Introduction: Renal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare yet serious complication following percutaneous nephrolithotomy, especially in patients with solitary kidneys. Effective management is crucial to prevent further renal damage.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 41-year-old male with a solitary kidney who experienced gross hematuria and renal insufficiency 3 months after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
Introduction And Importance: Achalasia, an uncommon esophageal motility disorder, presents therapeutic challenges, especially in refractory cases with a history of multiple surgeries. Here, we present a complex case illustrating the dilemmas and multidisciplinary approach required in managing such patients. This case underscores the relevance of newer techniques like robotic-assisted esophagectomy in refractory achalasia management.

- Diagnosing rare neurological conditions like Balo's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is difficult but essential for effective treatment, necessitating teamwork among specialists.
- A 32-year-old woman experienced confusing symptoms, and despite initial treatments, her condition worsened until MRIs revealed BCS.
- This case emphasizes the need for comprehensive evaluations and suggests that more research is needed to improve our understanding and management of rare neurological disorders.
Article Synopsis
- Drug-induced acute pancreatitis is an often overlooked condition that ranks as the third most common cause of acute pancreatitis, following alcohol intake and gallstones.
- Levofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used for treating infections, can lead to acute pancreatitis, alongside its known side effects like photosensitivity and liver toxicity.
- A case study is presented of a woman who developed acute pancreatitis after taking levofloxacin for urinary tract infections, with her diagnosis confirmed through clinical signs, lab results, and imaging tests.
Article Synopsis
- - A patient with stage IV breast cancer had metastatic lesions in the lungs, identified through an initial CT scan, indicating a serious progression of the disease.
- - After starting palliative chemotherapy including paclitaxel and Herceptin, a follow-up CT scan revealed remarkable improvements, with the metastatic lesions disappearing and the cancer regressing to stage II.
- - This case emphasizes the critical role of timely palliative treatments, which can lead to surprising positive outcomes, including the potential for surgical intervention in advanced cancer cases.
Perforated gastric adenocarcinoma is a rare and challenging complication of gastric cancer, which can lead to intra-abdominal abscesses and other complications. Management of perforated gastric adenocarcinoma with an intra-abdominal abscess requires a multidisciplinary approach, including empiric antibiotic therapy and fluid resuscitation, partial gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction, and image-guided drainage. This case report highlights the complex and challenging nature of managing perforated gastric adenocarcinoma with intra-abdominal abscesses.

It is rare in adults, accounting for 1% of adult bowel obstruction. Adult presentation of intussusception is variable, with nonspecific, vague symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and rectal bleeding.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA significant right-sided pleural effusion was seen on chest radiography in a 53-year-old adult male who complained of bilateral chest pain, shortness of breath, and other additional symptoms. The bloody pleural effusion was removed with a chest tube, and cytopathology analysis showed moderate cellularity. After performing a high-resolution computed tomography, it was discovered that the affected lung had a significant pleural effusion on the right side as well as collapsed and consolidated lung parenchyma.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOvarian dermoid cysts, also known as mature teratomas, are benign embryonal tumors with a slow growth rate. They are the consequence of ectodermal components becoming trapped along with their closure sites and account for the most common germinative ovarian tumor in reproductive-aged women. These patients may have a reduced risk of morbidity if they receive an accurate diagnosis and extensive follow-up care.
