HighlightsSpontaneous epidural hematoma of the spine (SEHS) is an extremely rare entity.Early diagnosis and treatment showed to have the best outcome.SESH should be suspected in every acute medullary syndrome with spinal pain, motor and/or sensory deficit.

Inferior dislocation is a rare type of hip dislocation, especially in adults. Few cases have been reported; most of them were isolated. This is the case of a traumatic adult hip dislocation after a road traffic accident. Reduction was made under general anaesthesia; a CT-Scan after the reduction showed a bifocal non-displaced hip fracture. In this article, we present a small review of the literature and we discuss the possible mechanism of hip dislocation. We found through our case study that this condition is not exclusive to children and CT-Scan is mandatory after the reduction of hip dislocation to eliminate any associated injury. To our knowledge, a bifocal hip fracture has not previously been documented, in the English language literature.

Background Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the most prevalent peripheral nerve entrapment disease. Its pathophysiology is multifactorial and defined as idiopathic in most cases. We present a rare case of CTS secondary to tumoral calcinosis and then searched the English literature to present the details of all published cases with this entity. Case presentation. A 52-year-old woman presented for a one-year history of numbness and paresthesia in her right hand. The patient’s signs, symptoms, physical examination, and nerve electrodiagnostic testing suggested median nerve compression at the level of the carpal tunnel. However, a confirmatory magnetic resonance imaging of the wrist showed a localized calcareous lesion in the carpal tunnel. Subsequently, carpal tunnel release and mass excision were successfully performed with no recurrence at a 3-month interval. Conclusion CTS secondary to tumoral calcinosis is a rare benign condition. Physicians should remain vigilant and include it in their differential diagnosis when facing a previously healthy patient presenting for chronic CTS symptoms.
