Abstract The chronic subdural hematoma is a common pathology in elderly patients. There is usually a history of head trauma. The diagnosis of chronic subdural hematomas in young patients is very rare and few cases have been reported in the literature. The authors present a case of a patient of 16 years old who presented headache of two months of evolution, which was conducted by tomography diagnosis of chronic subdural hematoma. The patient had no history of mild trauma. Surgical management was performed, showing a satisfactory evolution.

Abstract The authors report an unusual intradural subpial lipoma of the cervical spinal cord in a neurologically intact adolescent. The patient sought treatment for neck pain and had a history of previous trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the lesion. There are no reported cases of a subpial lipoma detected in the absence of any neurological deficits. A subtotal excision was performed, and pathological studies confirmed the diagnosis. Postoperatively, the patient remained neurologically intact.

We report a case of celiac crisis in a previously healthy 51-year-old female presenting with a month’s history of diarrhea, cachexia and an abnormal metabolic panel.The patient’s diarrhea resolved after initiation of a gluten free diet and she gained 4 kilograms during hospitalization. Celiac crisis is a very rare presentation of celiac disease in adults but nonetheless should be considered in patients with marked metabolic derangements in the setting of osmotic diarrhea.

<p class="abstract">Osteonecrosis of the femoral head, can be secondary to various causes, which can be traumatic or atraumatic. The corticosteroid used is a common cause of non-traumatic osteonecrosis. Various viral infections have been documented to cause osteonecrosis, none of the studies report COVID-19. 23-year-old gentleman diagnosed with COVID-19. He received steroid injections as a part of treatment. Nearly after two months, he was diagnosed to have stage II osteonecrosis of both femoral heads. The cumulative dose of steroid given to the patient was not enough to consider diagnosis of steroid associated osteonecrosis of femoral heads. The combination hypercoagulability, inflammation of blood vessels, and leukocyte/platelet aggregation associated with COVID-19 might have contributed to the development of osteonecrosis in this case. So, it is also important to consider osteonecrosis as an important differential if a patient with past history of COVID-19 come with hip pain.</p>

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.

Introduction: The umbilical vein can become recanalised due to portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis but the condition is rarely clinically significant. Although bleeding from this enlarged vein is a known complication, the finding of thrombophlebitis has not been previously described. Case report: We report the case of a 62-year-old male with a history of liver cirrhosis due to alcoholic liver disease presenting to hospital with epigastric pain. A CT scan of the patient’s abdomen revealed a thrombus with surrounding inflammatory changes in a recanalised umbilical vein. The patient was managed conservatively and was discharged home the following day. Conclusion: Thrombophlebitis of a recanalised umbilical vein is a rare cause of abdominal pain in patients with liver cirrhosis.
