Inferior vena cava thrombosis (IVCT) is a rare occurrence and is a result of leg deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The etiology of IVC thrombosis can be divided into congenital versus acquired etiological factors found in Virchow’s triad of stasis, injury, and hypercoagulability. Hyperhomocysteinemia is a rare risk factor for thromboembolism.

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare complication of myocardial infarction that requires surgical repair. Herein we describe a case of intraoperative VSR requiring a second bypass run and patch repair. This case highlights the importance of early reperfusion and poses concern for delayed patient presentation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This case report describes a peculiar and innovative fixing procedure in the unusual case of magnet dislodgement and rupture of the cochlear implant (CI) silicone sheath holding the magnet. The poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) mesh provided excellent results in terms of stability, protection, preserved signal transmission and patient comfort. Its

sputum acid-fast bacilli were positive and anti-TB treatment was started. Her cerebrospinal fluid results were normal except for a positive nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for tuberculous. She responded to protocol for treatment of status epilepticus and anti-TBM treatment and her level of consciousness improved and she became fully aware

Patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) harboring the T315I mutation who progress to blast phase CML while on ponatinib may be successfully treated with asciminib monotherapy following induction therapy with cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Patients presenting with Class III malocclusion often present significant challenges for the orthodontist and restorative clinician. The characteristic anterior crossbite is commonly associated with a maxillo-mandibular skeletal base discrepancy leading to both functional and esthetic issues. Three potential incisal tooth positions are discussed using clinical examples including implants.

A 73-year-old patient who was admitted secondary to acute asthma exacerbation that required frequent salbutamol and adrenaline nebulization. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was diagnosed after new onset of chest pain with modest troponin elevation and normal coronary angiogram. Low ejection fraction and apical akinesia were completely resolved after her symptoms got improv

Pheochromocytoma occurs in 1 in every 50,000 hypertensive pregnant lady. Antenatal diagnosis is critical to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality rates. Here, we describe a patient diagnosed with pheochromocytoma at 35 weeks with an atypical presentation of right flank pain and seizures, her preoperative optimization and intra-partum surgical management.

Cervical vagal schwannoma is a rare clinical entity which requires different clinical approach than other neck swellings. Magnetic resonance Imaging is the preferred initial diagnostic test. Complications may arise due to vagal stimulation in unsuspecting open biopsies. Surgical excision with perioperative vagal monitoring is recommended for treatment of vagal schwannomas.

A 23-year-old woman followed for adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) presented fever and chest pain. Clinical examination showed erythematous papules suggestive of flagellate dermatoses. Laboratory findings showed increased Cardiac troponin. Myocarditis due to AOSD was therefore suspected. The patient was treated with prednisone and methotrexate with significant clinical improvement.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is not known to cause serious vascular complications. This report describes a 49-year-old man with NF1 who presented to our hospital in hemorrhagic shock due to vascular leakage within a neurofibroma tumor. Physicians should be aware that NF1 can cause a wide variety of vascular lesions.

The Rumpel-Leede phenomenon is when the distal dermal capillaries of an extremity rupture in response to local mechanical pressure, such as an inflated blood pressure cuff or a compression band, disrupting the capillary membrane. This article presents an image of the rumpel-leede phenomenon after transulnar percutaneous coronary intervention.

Leishmaniasis is a common cause of pancytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly in tropical and sub-tropical regions. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose and manage patients with leishmaniasis. History of travel should always be elicited in patients with suggestive clinical presentation.

This paper presents a case with type 2 diabetes mellitus on a very low-carbohydrate diet who developed euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) 3 days after starting sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). When initiating SGLT2i, healthcare providers should confirm the implementation of a low-carbohydrate diet and provide intensive guidance to prevent EDKA.

From 2016 to 2021, two cases of rabies encephalitis were diagnosed and hospitalized at the Kiffa hospital center. Neither of them had started the rabies vaccination after the dog bites before symptoms appeared. In countries where rabies still occurs, health workers should be trained for an efficient management of dog.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic multisystem disorder that was first described by Von Recklinghausen. We report a case of a female who initially presented with hematuria and was later found to have multiple manifestations of the disease. The report emphasizes the value of investigations on suspected cases.

Sporotrichoid-lymphocutaneous-pattern is classically seen in sporotrichosis, though also present in other infections like atypical mycobacteriosis and leishmaniasis. Cutaneous atypical mycobacterial infection presents as localized lesions in immunocompetent and is widespread in immunosuppressed patients. Here, we present a case of sporotrichoid-lymphocutaneous infection due to atypical mycobacteria, in a fish-seller under immunosuppressants.

This clinical image presents unexpected bronchial dilatations with radiographic images suggestive of progressive pulmonary tuberculosis. The aim is to remind the value of thoracic imaging in the early diagnosis of bronchopulmonary pathologies to improve the prognosis of patients.
