▪️2-year-old boy with gross motor delays presented with wide-based, unsteady gait and headaches over 1 month. A brain MRI reveals a large posterior fossa mass (☝️🏼☝️🏼). 
He has mutations in the gene for β-catenin .
He had no evidence of familial predisposition syndrome.

▪️تشخيص الحالة ..
✨..(Medulloblastoma)..✨
حيث وتصيب الأطفال كما هو موضح بحالتنا ونلاحظ من خلال الأعراض قبل صورة ال MRI أن الطفل عنده مشكلة بالحركة والمشي والتوازن وهذا كله من وظائف المخيخ ال cerebellum فهذا الورم يصيب المخيخ والصورة المرفقة تؤكد مكان ال mass كما أن الصداع كان chronic وناتج بسبب ال pressure ..

▫️a 17-year-old young man unknown to have any medical illness transferred from other hospital as a case of hydrocephalus and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). He had a complain of headache for 3days that subsided with paracetamol.
(CT) was performed, and it showed a well-defined, lobulated large mass measuring expanding the frontal horn and body of right lateral ventricle .

▫️تشخيص الحالة ..
✨..(Central neurocytoma)..✨
يعتبر low grade neoplasm يوجد في ال ventricle وخاصة بال lateral ventricle وتسبب ضغط و dilatation للventricle وكأنها hydrocephalus ولكونه سرطان كان مُصاحب بنزيف بالمنطقة فأعتقدوا بالبداية أنه hydrocephalus ..
لكن ال ventricle لم تكن مملوءة بالسائل كانت تحوي كتلة صلبة ومحددة وهذا هو تشخيص الحالة ..

A prion is a misfolded protein that can cause other proteins to misfold in a chain reaction. This can lead to damage to the brain and other tissues. Prion diseases are rare and always fatal.

There are several types of prion diseases, including:

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD): CJD is the most common prion disease in humans. It is characterized by a rapidly progressive dementia and other neurological symptoms.
Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS): GSS is a rare prion disease that is characterized by a slowly progressive dementia and other neurological symptoms.
Fatal familial insomnia (FFI): FFI is a rare prion disease that is characterized by insomnia, difficulty walking, and other neurological symptoms.
Kuru: Kuru is a prion disease that is found in Papua New Guinea. It is caused by cannibalism.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE): BSE, also known as mad cow disease, is a prion disease that affects cattle. It can be transmitted to humans who eat infected meat.
Prion diseases are caused by the misfolding of a protein called prion protein (PrP). PrP is found in all mammals, but it is only misfolded in people and animals with prion diseases. The misfolded PrP can then cause other PrP molecules to misfold, leading to a chain reaction that damages the brain and other tissues.

There is no cure for prion diseases. Treatment is supportive and aimed at relieving symptoms.

Prion diseases are rare, but they are always fatal. The incubation period for prion diseases can be long, ranging from months to years. The symptoms of prion diseases vary depending on the type of disease, but they can include:

Dementia
Memory loss
Difficulty walking
Seizures
Muscle rigidity
Coma

Prion diseases are transmitted through contact with infected tissue or fluids. This can happen through eating infected meat, through medical procedures, or through contact with blood or other bodily fluids.

There is no way to prevent prion diseases. However, there are steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of transmission, such as avoiding eating infected meat and practicing good hygiene.

If you are concerned about prion diseases, please talk to your doctor.

CEREBRAL INFRACTION
Due to sever ischemia

𑁍 THE FEATURES
• In the first day
- Neurons cells shrunken (pyknotic) with eosinophilic cytoplasm ( red Neurons


• from first day to third day
- Neurons cells without nucleus
- Neutrophils infiltration in the parenchyma
- Neutrophils attack eosinophilic neurons
- Cuff of neutrophils around and within Blood vessels


• from sixth day to seventh day
- Foamy macrophages engulf the necrotic cells and debris

• After twelfth day
Occurs Gliosis with increase of Astrocytes
(non functional)
