Introduction. Although it can be difficult to differentiate pain in lower legs, it is important for clinicians to differentiate medial tibial stress syndrome, which is a rather benign condition, from acute compartment syndrome, which is an emergency, as well as from different types of stress fractures described in this region. The aim of this case report was to present medial tibial stress syndrome as a clinical diagnosis, possible dilemmas in differential diagnosis and the efficacy of rehabilitation treatment. Case report. A 25-year old male patient sought medical help complaining of the pain along the distal third of tibia. The pain was present on palpation of the distal two-thirds of the lateral and medial tibial border over the length of 9 cm and on muscle manual testing of foot flexors. The patient underwent physical and exercise treatment for three weeks. The recovery was monitored by visual analogue scale, which measured the lower leg pain, pain on palpation and manual muscle testing. In addition, the patient himself assessed his ability to resume sport activities on the 5-point Likert scale. The final evaluation and measurements showed his complete functional recovery. Conclusion. The results obtained in this case show the importance of accurate clinical diagnosis and rehabilitation for medial tibial stress syndrome.

Stress Syndrome

Chronic leg pain is a common problem for young soldier-athletes. Differential diagnosis of this issue is extensive and includes more common entities such as medial tibial stress syndrome and tibial stress fracture and other scarce causes. Therefore, making a correct diagnosis proves to be vital for appropriate care. This topic discusses the case of a 36-year-old soldier who was diagnosed with a schwannoma of the left tibial nerve as a rare cause of leg pain. Its literature is scarce and intends to add further data about recommendations for investigation and management for this kind of lesion.

CASE REPORT This article describes a case report with a review of the symptomatology diagnosis, and treatment of thrombophlebitis in the superficial dorsal vein of the penis. Penile Mondor’s disease is a benign condition, and after appropriate therapy, near complete recovery takes place within three weeks. DISCUSSION Thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis (Penile Mondor’s disease) is a rare, but important clinical diagnosis that any physician, and in particular general practitioners, should be able to recognize. Indeed, correct diagnosis and consequent reassurance can help to control the anxiety typically experienced by patients suffering from the disease.

Functional Outcome Measures

ObjectiveTo assess the ability of functional measures to detect disease progression in dysferlinopathy over 6 months and 1 year.MethodsOne hundred ninety-three patients with dysferlinopathy were recruited to the Jain Foundation's International Clinical Outcome Study for Dysferlinopathy. Baseline, 6-month, and 1-year assessments included adapted North Star Ambulatory Assessment (a-NSAA), Motor Function Measure (MFM-20), timed function tests, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), Brooke scale, Jebsen test, manual muscle testing, and hand-held dynamometry. Patients also completed the ACTIVLIM questionnaire. Change in each measure over 6 months and 1 year was calculated and compared between disease severity (ambulant [mild, moderate, or severe based on a-NSAA score] or nonambulant [unable to complete a 10-meter walk]) and clinical diagnosis.ResultsThe functional a-NSAA test was the most sensitive to deterioration for ambulant patients overall. The a-NSAA score was the most sensitive test in the mild and moderate groups, while the 6MWT was most sensitive in the severe group. The 10-meter walk test was the only test showing significant change across all ambulant severity groups. In nonambulant patients, the MFM domain 3, wrist flexion strength, and pinch grip were most sensitive. Progression rates did not differ by clinical diagnosis. Power calculations determined that 46 moderately affected patients are required to determine clinical effectiveness for a hypothetical 1-year clinical trial based on the a-NSAA as a clinical endpoint.ConclusionCertain functional outcome measures can detect changes over 6 months and 1 year in dysferlinopathy and potentially be useful in monitoring progression in clinical trials.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier:NCT01676077.
