Rare Symptom

Hematocolpos is an obstruction of the menstrual flow due to an anomaly of the genital tract, with imperforate hymen being the most common one. It is an uncommon condition, with a prevalence of 1:1000 – 1:16 000. It is usually an asymptomatic condition until the onset of menarche, when there is accumulation of blood in the vagina (hematocolpos) or in the uterus (hematometra). A rare symptom of hematocolpos could be urinary retention. Our case report is about a 12-year-old girl, with no menarche and Tanner stage M4/P5, who was admitted to our emergency department with abdominal pain and urinary retention. A brief review of this rare condition is presented, in order to remind clinicians about its existence, so that it can be diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible.

Rare Symptom

Since several years ago the relation between art and mental disorders has been interesting for psychiatrists. This relation has more importance when understanding famous painters such as Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Louis Wain have had such disorders.Psychotic patients may project their symptoms into their drawings and use paintings as a way to illustrate their special feelings and thoughts. Without them understanding patient’s world and their symptoms is impossible.When hallucinations are too amazing to believe and more persecutor than any pain, and when thoughts are so dispersed which other cannot understand and nevertheless, there is no treatment for these boring symptoms, art and specially painting may be a way to relief them.Lilliputian hallucination is a rare symptom in psychotic patients; a visual type hallucination that things and persons appears smaller than the real size. Patients usually describe them as the persecutor dwarfs or life from another world.Here we introduce a schizophrenic patient with Lilliputian hallucination who created famous paintings. In these paintings, patient was drawn dwarfs in nearly one inch. They are creatures between man and mouse, sometimes whisper and occasionally walk on his head or body.

Rare Symptom

Inability to dress oneself is a rare symptom in focal brain lesions. We have observed it in two cases, a tumour expanding between the cerebral hemispheres, and a case of head injury in which the mental condition was sufficiently intact to allow a detailed analysis: In discussing the imperception phenomena of the tumour case, we have referred to certain others of relevant interest.

Rare Symptom

An allergy to honey is a rare symptom. It usually occurs when people are allergic to food components, pollen and bee venom. Most often an allergy to honey is manifested by disturbances of skin and digestive system. Anaphylaxis is seldom, pollen proteins are more often the cause of an allergy to honey than honeybee ones. In particular cases an allergy can be caused by moulds, yeasts and secretion of sapsucking insects. An allergy to honey is often caused by pollen of floral plants from Compositae family (e.g.: sunflower, mugwort, marguerite, dandelion, golden rod, ragweed). It is caused more rarely by grass pollen (timothy) and trees (birch, hazel, olive). The cross allergy between two kinds of pollen of the same family (dandelion and sunflower) and between pollen of different families (sunflower and celery) is well-known. On this basis one can consider that the allergy to one monofloral honey can cause the allergy to other monoflower ones.

Rare Symptom

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease which may involve several organs or organ systems. SLE may also have hematological as well as joint, kidney, and central nervous system involvements. Hematological abnormalities such as anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia are the best-known and most common hematological findings detected in SLE patients which are included in the classification criteria for SLE.  Autoimmune myelofibrosis (AIMF) refers to bone marrow (BM) fibrosis (myelofibrosis) that develops in an autoimmune setting. Myelofibrosis is not among the SLE classification criteria and it is also not well-known. Current reports in the literature on SLE-associated AIMF are mostly restricted to case reports or reviews of such case reports. The occurrence of BM fibrosis in SLE patients has been explored merely in few studies which concluded that myelofibrosis is a rare symptom of SLE. Herein, we propose the hypothesis that SLE-associated AIMF is not rare and, on the contrary, it can indeed be more frequent than what is known or expected.

Rare Symptom

Hypernasality which is rare symptom commonly occur as a consequence of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). VPI usually manifested as nasal air emission and hypernasal resonance during speech. The cause can be divided into congenital, neuromuscular disorder and surgical complication. Congenital cause of VPI includes cleft palate, nasal septum malformation such as vomer agenesis, submucous cleft palate and velar dysplasia, while neuromuscular VPI can be due to cerebral palsy or cerebrovascular accident. Surgical cause of VPI could be due to adenoidectomy and scarring of the velum post palatoplasty in cleft palate repair. We present a 17-year-old man who was diagnosed of congenital left nasolacrimal duct obstruction referred to us for left endoscopic dacrocystorhinostomyin which during nasoendoscopic examination revealed absence of vomer.

Background:The aim of this study is to highlight anosmia as an important symptom to predict SARS-CoV-2 infection. The presentation of the disease commonly includes fever, cough, weakness, myalgia and breathlessness making anosmia a rare symptom. Methods:We included a total of 10 patients in the study who were between the age group of 18-70 years with the complaints of anosmia. Results:8 out of the 10 patients had come with fever and cough initially and developed anosmia later. However, 2 patients had presented to us with anosmia alone as the first symptom and then on further evaluation were found to be COVID-19 positive. The available clinical data was collected, recorded and the results were analyzed. Conclusion:Anosmia is a rare or late, but contributory symptom of the coronavirus disease. Thus, clinicians should keep in mind the diagnosis of COVID-19 while treating patients presenting with such atypical symptoms for early detection & in-time treatment of COVID 19 infection to prevent complications associated with the disease.
