Case report
Orbital Extramedullary Plasmacytoma: Case report and literature review
Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare disease, characterized histopathologically by infiltration of plasma cells of different maturities and producing monoclonal immunoglobulin outside the bone marrow. J.R.G., 52 years old, male, sought medical assistance due to amaurosis and blocked eye movements. We performed Magnetic Nuclear Resonance of the skull that showed discrete intermediate signal tissue, next to the optic nerve canal and homolateral superior orbital fissure, with slight extension to the lower orbital fissure, associated with thickening of the corresponding meninges, involving the proximal portion of the optic nerve, measuring 1.3 x 1.1 x 2.5 cm. Non-specific aspect, but suggestive of lymphoproliferative lesion. Right and extraorbital tumor excision was performed, in which it was not possible to completely resect the tumor.

Case report
Pseudomeninocele after Laminectomy: Case report and literature review
Pseudomeningoceles are rare complications of laminectomy surgery. Such clinical condition results from an inadvertent surgical dural rupture. We describe in the present study the report of a patient who developed iatrogenic pseudomeningocele in the lumbar region after performing a left laminectomy in L5 topography. After the neurological assessment of the patient, bilateral hypoaesthesia was observed, in addition to a floating bulging in the lumbar region that was accentuated during the valsalva maneuver, with the hypothesis of a pseudomeningocele.
