Glue embolization to the lung vasculature following histoacryl injection sclerotherapy: A neglected etiology of pulmonary embolism.

Pulmonary embolism is a significant complication of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, commonly known as histoacryl, used to sclerose bleeding gastroesophageal varices. We present a 50-year-old female with seronegative chronic liver disease who was managed with endoscopic histoacryl injection sclerotherapy for bleeding gastric fundal varices. Following treatment, the patient developed sudden respiratory distress due to multiple pulmonary glue emboli, requiring inpatient supportive care along with close monitoring for a week.

A Rare Case of Brain Abscesses Caused by Acremonium Species.

species are saprophytic fungi that are rarely pathogenic in humans. According to several reports, species can cause various diseases, ranging from superficial infections after traumatic inoculation in immunocompetent individuals to invasive infections in the immunocompromised. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of brain abscess in an 18-year-old male caused by species in Pakistan.
