In genetically susceptible individuals, gluten ingestion triggers and immune infiltration and bowel damage in the classical pattern of coeliac disease, with variable symptoms. Intussusception is a condition where one segment of intestine ‘telescopes’ inside of another portion of intestine, which may cause symptoms of abdominal pain due to obstruction. Intussusception has been associated with coeliac disease. We report a 4-year-old girl presented with recurrent abdominal pain of variable severity and found to have intussusception on two occasions, which on both occasions reduced spontaneously during ultrasound examinations. She was later diagnosed with coeliac disease. This case highlights the importance of considering coeliac screening in patients with a history of recurrent abdominal pain and intussusception.

Ovarian Vein Thrombosis

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare medical disorder, which is most often found in the immediate postpartum period. OVT is rarely considered idiopathic. We report a case of idiopathic OVT with pulmonary embolism in a 33-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic OVT. To date, only 12 cases of idiopathic OVT have been reported. In this case report, we present a summary of these cases and a review of literature regarding management of idiopathic OVT.

COVID-19 Associated Mucormycosis (CAM) is an emerging infectious disease that has caused increased mortality & morbidity in India during this second wave of the pandemic. The country has reported more than 30,000 cases and over 2,000 deaths by Mucormycosis so far, according to sources from Union Health Ministry. CAM is now a notifiable disease. At our Tertiary care teaching hospital, which caters for COVID 19 management, we are reporting the first case of Rhino orbital CAM, which was caused by Rhizopus spp. Our patient had a history of contact with a suspected COVID 19 patient and was recently diagnosed with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. A direct KOH microscopic examination of purulent material aspirated from the sinonasal polyp of the patient revealed fungal elements, and Rhizopus spp was isolated. Due to a shortage of Amphotericin B, the patient was referred to a government higher speciality centre for further management. The patient was followed up & was noted that he was treated with antifungal and discharged following recovery.

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical condition defined as extensive intraperitoneal spread of mucus associated with a variety of mucinous tumors. Although appendix has usually been implicated as the primary site, some reports found no cause. This case also describes a PMP with no identifiable primary site. A 52-year-old male presented with an abdominal distension evolving for 3 months associated with diffuse abdominal pain, imaging techniques objective intra peritoneal mucoid materials with septated ascites but it failed to identify the primary site. Exploratory laparotomy with Biopsy confirmed PMP but also failed to found the original site.

Recent advances in flexible fiberoptic endoscopy have permitted direct visualization of segments of the gastrointestinal tract hitherto considered inaccessible. Preoperative diagnoses of diseases of these areas are subject to the vagaries of roentgen interpretation. The following case report illustrates the value of the colonoscope in distinguishing intralumenal ileal neoplastic disease from an inflammatory process (e.g., ileitis, appendiceal abscess). CASE REPORT W. M., a 15-year-old white youth, was referred for eveluation of intermittent lower abdominal pain of six weeks' duration. Prior to his admission, he experienced cramping abdominal pain, fever, cough, emesis, and diarrhea. This gradually abated, leaving a residuum of recurrent abdominal pain which was relieved partially with fiexion of the right thigh.

Bronchogenic Cysts

Bronchogenic cysts are congenital lesions developing during early embryogenesis. The intradiaphragmatic location is extremely rare. We present a giant bronchogenic cyst arising from the left crus of diaphragm. Based on our literature review results, intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts have the following characteristics: 1) they are more common in female patients; 2) the patients are usually asymptomatic, or present with symptoms of chest pain, abdominal pain, and hiccups; 3) the cysts located in the left diaphragm are more than those in the right diaphragm, most of which are located in the area of the left diaphragm crus.

High Index Of Suspicion

An elderly patient presented with prolonged fever, gross weight loss, recurrent haemoptysis and abdominal pain. He had a background history of adrenal tuberculosis with completion of treatment without any obvious improvement. Clinically he was diagnosed as a case of adrenocotical insufficiency. Evaluation including histopathology revealed the diagnosis as disseminated histoplasmosis involving adrenal gland and lungs. The disease is a rarity without any underneath immunosuppression and hence high index of suspicion with appropriate steps for investigation is the key to achieve a diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis in Bangladesh.
