Gastrointestinal manifestations of NF-1 are seldom thought of in routine clinical practice and might thus be significantly under-recognised. Their heterogeneous spectrum ranges from localised microscopic proliferative lesions to grossly recognizable mass-forming neurofibromas, neuroendocrine and gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST). The aim of this study is discussing the imaging evaluation and characterisation of the abdomen lesions in patients with NF1. Teaching Points • Neurofibromatosis type (NF-1) is one of the most common single gene disorders. • Every organ system can be involved and intra-abdominal manifestations are underestimated. • The NF1 abdominal manifestations comprehend five categories of tumours. • Neurogenic tumours including with neurofibromas are the most common type. • Early diagnosis of abdominal manifestations of NF-1 based on imaging patterns is necessary for appropriate treatment to avoid serious organic complications related to tumour mass.

Localization in the retroperitoneal area is rare. Case Report: We report a case of a 19-year-old male presented to our department complaining of right abdominal pain. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed a large retroperitoneal mass of 17 cm in diameter. The patient had an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of the mass and histopathology and immunohistochemistry revealed a schwannoma. Tumor excision was performed through lumbotomy. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of benign schwannoma. After three years, at follow-up the patient was free of disease. Conclusion: Retroperitoneal schwannoma is a difficult clinical diagnosis and requires a high index of suspicion. Magnetic resonance imaging scan may help in the diagnosis of schwannoma and diagnosis is based on histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry. Total excision has a therapeutic effect and a good prognosis.

Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. IJCRI publishes Review Articles, Case Series, Case Reports, Case in Images, Clinical Images and Letters to Editor.

Its treatment involves surgery and prolonged antibiotics courses. Objectives: The current study aimed at describing the clinical characteristics of children with BA, treated at the central Tunisian region health center. Methods: A retrospective study, lasting 19 years (1995 to 2014), was conducted in four Tunisia pediatric departments of the central region. Forty-one children having radiological abnormalities suggestive of BA and confirmed operative lesions were included. Mycobacterial, parasitic or fungal abscesses were excluded. Medical records were analyzed for age, gender, presenting symptoms, predisposing factors, imaging, microbiology findings, treatment, and outcome. Results: The mean age was 4.9 years (range: 4 days to 16 years). The most common clinical presentations were increased intracranial pressure symptoms (87%). Brain Abscess was diagnosed in 95.1% on the basis of cranial imaging. The majority of abscesses were supratentorial (92.6%). The most frequent etiology was contiguous infections of the skull (63.4%). No predisposing factor was found in 17%. Intravenous antibiotics were given in all cases with surgical drainage in 63.4%, causative organisms were identified in 53.7%; gram positive cocci in 21.9%, and gram negative cocci in 9.7%. The mortality rate was 24.3%. Age of less than two years was the only statistically significant identified prognostic factor. Conclusions: The current study confirmed the severity of this pathology and underlined the importance of early diagnosis and management.
