A Case Report of Post-COVID-19 Eosinophilic Enteritis: An Uncommon Diagnosis in an Adult.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE), also known as eosinophilic enteritis (EoN), are both parts of the eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease (EGID) and share pathogenic similarities. Over the past two decades, the incidence and prevalence of EoE have rapidly increased, especially in Western countries, while EGE remains rare. Unlike EoE, no standard treatment strategies or guidelines have been established due to the extreme rarity of EGE, especially in Western countries.

Case Report and Literature Review of an Anomalous Course of the Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) Arising From the Right Sinus of Valsalva (RSV) Presenting as Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) mimics myocardial infarction with symptoms like chest pain, electrocardiogram (EKG) changes, and elevated troponin levels, although it typically features normal coronary arteries upon angiography. While often asymptomatic, coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) can cause intermittent vasospasm and endothelial dysfunction, potentially inducing TC. We report the case of a 74-year-old female with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and peripheral artery disease, who presented with sudden onset chest pain.

An Uncommon Finding in an Adult: A Case Report of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and Protein-Losing Enteropathy.

Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a rare disorder with diverse causes, but the treatments are limited and understudied. It is often associated with significant mortality and morbidity. The survival of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) in infants without any intervention is usually 4.

Colonic Varices as an Unsettling Cause of Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding.

Colonic varicose veins are very rare and are usually discovered incidentally during colonoscopy or when complications occur, such as lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. The primary cause of colonic varices is usually portal hypertension secondary to liver disease or very rarely due to pancreatic disease (e.g.

From Silent to Severe: Gastric Perforation Causing Spontaneous Hydropneumothorax Secondary to a Large Hiatal Hernia.

Hiatal hernias, characterized by the protrusion of internal organs through the diaphragmatic hiatus, are commonly seen in the elderly age group. While surgical management remains debatable for asymptomatic cases, emergent complications necessitate prompt intervention. Here, we present a case of a 69-year-old female with a history of diaphragmatic hernia, who developed acute hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to acute pleural effusion caused by paraesophageal hernia rupture.

Primary Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma of the Colon Presenting as Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia: A Case Report.

Introduction: Primary lymphoma of the colon and rectum is an uncommon form of cancer comprising less than 0.5% of all colorectal tumors combined. Typically, extra nodal lymphomas manifest in the gastrointestinal tract, with non - Hodgkin lymphoma being the most frequent subtype and the stomach being the most common location.

Cardioembolic Stroke Secondary to Massive Stress-Induced Apical Thrombosis: A Clinical Conundrum Relating to Anticoagulation Initiation.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or stress cardiomyopathy is a condition characterized by acute and transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction in the absence of coronary heart disease, occurring after an acute emotional or physical stressful event. Cardiac dysfunction in these patients is suspected to be secondary to catecholamine induced cardiac myocyte injury via cyclic AMP-mediated calcium overload or due to endothelial dysfunction. Even though left ventricular dysfunction in takotsubo cardiomyopathy is transient, it can lead to acute complications.

Infective Endocarditis Complicated by Iatrogenic Intracranial Hemorrhage Secondary to Cefazolin-Induced Coagulopathy.

Infective endocarditis can be acute or subacute. It can be caused by viral, bacterial, fungal, and sometimes nonbacterial etiologies. It is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in children as well as adolescents, despite advances in management.

Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia in a Young Adult: Gastrointestinal Arteriovenous Malformations as a Presenting Feature.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is characterized by the presence of multiple arteriovenous malformations (AVM) in which arteries and venules are connected directly without intervening capillaries. The primary clinical presentation is spontaneous and recurrent nosebleeds (epistaxis), typically starting around 12. Telangiectases, which are small arteriovenous malformations, are commonly found in mucocutaneous areas and gastrointestinal (GI) mucosa.

Fulminant Presentation of Budd-Chiari Syndrome Secondary to COVID-19 Infection.

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare condition characterized by the obstruction of hepatic venous outflow. It is estimated to affect 1 in 100,000 people worldwide. In cases of new BCS, inherited and acquired hypercoagulability states must be evaluated.

A Rare Case of COVID-19 Vaccination-Induced Cholangiopathic Liver Injury.

Drug-induced liver injury is a serious adverse drug reaction that can result in acute liver injury or cholestatic injury affecting the bile ducts, known as cholangiopathic liver injury (CLI). Although CLI is not as familiar as the hepatocellular pattern, emerging evidence suggests that it may occur after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. This case report focuses on an 89-year-old woman who developed CLI after receiving the tozinameran COVID-19 vaccine.
