Clinical Signs And Symptoms

Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a radiographic finding which refers to the presence of gas within the wall of any part of the gastrointestinal tract. While in some cases it is an incidental finding which usually represent its benign nonischemic etiology, it may indicate a catastrophic intra-abdominal condition and distinctly characteristic of ischemic enterocolitis. Herein, we discuss the clinical signs and symptoms, the radiological features, the surgical management and outcome of an extremely rare concurrent triad of PI, gastric outlet obstruction, and the sigmoid volvulus based on a case of a patient who underwent surgery in our hospital, which, we think, can emphasize the mysterious concept of PI’s mechanical etiology.

Extrahepatic Mucinous Biliary Cystadenoma is an extremely rare clinical entity which can present with varieties of vague clinical signs and symptoms. Gastric outlet obstruction caused due to this has never been reported before. We highlighted the diagnostic dilemma we faced, when radiological investigations couldnot suggest the accurate organ of origin.

A Prospective Study

Background: Pancreatic pseudocysts can be defined as localized fluid collections that have a nonepithelialized wall consisting of fibrous and granulation tissue. These pseudocysts usually appear several weeks after the onset of pancreatitis. Advancement in the management of pseudocyst with laparoscopic drainage provides a good alternative or supplement to the surgical treatment of pancreatic pseudocyst. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness and outcome of Laparoscopic drainage.Methods: It was a prospective interventional hospital based study carried out among 32 indoor cases of pancreatic pseudocysts operated using laparoscopic procedures admitted under department of general surgery in a tertiary healthcare teaching institute during study period. Cases of pancreatic pseudocysts were evaluated with detailed history, clinical signs and symptoms, the duration and investigations. Details of laparoscopic, its indications, peculiarities, complications rates, recurrence rate and outcome was analyzed.Results: Single and multiple pancreatic pseudocysts were found in 26 (81.25%) and 6 (18.75%) patients and the most common site was found to be body of pancreas (59.37%). Obstructive jaundice (18.50%) and gastric outlet obstruction (15.63%) were the most common complications seen. The common procedures undertaken in the studied cases were laparoscopic cystogastrostomy (65.62%) followed by laparoscopic cystojejunostomy (12.50%) and laparoscopic external drainage (12.50%). Common complications in studied cases were found to be pain (15.65%), fever (12.5%) and external fistula (6.25%).Conclusions: Laparoscopic technique for treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts is safe, efficacious, feasible and is associated with fast recovery. These techniques should be preferred over open surgical drainage.

Clinical Signs And Symptoms

Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia (PASH) of the breast is a rare condition that consists of the proliferation of the breast myofibroblastic stromal cells, lining anastomosing vascular slit-like spaces. This condition is not considered a pre-malignant lesion and affects mainly premenopausal women. Its etiology is still uncertain, but its behavior points to a hormonal cause. It has a varied clinical presentation and can be diagnosed as an incidental finding of biopsies or with the manifestation of clinical signs and symptoms. As for the diagnosis, it can be performed with the correlation between clinical data, imaging and histopathological analysis. Due to its rare nature, there are still no prospective studies regarding treatment, but, in most cases, clinical and radiological follow-up is a safe strategy. The aim of this paper is to synthesize the data available in the literature about this condition, which, although benign in nature, can bring important aesthetic, musculoskeletal and psychological repercussions.

Encapsulating Peritonitis

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a rare disorder that is characterized by encapsulation of bowel loops by thick fibrinogenous case. Most patients present with vague abdominal symptoms. It is challenging to diagnose the condition preoperatively. Surgical management is preserved for patients with small bowel obstruction with no improvement on conservative measures or for those with signs of bowel ischemia (Li et al., 2014; Habib et al. 2011). Herein, we discuss the clinical signs and symptoms, the radiological features, the surgical management, and outcome of SEP based on a patient who underwent surgery in our hospital.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the demographic characteristics of patients with central giant cell granulomas (CGCGs) and peripheral giant cell granulomas (PGCGs) in Iranian population.Methods: The data were obtained from records of 1019 patients with CGCG and PGCG of the jaws referred to our department between 1972 and 2010. This 38-year retrospective study was based on existing data. Information regarding age distribution, gender, location of the lesion and clinical signs and symptoms was documented. Results: A total of 1019 patients were affected GCGLs including 435 CGCGs and 584 PGCGs during the study. The mean age was 28.91 ± 18.16. PGCGs and CGCGs had a peak of occurrence in the first and second decade of life respectively. A female predominance was shown in CGCG cases (57.70%), whereas PGCGs were more frequent in males (50.85%). Five hundred and ninety-eight cases of all giant cell lesions (58.7 %) occurred in the mandible. Posterior mandible was the most frequent site for both CGCG and PGCG cases. The second most common site for PGCG was posterior maxilla (21%), whereas anterior mandible was involved in CGCG (19.45%). The majority of patients were asymptomatic. Conclusions: In contrast to most of previous studies PGCGs occur more common in the first decade and also more frequently in male patients. Although the CGCGs share some histopathologic similarities with PGCGs, differences in demographic features may be observed in different populations which may help in the diagnosis and management of these lesions.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(2) 2016 p.220-223
