Reversible posterior leukonecephalopathy syndrome RPLS), a neurologie disorder associated with evidence of posterior cerebral edema on neuroimaging studies, has been described in both adults and children. Conditions predisposing to RPLS include malignant hypertension, renal dysfunction, toxemia of pregnancy, interferon therapy, and the use of immunosuppressive agents. When associated with acute hypertension, RPLS typically occurs concurrently with the fulminant clinical syndrome of hypertensive encephalopathy We describe occipital lobe seizures, in the setting of only moderate elevations of blood pressure, as the major clinical manifestation of RPLS.

Benign chondroblastoma of bone is a relatively rare primary bone tumor which develops in the 2nd to 3rd decade involving the epiphysis of the long bone. The over-all reported cases of the world have been lesser than 400 after determining the entity as benign chondroblastoma in 1942 by Jaffe and Lichtenstein. A case of the benign chondroblastoma with involvement of the greater trochanter of the femur of a 19 years old boy is presented. The conclusive diagaosis was led by histological examination. Considerable new bone formation and bony spicules which might be derived from previous multiple puncture made us to confuse with osteogenic sarcoma. The specimen was composed of reddish brown hemorrhagic and fragile tissue with scattered either yellowish gritty calcified material or bluish translucent ones. The postoperative course has been smooth and there has been no evidence of recurrence for postoperative 15 months.

Arteriovenous mafformation(AVM) of female pelvic organ is a rare disease of unknown cause. The authors' report a case of pelvic AVM which was incidentally found during US examination of the patient with choriocarcinoma after chemotherapy. The real-time sonography revealed several cystic lesions around the uterus with adjacent dilated tortuous vessels. The color Doppler sonography depicted abundant blood flow mixed with red and blue colors within the cystic lesions and rapid turbulent systolic and diastolic flows. CT showed well-enhancing round vascular lesions with elongated vessels in the pelvis, and MRI depicted signal-void cystic lesions on both T1 and T2 weighted images with small portions of high intensity within the lesions on T2 weighted image. The angiography revealed pelvic AVM fed by tortuous uterine and vaginal arteries with a dilated draining vein
