The first case description is in 1884 [1]. The incidence of calcified chronic subdural haematoma has been reported to be 0.3% to 2.7% of all chronic subdural haematoma. Case Description: We reported a case of 27 year-old male presenting with deterioration of motor function in his right limbs since 1 month before admission, and brain imaging C-T scan and MRI were done;pathological lesion was successfully and completely removed, with good improvement post-surgery.展开更多

Background: PLID is very rare in adolescence. Heavy lifting and trauma are the main causes;back pain and radicular pain are the most common clinical presentations, and surgical treatment gives satisfactory outcome after failure of conservative treatment. Methods: During period from January 2014-January 2019 twenty patients between 14 - 20 years old underwent for lumbar disc surgery in Neurosurgery department, Hadramawt University, Yemen, 18 patients were males while 2 were females. Results: Twenty patients 18 males (80%) while 2 females (20%) all patients have low back pain (100%), unilateral sciatica in (90%), bilateral sciatica in (10%) and sphincter disturbance in (10%). The most common affected level is L4/5 represent (80%) while L5/S1 (20%), partial lumbar laminectomy in (40%) and microdiscectomy and fenestration in (60%). Complication rate was (15%) and recurrence only (5%). Conclusion: PLID in adolescence is very rare;back pain and sciatica were the main clinical presentation. Meticulous surgical procedures give satisfactory outcome and excellent result.展开更多
