Case 1

Male patient, 8 years old, with a history of a brain tumor. The mother, a poor historian, provides unclear information, making it impossible to identify the tumor type. The brain imaging shows a large lesion. What do you think the diagnosis and tumor type could be?

Case 2

Sometimes I reflect on how many things I gave up since I started studying neurology.... I used to enjoy wine on weekends (not anymore, ICAD), I loved going on camping (nop... neuroborreliosis and WNV out there, not worth it), I used to swim on ponds (nop...naegleria fowleri lives out there).... Life is short. Eat healthy, and enjoy what we have! #loveneurology
