Incidentally Detected Rare Retroperitoneal Tumor: Ganglioneuroma

2022-10-26T01:56:56+00:00

A primary extra-adrenal retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma was found incidentally in a 22-year-old woman during screening for suspected pregnancy by transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) and subsequently by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). TVS and MRI revealed well defined solid mass in retroperitoneal at the level of L5 to S2 vertebrae and displace right common iliac and external iliac vessels. Limited cuts of the region of Computed tomography (CT) were taken and no calcification was identified. Histological examination showed that the lesion was an extra-adrenal retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma composed of mature ganglion cells and subsequently confirmed by immunohistochemistry.

A Young Boy with Severe Leptospirosis (Weil's Disease): A Case Report

2022-10-26T01:56:59+00:00

Leptospirosis, a zoonotic disease is increasingly being recognized in developing countries. It is often underdiagnosed resulting in significant mortality as the presenting features mimic other commonly prevailing diseases like Malaria, Dengue, Acute hepatitis, Typhoid in developing world. We are reporting a case of 16 years old male student presented with acute febrile illness with icterus, hemorrhagic manifestation and pulmonary-renal involvement, diagnosed as Severe Leptospirosis (Weil's disease) confirmed by ICT method. This experience highlights the importance of considering Leptospirosis early in the diagnosis of acute nonspecific febrile illness with multi-organ involvement to cutoff mortality from this fatal disease.

A case of ventricular septal rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction - A rare lethal entity posing big challenge to surgeon

2022-10-26T01:57:00+00:00

Rupture of the ventricular septum, a rare but potentially fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction, is usually observed in the setting of acute myocardial infarction associated with major coronary artery occlusion. It is often accompanied by severe circulatory failure. In this paper we describe a case of a 70-year-old lady who presented with cardiogenic shock 7 days after acute myocardial infarction and was found to have ventricular septal rupture.

Intravascular embolization of bullets and other foreign bodies is a rare complication of penetrating trauma. It can represent a diagnostic challenge because it may present in various and unexpected ways. We report the case of a 65-year-old male who sustained shotgun pellet emboli to left ulnar artery following a right and left upper extremity gunshot injury.

Sepsis: Updates

2022-10-26T01:56:54+00:00

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction that results from the body's response to infection. To protect against sepsis prompt recognition, careful hemodynamic support, appropriate antibiotics, and control of the source of infection are required. With the trend in management, one should understand sepsis physiology and follow the best practice guidelines. Sepsis and particularly septic shock should be recognized as medical emergency as in stroke and acute myocardial infarction. Early recognition and rapid institution of resuscitative measures are critical. Although recognition of sepsis can be a challenge and the best management practices continue to evolve. This article reviews guidance on the diagnosis and management of sepsis and septic shock with attention to maximizing adherence to best practice and controversies in definition, diagnostic criteria, and management.
