[A rare cause of exophthalmos, hydatid cyst of the orbit].
INTRODUCTION: The orbital hydatid cyst is a rare (1 to 2%) localization of the Echinococcus granulosus parasite. OBSERVATIONS: An intra-orbital localization of hydatidosis was revealed in two patients by the occurrence of unilateral exophthalmia. After tumoral resection the diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination. COMMENTS: The principle clinical sign of an orbital hydatid cyst is exophthalmia. Imaging is essential for pre-operative diagnosis. Serology is insufficient and treatment is surgical.

[Paraganglioma and pregnancy].
A paraganglioma is an extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma, rarely observed during pregnancy. Maternal prognosis depends on early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management prior to tumor resection. The tumor is localized by ultrasonography or MRI. During the post-partum, and if MRI is not available, CT is often sufficient. We report a paragangliona in a patient with intrauterine fetal demise at 27 weeks gestation diagnosed by ultrasonography and computed tomography, who underwent surgical resection.

[Cholestatic icterus due to primary duodenal lymphoma].
Primary lymphoma of the duodenum presenting with obstructive jaundice is a rare entity. We report a case of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the duodenum producing biliary obstruction, definitively diagnosed by ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy. Complete remission of the disease occurred after chemotherapy.

[A rare cause of spinal cord compression: osteochondroma of the thoracic spine. A case report].
Osteochondroma or exostosis is the most common benign tumor of bone, but vertebral involvement is rare. The authors report the case of a 16 years old male with a family history of hereditary multiple exostoses who presented with spinal cord compression. MR examination showed an intraspinal extradural bone lesion at the T1-T2 level, hyperintense on T1 weighted and hypointense on T2 weighted images, causing marked cord deformity. The CT scan showed a tumor of the body and left pedicle of T2 with severe narrowing of the spinal canal.

[Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis].
Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection, invading rapidly the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, orbits and intracranial structures. It most often occurs in predisposing conditions (diabetics, immunosuppressed patients). The authors report the case of a diabetic patient who presented with extensive necrotic lesions of the face in spite of appropriate antistaphylococcic therapy. Diagnosis was confirmed by histologic and mycologic tests. The outcome was favorable after Amphotericin B therapy, daily debridement, and optimal control of the diabetes.

[Isolated tuberculosis of the spleen. Report of a case].
Isolated tuberculosis of the spleen is rare and difficult to diagnose. The features and management of this disease are discussed based on one case. A 52-year-old woman, presented with fever of unknown origin and splenomegaly. Ultrasonography and computed tomography demonstrated heterogeneous areas within the spleen. The diagnosis was made by a pathologic study of a splenic fragment obtained during laparotomy. When the spleen is the only organ involved by tuberculosis, the diagnosis is usually made by a pathologic study of splenic tissue obtained during laparotomy or percutaneous needle biopsy.

[Hemangioma of the humerus: value of imaging].
Hemangioma is an uncommon bone neoplasm that usually affects the craniofacial bones and spine, accounting for less than 1% of all primary bone tumors. The authors report a case of isolated hemangioma involving the proximal humerus in a 22-year-old man. Radiographically, the lesion was a well-defined osteolytic process with marginal sclerosis. The CT images demonstrated an osteolytic lesion with coarse trabecular pattern and partial cortical breakthrough. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a multilocular and hemorrhagic lesion with fluid-fluid level, that was suggestive of aneurysmal bone cyst.

[Tuberculosis of the posterior vertebral arch. A case report].
Tuberculosis of the spine usually involves the vertebral body and intervertebral disk. Involvement of the posterior arch is rare. We report a case of tuberculosis involving the posterior elements of the T4 and T5 vertebrae in a 38 year old woman. CT is helpful to assess bony structures whereas MRI is ideal to evaluate the neural structures. Clinical, radiographic, and therapeutic considerations regarding tuberculosis of the spine are reviewed.

[Traumatic false aneurysms of intracranial artery].
The authors report a case of intracranial traumatic aneurysm at young a 21 years old patient. He presented with recurrent epistaxis 3 months after craniofacial trauma. An aneurysm of the left carotid artery was diagnosed at cerebral angiography. Endovascular treatment was performed with favorable outcome. In spite of their rarity, posttraumatic intracranial aneurysms should be suspected in patients with recent or remote history of trauma, even minor, presenting with secondary clinical deterioration, in order to carry out emergent angiographic exploration, before contemplating definitive surgical or endovascular treatment.

[Nodular fasciitis or pseudosarcoma].
Nodular fasciitis is a benign neoplastic and reactive proliferation of fibroblasts of soft tissues, which is often mistaken for a sarcoma because of its rapid growth, rich cellularity and mitotic activity. A case is reported that provides the opportunity to discuss the specific clinical and pathological features of nodular fasciitis.

[Post-traumatic hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm. A case report].
CASE REPORT: We report a case of traumatic hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm in a 9-year-old child. The diagnosis was made by duplex sonography and helical CT angiography. Arteriography confirmed and managed the lesion with transcatheter embolization. CONCLUSION: The traumatic hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon complication of liver trauma in children whose diagnosis is made by duplex sonography and CT angiography. Endovascular embolotherapy is the treatment of choice.

[Subcapsular hematoma of liver during pregnancy: report of 4 cases].
A Subcapsular hematoma of the liver is a rare but very serious complication of pregnancy. Diagnosis is confirmed at imaging (Ultrasound, CT, MRI) since clinical symptoms are not specific and biological signs have a delayed manifestation. The management of this complication depends on the integrity or rupture of Glisson's capsule. We report the cases of 4 patients and review of the literature.

[Simple cyst of the cerebellum. Report of a case].
The authors report a case of simple cyst of the cerebellum documented by magnetic resonance imaging in 42-year-old men with clinical symptoms of expansive cerebellar lesion. No communication with the ventricle, no mural nodule and no enhancement after contrast injection were noted. The postoperative outcome was satisfactory after surgical removal. Histological examination of the cyst wall showed normal cerebellar tissue without epithelial lining neither tumoral features. A brief review of the seventeen cases founded in the literature is given.

[Bilateral and spontaneous hemorrhage of the renal sinus. Report of a case].
Renal sinus hematoma is a rare complication of anticoagulant therapy. Prognosis is usually excellent with spontaneous regression. The authors report a case of spontaneous bilateral renal sinus hematoma in a 59-year-old woman, treated by anticoagulants for a cardiac disease. Diagnosis and follow-up are made using computed tomography.
