RESUMEN
Type 1 neurofibromatosis is the most common of all the phakomatosis. It is a hereditary neurocutaneous syndrome that may involve any organ or system of the body. Central nervous system lesions are frequent and dominated by neoplasms and nonneoplastic hamartomatous lesions. Craniocerebral vascular abnormalities are relatively rare, most often occlusive or stenotic. The occurring of intracranial aneurysms during the neurofibromatosis type 1 gives rise to the question of the fortuitous aspect or not of this association, especially as the quasi-totality of the reported aneurysms in the literature are sacciform and most often unique. We report an original case of ectasic diffuse vasculopathy of the cerebral arteries associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 in a 43-year-old man presented with seizures.

OBJECTIVE: To specify CT scan roll in diagnosis of radicullar cyst invading maxillary sinus. METHODS: Two cases of 23 and 34-year-old men presented with facial injury and sinusitis was explored by CT scan. RESULTS: CT scan showed in both patients a cystic lesion, developing into the maxillary sinus around a tooth apex and limits by a double dense thin rim. CONCLUSION: CT scan permits diagnosis of radicular cyst invading maxillary sinus, in the event of obscured maxillary sinus, when double dense thin rim corresponding to the repulsed wall of the sinus is looking.

The authors report the case of a 40 year old patient with history of cauda equina syndrome and pyramidal signs due to intramedullary rupture of a congenital dermoid cyst of the conus without associated spinal dysraphism. Diagnosis was suggested at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and confirmed by histological examination and percutaneous aspiration of the intramedullary cavity.
