● Intramuscular myxoma is a rare disease oftentimes presenting with palpable masses or pain.
● Intramuscular myxoma is a surgically treatable, benign neoplasm.
● Vigilance for any muscular masses that might explain the patients’ back pain is important for not missing the diagnosis.

● The International spinal cord injury survey is now conducted in Iran named InSCI-IR.
● The InSCI-IR is focused on estimating catastrophic costs of patients facing spinal cord injury.
● The InSCI-IR is started in Guilan province and 600 SCI patients (200 facing paraplegia or tetraplegia) will participate in the stud

• Meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system tumors and different subtypes of this disorder have been reported.
• One of the rarest subtypes is rhabdoid meningioma, which is an aggressive and recurrent one. In this report, we present a patient with a large head mass diagnosed as rhabdoid meningioma.
• A similar case with such a large size has never been reported in previous literature.

• Neck pain in candidates for anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (ACDF) surgery decreases after the surgical
procedure.
• The disruption of the cervical spine ligaments is significantly improved after ACDF surgery.
• The shorter the duration of symptoms, the more patients with severe pain sought medical attention.
• Younger patients experience greater pain intensity.
• No significant relationship with the severity of neck pain after the surgery was observed.

• Multidisciplinary approach: Diagnosis and management of intraventricular infections require collaboration between
clinicians, imaging specialists, and therapeutic intervention teams.
• Imaging features: Ventricular debris on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) serve
as characteristic findings aiding in diagnosis, with additional modalities, such as nuclear scintigraphy and ultrasonography
as supplementary tools.
• Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis: Increased leukocyte counts and identification of common pathogens, such as
gram-negative organisms and streptococcus species are crucial diagnostic indicators.
• Prompt diagnosis and treatment: Essential to reduce mortality rates associated with intraventricular infections,
emphasizing the importance of early intervention.
• Therapeutic interventions: Intraventricular antimicrobial therapy may be considered in refractory cases, alongside
long-term antibiotic treatment and follow-up monitoring as standard practice.
• Surgical intervention: Craniotomy or neuroendoscopic lavage may be necessary, especially in emergent situations,
to optimize outcomes and prevent complications.
• Need for further research: Precise treatment protocols, particularly for primary bacterial ventriculitis, require additional
investigation to guide effective clinical decision-making.
• Proactive approach: Comprehensive understanding and proactive management strategies are essential to mitigate
morbidity and mortality risks associated with intraventricular infections.
