headache, somnolence and vomiting following a minor head injury. Cranial computerized tomography scan showed a seemingly depressed skull fracture
A case of eosinophilic granuloma of the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone is reported. The patient was a 5-year-old white male, with left temporal-frontal headache, left III cranial nerve palsy, left exophthalmos and ptosis caused by an osteolytic lesion of the anterior clinoid process extending to
Eosinophilic granuloma (EG), Letterer-Siwe disease and Hand-Schuller-Christian disease are collectively called Langherans-cell histiocytosis (LCH). While the latter two are systemic diseases, the former is a localized form of histiocytosis. Solitary EG of the skull are rare lesions characterized by
Eosinophilic granuloma is a variety of histiocytosis-X with unknown etiology. Eosinophilic granuloma occurs as single or multiple lesions of bone destruction. It is seen more commonly in children or young adults although it may be found at all ages. Other sites like the lung and the gastrointestinal
We present a case of multiple osteolytic lesions in a 28-year-old adult who presented with headache, back pain, and hip pain of 6 months. There was no history of localized swelling or rise of temperature, no history of weight loss or evening rise of temperature. On examination, there were no focal
BACKGROUND
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a disorder of immature LCH cells, eosinophils, macrophages, lymphocytes, and multinucleated giant cells. Eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is a focal form of LCH that presents mostly in the skull, femur, vertebrae, pelvis, mandible, and ribs. Intracranial
The patient was a 16-year-old girl complaining about progressive swelling on the right side of her face, right headache, and right orbital proptosis. A CT scan revealed a lytic mass centered in the greater wing of the right sphenoid bone with extension into the orbit, middle cranial fossa, and
Eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is a benign, self-limiting disorder that usually involves a single bone. However, there is a growing evidence that the clinical picture of EG is protean. We report two cases with EG that showed rare presentations. Case 1: A 14-year-old girl complained of headache in the
A 13-year-old girl presented headache for 5 d upon admission to hospital. An initial CT revealed 3 lesions located in her skull, the sizes of which were 2.5 cm×3.2 cm,1.2 cm×1.0 cm,0.3 cm×0.3 cm, respectively. The largest lesion was resected by surgery and confirmed as eosinophilic granuloma by
