The coexisting presence of hydatid disease with aspergillus colonization is a rare finding. The 20-year-old presented with symptoms of hemoptysis with past history of tuberculosis. On further evaluation, the patient was diagnosed as a case of aspergilloma and managed conservatively. After one year of presenting with similar complaints, the patient was turned out to be hydatid disease with aspergillus colonization on the basis of clinic-radiological and bronchoscopic evaluation. Till now only a few case reports have been reported. We report a unique case report of a similar presentation.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis are considered at risk of non-tuberculous mycobacterial lung disease especially those on inhaled corticosteroids. We described a case of a 69-year-old male, Ex. a heavy smoker with past history of pulmonary tuberculosis, COPD with diffuse centro lobular emphysema; status post left thoracotomy for hydropneumothorax, left-sided bullectomy done 8 months back. Patient admitted in our hospital " King Fahad General Hospital, Jeddah " with a history of chronic productive cough with an increased SOB, on/ off fever, night sweats and loss of weight in the last 3 months. No hemoptysis. On examination, he was conscious, oriented, afebrile, positive clubbing. Vitally stable. Chest examination showed a scare of left thoracotomy clean with small chest wall bulge; decreased breath sounds with bilateral ronchi and dullness in the left lower chest. Laboratory investigations showed hyperleukocytosis of 14.6 and serology for HIV was negative. CT scan chest showed left lobulated pleural effusion with empyema necessities, a diffuse emphysematous lung disease with bilateral thick wall cavities and pulmonary nodules as well as left bronchiectasis changes with underlying consolidation collapse. US-guided left pleural aspiration done showed exudative polymorph inflammation. Pleural fluid AFB and PCR was negative and two samples of AFB sputum were positive (2+), PCR was negative, 2 Bactec cultures were positives with the rapid growth of MOTT. Mycobacterial Avium Complex has been identified (Mayoclinic lab. in USA) which is sensitive to Rifampicin*, Clarithromycin* and Ethambutol* but resistant to Moxifloxacin and to Linozelid*. Patient treated with a combination of Rifampicin + Ethambutol* +Clarithromycin* for 18 months with clinical and radiologic improvement and good tolerance. This Study is a "case report study" aimed to report a very rare case, to report a new case of MOTT in Saudi Arabia for the purpose of statistics and for scientific benefit.

Introduction: Gossypiboma or textiloma is the technical term used to describe a surgical complication related to accidental retention of surgical material within the body, most often surgical swabs. Since it is rare in orthopedic surgery, its diagnostis is less common and often initially mistaken with soft-tissue tumors. The aim of this study is to point out the importance of this differential diagnosis in the event of clinical swelling or accidental intraoperative finding associated with previous surgery. Case Report: Female patient presenting with 3 weeks hip pain and inflammatory signs, with a past history of a total hip arthroplasty 15 years before. Analytically presented C-reactive protein CRP of 13.67 mg/dl. Ultrasound and computed tomography CT scan revealed a solid lesion in the anterior thigh root and a liquid lesion in the lateral region of the hip. Discussion: Gossypibomas can be classified into two types: The aseptic fibrous type, which produces adhesions and a fibrotic capsule, and the exudative type, which is characterized by abscess formation. This case report refers to an aseptic fibrous type, given an asymptomatic evolution over 15 years and histopathological findings. However, this diagnosis occurred following a periprosthetic hip infection. Keywords: Gossypiboma, muslinoma, textiloma, total hip arthroplasty.

AbstractBackground:Bilateral, spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea is extremely rare, with only one previous case report (this patient developed contralateral cerebrospinal fluid leakage four years after successful endoscopic repair). We present the first English-language report of simultaneous, bilateral, spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea.Objective:To recommend a simple alternative endoscopic technique for simultaneous closure of bilateral, spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea.Case report:A 47-year-old woman presented with recent onset of bilateral, spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea, a recent history suggestive of meningitis, and a past history of pneumococcal meningitis. Bony defects on both sides of the cribriform plate were closed endoscopically in the same anaesthetic session, via a uninasal, trans-septal approach, enabling both leakage sites to be sealed simultaneously.Conclusion:In cases of bilateral, spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea, uninasal, trans-septal endoscopic repair is a simple and effective technique for simultaneous closure of cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

Migraine affects many women in their childbearing years and gets worse during pregnancy, probably due to fluctuations in reproductive hormones. Similar changes in maternal physiology due to pregnancy increase the susceptibility toward secondary headache disorders and can cause the return of migraines in the postpartum period. Increased occurrence of headaches is also associated with the administration of epidural anesthesia, which decreases cerebrospinal fluid pressure. However, the less common causes such as secondary headache disorders related to cerebrovascular disorders and hypertension should be considered for differential diagnosis in this group of patients. In this case report, we discuss the case history of a 36-year-old woman, with a past history of migraine without aura, who presented at 1 week postpartum with headache, confusion, dizziness, right-sided weakness, and urinary incontinence. Brain imaging studies revealed global hypoxic ischemic injury to the brain. This case report discusses her presentation, investigations, management, and etiology of migraine, leading to stroke and death postpartum.
