We report a case of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder in a 31 year-old woman. She presented at the emergency room with low abdominal pain and urinary symptoms. Abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed and revealed asymmetric thickening of the urinary bladder wall. Cystoscopy with urinary cytology revealed a benign nature of the pro...

conclusions although, the exact cause of pseudotumor cerebri in most individuals is unknown, but we should remind tuberculosis specially in endemic area for this infection. case presentation here, we presented a 14-year-old girl who referred to our hospital for fever, headache, vomiting and diplopia which has not respond to antibiotic therapy for acute meningitis. finally, with more evaluations...

Brucellosis is bacterial zoonoses. In endemic areas brucellosis can present with clinical features of nearly any neurological illness. Meningitic presentation is most common, with patient presenting with either acute or chronic meningitis. Pseudotumor--like presentation is also documented and accounts for only 4% of cases of neurobrucellosis. Here we are documenting a case of neurobrucellosis w...

We report a case of inflammatory pseudotumor in the maxillary sinus of the left side. Inflammatory pseudotumor in the paranasal sinus is very rare. It is difficult to make a diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumor without a histopathological diagnosis, because it simulates malignant disease clinically. A 65-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of headache and swelling of the left che...

Background. Pseudotumor cerebri is an acknowledged but unusual complication of oral minocycline use. Vision loss and papilledema have been described as mild and transient, and some authors suggest that treatment is not needed. Methods. Case series of 2 patients with severe papilledema and visual field loss. Results. Severe pseudotumor cerebri developed in 2 nonobese patients taking minocycline....

Pseudotumor cerebri is characterized by headaches, visual field changes, papilledema and an elevated cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure without evidence of an intracranial mass. In the setting of failed medical therapy, surgical options such as ventriculoperitoneal shunts and optic nerve sheath fenestrations are considered. Recently, venous sinus stenting has emerged as a new treatment option...

Idiopathic orbital pseudotumor is a benign, noninfectious, and nonneoplastic disease with unknown cause. It is the third most common orbital disease after thyroid orbitopathy and lymphoproliferative disorder. Idiopathic orbital pseudotumor is extremely rare in pediatric age group and may cause real diagnostic problems. This paper describes a 4-year-old girl who presented with sudden ptosis in t...

Pseudotumor cerebri is an uncommon manifestation of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and is characterized by an elevated intracranial pressure, papilledema with occasional abducens nerve paresis, absence of a space-occupying lesion or ventricular enlargement, and normal cerebrospinal fluid chemical and hematological constituents. Pseudotumor cerebri has been reported in a fe...

Abstract Background Urinary bladder masses are uncommon in the pediatric age group and pose a diagnostic challenge, often necessitating histopathological differentiation confirmation. An unusual mimic of neoplastic mass is inflammatory pseudotumor, timely identification diagnosis which prevents undue patient stress radical treatment. Case presentation We present case 7-year-old female child who...
