Life Threatening Complication

Bilateral vocal cord palsy is a rare but life threatening complication of lithium battery ingestion in children. This complication is mostly missed by otorhinolaryngologists due to lack of awareness on the cited subject. We present one such rare case in an infant, where the clinical presentation was found to be unique but hitherto unreported in the medical literature. This clinical record discusses this case in light of the scant current medical literature on the subject and highlights the importance of cautious monitoring of patients presenting with signs of respiratory distress after lithium battery removal.

Diagnosis And Management

The thorax is the rarest place among all forms of renal ectopia. We report a rare case of an unacquired thoracic kidney. Only about 200 cases of the thoracic kidney have ever been reported in medical literature worldwide. In this paper we present the rarest form of nontraumatic nonhernia associated, truly ectopic thoracic kidney. The differential diagnosis and management options and classification of this rare form of aberrant kidney are discussed.

Pertusis affects all the age groups but is most severe in neonates and early infancy and may even cause mortality. Clinical presentation of neonatal pertusis is varied and thus knowing the spectrum of clinical presentation is vital for early diagnosis. Unlike older children, most of the times neonatal pertusis has an atypical presentation and classical presentation is very rare. Here we present such a rare case of neonatal pertusis who presented with classical symptoms of pertusis.

Compound Odontoma

Odontomas can be detected as complex or compound variants and they rarely show the histologic characteristics of both types together. The tumor commonly associated with malocclusion, eruption disturbances and pathological anomalies, but they seldom cause bony expansion. Early detection and management of odontoma with multidisciplinary approach pose an important role to prevent disturbances associated with this common odontogenic tumor. Here we report a rare case of an odontoma which show the features of both complex and compound types and also cause bony expansion, eruption failure in an 8-year-old boy.

The Past

Abstract Acromegaly is an uncommon clinical syndrome that results from excessive secretion of growth hormone with an annual incidence of 6 to 8 cases per 1 million of individuals with a mean age of diagnosis between 40-45 years. Pituitary adenomas can be the principal reason for an overgrowth of the anterior pituitary somatotroph cells, and account for approximately one-third of all hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas with a prevalence of about 38-69 cases per 1 million and an incidence of 3-4 cases per 1 million individuals. The onset of acromegaly is insidious, and its progression is usually very slow. At the moment of diagnosis, approximately 75% of patients have presence of macro adenomas, but most cases are diagnosed after several laboratory workups and incidental brain imaging. A characteristic clinical presentation of pituitary adenomas could be secondary to mass effect. Metabolic presentation such as diabetes is one of the most common related conditions preceding the diagnosis of acromegaly. Clinical presentation with abrupt onset of DKA could be a determining factor on disease progression due to higher GH levels correlating with an increased prevalence of insulin resistance. We present a rare case of a 28y/o female G5P3A2 without previous PMHx who presented to ER with abdominal pain, general malaise, slurred speech, headache and gait difficulty of 3 days of evolution. Upon initial evaluation at ER patient was found with hyperglycemia of 317mg/dL, low central bicarbonate, high anion gap and positive serum ketones suggestive of DKA de novo. Based on neurological complaints, head CT performed showed an incidental parasellar/suprasellar/temporal hyperdense mass measuring 2.5cm x 2.6cm with optic chiasm compression features. Upon further specific questioning patient referred amenorrhea for the past 3 years, bitemporal hemianopsia, galactorrhea and marked facial feature changes, frontal bossing, weight gain, and acanthosis nigricans, for the past year. Pituitary adenoma workup revealed low prolactin levels (1.38), markedly increased growth hormone (501) and IGF-1 (893) suggesting diagnosis of acromegaly, most likely secondary to a functioning macroadenoma. Patient initially treated with Cabergoline, uncontrolled diabetes was managed and was referred to Neurosurgery service for further evaluation and tumor removal. Based on current literature, the incidence of acromegaly cases is low, more specifically when presenting with new onset diabetic ketoacidosis, insulin resistance and secondary to functioning macroadenomas. Medical awareness should be promoted to assess for careful consideration of signs and symptoms, workup, management and treatment to assess and minimize further health complications and physical burdens acromegaly and pituitary adenomas could pose for affected individuals.

Inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT) is a rare benign solid tumor in adults and children. The prevalence, etiology and pathogenesis of this condition are still uncertain. Despite the use of modern laboratory techniques and imaging, it is often difficult to make the diagnosis of IPT. Besides, occasionally the nonspecific morphological appearance and clinical presentation of the mass may mimic other more common primary or secondary neoplasms. IPT is commonly encountered in the lung and mediastinum. Other sites include abdomen (liver, pancreas, stomach, omentum), retroperitoneum, pelvis (bladder) and extremities in children. We report a rare case of gastric inflammatory pseudotumour in a 65-year-old female patient. Clinical presentations and its management along with review of literatures are presented.

Objective and Importance. To illustrate the development of a rare case of spontaneous subdural hematoma (SDH)  secondary to aplastic anemia and conservative treatment of SDH. Clinical Presentation. A 43-year-old male complained of severe progressive headaches that starting from one month ago. His laboratory values showed pancytopenia and his peripheral blood smear showed no abnormalities except lack of the number of erythrocytes, leukocyte, and thrombocyte and we could not find any malignancy in the smear. He experienced headache,  disorder of balance and decrease of consciousness  CT imaging of the head showed  a 7.0 cm (2 cm thickness) left frontal-parietal subdural hematoma. Conclusion. Aplastic anemia is a rare case with manifested of subdural hematoma.

AbstractMesentric fibromatosis is a proliferative fibroblastic neoplasm of the small intestinal mesentery with varied clinical presentation. Giant mesentric fibromatosis is uncommon and its rarity poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. This paper presents a recurrent aggressive fibromatosis in a 38 year old male patient, who had initially undergone a laparotomy outside for mass abdomen but only pus was evacuated and definitive diagnosis was not made.
