JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF HEAD NECK & SPINE SURGERY Abstract Traumatic leptomeningeal cysts are a rare complication of a childhood skull fracture. Clinical manifestations of a childhood trauma are very rare in adults and usually presents as a nontender subcutaneous mass with progressive neurological deficit and seizures. Keywords: Leptomeningeal cyst; Adult; Trauma; Seizures; Skull fracture Abbrevations: CT: Computed Tomography; MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging; CSF: Cerebrospinal Fluid; T1WI: T1-Weighted Images; T2WI: T2-Weighted Images Case Report A 28-year-old male presenting with a gradually increasing scalp swelling in the left parietal region over a long period and seizures. The patient was conscious. On physical examination, there was a cystic swelling over the left parietal prominence. The swelling was compressible but non-tender and non-pulsatile.

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF HEAD NECK & SPINE SURGERY Abstract Epidermoid cysts occur when two epidermal surfaces fuse together during early intrauterine life and an ectodermal part is retained deep to the surface. They are very slow growing, and symptoms may not occur till middle age. Intradiploic epidermoid cysts are less common than the intradural varieties [1,2]. Keywords: Intradiploic epidermoid; Symptoms; Subcutaneous tissue; Epithelium Abbrevations: FNAC: Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology; CT: Computed Tomography Scan; MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Case Report A 24-year-old female patient presented with right side forehead swelling since childhood which was insidious in onset, gradually progressive, persistent, not relieved with medication. On examination a single smooth ovoid cystic swelling of size 3×1cm was seen on right lateral part of forehead. Neurological examination was normal. Computed tomographic scan revealed a 32×27×

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF HEAD NECK & SPINE SURGERY Abstract Questionnaires are important tools to assessment due its easy application, low charge and possibility of self-report of the assessed. The Back Pain and Body Posture Evaluation Instrument (BackPEI) and the Back Pain and Body Posture Evaluation Instrument for Adults (BackPEI-A) are questionnaires to assess the back-pain presence and associated risk factors. The BackPEI assess only school children while BackPEI-A assess only adults and has a score system which indicates the subject risk factors exposition level to back pain development. The aim is proposing a score system specific to BackPEI. The score system uses only those questions involving risk factors to back pain development, such as: physical exercise practice; time spent watching television and using computer; number of hours sleeping and habit of reading/studying on bed; occurrence of back pain among parents; postures adopted to

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF HEAD NECK & SPINE SURGERY Abstract Prolapsed intervertebral disc (PIVD) commonly presents as lower back ache associated with features of radiculopathy. We present an unusual case of a patient presenting with foot drop and our diagnostic and therapeutic protocol for the same. Our patient was a 40-year-old female who was diagnosed as a case of PIVD L4-L5 and was advised for non-operative treatment. During her treatment, the patient received intramuscular analgesic therapy immediately following which the patient reported a foot drop in the left lower limb. While the patient was initially thought to present with an acute neurological worsening of the affected disk requiring urgent decompression. However, post injection nerve palsy was kept as one of the differentials. The diagnosis of post injection palsy was confirmed by obtaining an NCV study and MRI neurography. She was subsequently managed conservatively via a foot drop

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF HEAD NECK & SPINE SURGERY Abstract Prostate cancer brain metastases are extremely rare and typically occur at a late stage in the course of the disease with poor prognosis. However, the incidence is rising as novel antiandrogens and radionuclide therapy prolong survival and change the natural course of the disease. Surveillance imaging of the brain is not the current standard of care. We present two cases of patients who had brain metastases from prostate adenocarcinoma initially detected on prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and also provide a review of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, imaging features, pathogenesis and current treatment modalities of prostate cancer brain metastases. Our patient with multiple brain metastases is still alive three and a half years post initial diagnosis after being successfully treated with surgery, androgen deprivation the
