Radiation-Induced Lumbosacral Plexopathy.

Lumbosacral plexopathy (LSP) encompasses a group of disorders affecting post-ganglionic fibers derived from the L1-S4 roots. The differential diagnosis is challenging and includes other neuropathies of medullary, radicular, or peripheral origin. Defining the etiology is equally crucial, as LSP management relies on its cause.

Bedside ultrasound to detect bone flap infections: A case image.

Ultrasound showing an anechoic collection with interspersed echogenic foci (blue arrows - gas bubbles) proximal to the hyperechoic bone flap (red asterisk; post-decompressive craniectomy). Serratia marcescens was isolated from the collected fluid. Bedside ultrasound can be a reliable and effective tool to aid in the diagnosis of bone flap infections.

Morestin Syndrome Beyond Thoracic Trauma.

Morestin syndrome (MS) is a rare clinical manifestation consequent to an acute compression trauma to the thorax. In such an event, the sudden elevated pressure that happens to the airway and the rapid and retrograde blood flow results in capillary rupture in the head and neck vessel territory. This case reports a car accident victim that was dragged by a truck down a road with closed thoracic trauma resulting in MS.

Hypofibrinogenaemia: A Case of Spontaneous Bleeding and Central Venous Thrombosis in the Same Lifetime.

Unlabelled: The authors present the case of a 27-year-old patient who suffered from spontaneous bleeding during infancy and from a severe and central venous thrombosis in adult years. The patient underwent a thorough laboratory work-up on both occasions and was diagnosed with hypofibrinogenaemia as well as protein S deficiency, 2 diseases that contrast in their intrinsic bleeding/thrombotic risk. The patient's high-risk pregnancy was carried out up to a successful full-term eutocic delivery which required fibrinogen concentrate to reduce life-threatening bleeding.
