Case of Lemierre's Syndrome Presenting With Neuro-Ophthalmologic Complications That Worsened After Stopping Corticosteroids.

Lemierre's syndrome (LS) is a rare disorder that manifests as septic internal jugular thrombophlebitis following a recent oropharyngeal infection. This article details a unique case of LS, where the patient presented to the emergency room with complaints of vomiting, headache, diplopia, and left eye pain.

Complex Presentation of a Dieulafoy Lesion in a Geriatric Patient with Multiple Comorbidities.

Dieulafoy lesions (DL) consist of tortuous, thick-walled submucosal arteries that protrude through a small mucosal defect, often surrounded by otherwise normal mucosa. They are commonly located in the proximal stomach, particularly along the lesser curvature and near the esophagogastric junction, typically within 5 cm. However, they can also occur in various other regions of the GI tract, including the esophagus, duodenum, and colon.

A Rare Case of Chickenpox Infection Complicated by Hip Septic Arthritis.

Chickenpox represents a viral malady characterized by the emergence of vesicular skin eruptions. This ailment is frequently encountered during childhood and typically manifests a benign course devoid of complications. Among the prevalent complications, secondary bacterial skin infections ranging from superficial impetigo to subcutaneous abscesses are most frequently observed.

Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Misdiagnosed as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Report of a Rare Case.

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are a diverse group of lymphoproliferative disorders rising from the lymphocytes with a broad spectrum of histological characteristics and clinical manifestations that often complicate accurate diagnosis. Autoantibodies have been observed at higher frequencies in lymphoproliferative diseases, yet the precise role of the immune system and the underlying causative factors remain enigmatic. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), an aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma variant, commonly presents in a manner akin to other aggressive lymphomas, featuring swift progression of peripheral and/or retroperitoneal adenopathy, accompanied by systemic symptoms like fever, night sweats, and weight loss.

Extensive Deep Vein Thrombosis With Intraabdominal Extension Triggered by Oral Contraceptive Use in a Young Patient With Interrupted Inferior Vena Cava With Azygos Continuation: A Case Report.

Congenital malformations of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are rare and often asymptomatic, typically discovered incidentally during imaging. However, these anomalies can result in circulatory stasis, impede venous return, and serve as predisposing factors for thrombus formation. Here, we present a unique case of a 28-year-old female patient who was found to have interrupted IVC with azygos continuation, an exceedingly rare IVC anomaly, during a work-up of extensive bilateral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with an intraabdominal extension which was triggered by recent combined oral contraceptive pills (OCP) use.
