Intramedullary Cysticercosis without Neurological Deficit Dear Sir, Ranjan et  al. presented an interesting case with “Intramedullary Cysticercosis (ICC) without Neurological Deficit.”[1] Ranjan et  al. mentioned that “to best of our knowledge, this is the first case of ICC without neurological involvement.”[1] We agree that the case is rare, but we do not agree with this conclusion, and the problem might be due to a good literature review. We would like to take the note that there are already some publications on ICC without neurological complication. At least, Parmar et al. reported two cases of ICC without neurological complication.[2] It is no doubt that the silent asymptomatic CC is possible and usually missed underdiagnosed.

Primary Intracranial Extraosseous CNS Ewing's Sarcoma: A Distinct Entity Dear Sir, Ewing’s sarcoma  (EWS)/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor  (pPNET) is an aggressive malignant small round blue cell neoplasm that frequently manifests in the second decade of life, 396

accounting for 4% of childhood and adolescent malignancies.[1] Primary extraosseous EWS of the central nervous system (CNS‑EES) is an extremely uncommon entity with only a handful of cases reported till date. CNS‑EES is histologically similar to central PNET
