Emphysematous Cholecystitis

Introduction Emphysematous cholecystitis is a rare gallbladder pathology characterized by gas accumulation in the gallbladder wall as a result of severe inflammation, mostly caused by bacteria known as Clostridium species. Case report This is a case report of a 59 year-old male diabetic, with typical anamnestic, clinical, ultrasonographic and radiological findings, pointing to acute cholecystitis of emphysematous form. Surgical and bacteriological procedures confirmed the preoperative findings. Conclusion Reliable findings considering clinical status, ultrasonographic and radiological differential diagnosis, adequate and quick preoperative preparation, cholecystectomy and drainage with appropriate antibiotic treatment and hyperbaric oxygenation, represent the basic principles in diagnostics and treatment of this disease.

First Year Of Life

Left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia (LPFVT) is extremely rare in neonates. We described a 17-day-old girl with LPFVT who was initially misdiagnosed as supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Eventually, she was successfully treated by amiodarone infusion followed by oral amiodarone with propranolol for 9 months, and LPFVT spontaneously resolved after a 1-year follow-up. This case report illustrated the basic principles and caveats in differential diagnosis of LPFVT in the neonatal age group. With proper diagnosis and therapy, neonatal LPFVT might regress in the first year of life.

The presence of prominent physiological fluid in the posterior part of the superior pericardial recess is known as "high-riding pericardial recess" (HRPR). Even in series studies with high numbers, the amount of liquid in this area was measured with a maximum 1,4 cm in size. Our case report is the biggest HRPR in diameter. HRPRs have clinical significance since they are in the differential diagnosis with lymph nodes and mediastinal cysts. We present a 57-year-old patient with clinical and radiological findings.

Abstract Background Persistent structural changes of the lungs in anorexia nervosa (AN) patients are rarely described in contemporary medical literature. The objective of our paper is to report a rare case of severe bronchiectasis and inflammatory changes to the lungs resulting from chronic malnutrition in a AN patient. Case presentation We describe a patient with severe inflammatory lung disease caused by malnutrition, resulting in persistent bronchiectasis accompanying AN. We performed an analysis of the patient’s medical records including radiological findings and laboratory results. A review of available literature shows very little data available on this topic. Conclusion Bronchiectasis and other structural changes of the lungs are rare, but severe complications of severe, chronic malnutrition. As exemplified by our case report, they may require extensive differential diagnosis and pose a significant clinical challenge due to their non-reversible character. A successful treatment relies heavily on the patient’s compliance and may be hard to achieve. Clinicians managing patients with anorexia nervosa should be wary of early respiratory tract dysfunction-related symptoms and always consider malnutrition bronchiectasis as a differential diagnosis option.

Primary nasopharyngeal tuberculosis, defined as an isolated tuberculosis infection of the nasopharynx without systemic or pulmonary disease, is rare, even in areas endemic for tuberculosis. It is challenging for ENT specialists to diagnose primary nasopharyngeal tuberculosis at an early stage. In this report, we describe a new case of primary nasopharyngeal tuberculosis, focusing on its nasopharyngoscopic features and radiological findings that can help the understanding and aid in accurate diagnosis of this unusual disease entity. Our experience suggests that although primary nasopharyngeal tuberculosis is a relatively rare disease, it must be included in the differential diagnosis of various nasopharyngeal lesions, particularly in patients with unusual nasopharyngoscopic and computed tomography findings.
