Charting the Unknown: Green Urine After Propofol in Pediatric Trauma.

The phenomenon of green urine discoloration, while rare, represents a captivating clinical puzzle that challenges the distinction between benign and pathological conditions. In this report, we present an intriguing case involving a 15-year-old trauma patient admitted following a motorcycle collision, where the ensuing unconsciousness necessitated propofol induction for intubation and sedation. Remarkably, around 48 hours post-admission, the patient displayed green urine discoloration, which resolved spontaneously within just 12 hours.

Pneumosinus Dilatans of the Frontal and Ethmoidal Sinuses Revealed by Conscience Disorder and Respiratory Distress: Case Report and Literature Review.

An abnormal enlargement of the air-filled paranasal sinuses is referred to as pneumosinus dilatans. Typically discovered incidentally through radiological examinations, it infrequently manifests as cosmetic, neurological, ocular, or rhinological pathologies. Thorough evaluation for associated conditions is essential in patients with pneumosinus dilatans, including meningiomas of the anterior skull base or the optic nerve sheath.

Severe Sepsis Secondary to Toxic Megacolon Revealing an Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease can present with numerous infectious complications, including intra-abdominal abscess, perforations of the intestine, fistula formation, and the occurrence of septicemia. Toxic megacolon (TM) is a potentially fatal complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. In this case report, we report a 49-year-old male patient who was admitted to the intensive care unit for the management of severe sepsis that was secondary to an inaugural toxic megacolon complicating a silent inflammatory bowel disease, with a Lichtiger score of 11.
