We describe the case of a 43 year-old woman with chronic headache and diplopia. The neuroradiologic exam showed volume increase and alteration in the bone density of the clivus. She was submitted to surgery and the anatomopathologic evidenced fibrous dysplasia. Other 14 of about fibrous dysplasia involving the clivus are related in the literature. We discuss clinical aspects, image exams, histology and treatment of this rare presentation of the disease.

[Dural sinus thrombosis: case report].

We report the case of a 24 year-old pregnant woman, seen at the neurology service by presenting agitation, hallucinations, mental confusion, headache, vision loss, aphasia and seizures. The neuroradiologic exam was compatible with thrombosis in dural sinus and cortical veins. Treatment with abciximab was accomplished and the mechanical lysis of the thrombus was made obtaining restoration of cerebral vein flow. After the procedure, she presented frontal hematoma which was withdrawn surgically. We discuss this infrequent pathology in clinical picture, pathogenesis, image exams and therapeutics.

[Thoracic spinal cord avulsion without radiologic abnormalities: case report].

Spinal cord injury without radiologic abnormalities is a rare condition that occurs more frequently in children and contributes to a high rate of morbidity among these patients. We report the case of a five-month-old infant, victim of automobile accident, who was brought to our service with a sensitive level in T2 and bilateral crural paraplegia. Radiographic exams and computed tomography of spine did not evidence of bone or ligaments injuries. Magnetic resonance image showed complete spinal cord transection and spine avulsion in the segment between T3 and T7. We discuss this pathology according to its epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment and prognostic aspects.
