Atypical presentation of spontaneous urinoma: A case report.

Spontaneous urinomas are rare, encapsulated urine collections in the retroperitoneum that occur without prior trauma or obstruction. It often presents with nonspecific abdominal symptoms, mimicking various acute abdominal pathologies. This case report describes a rare and unique instance of spontaneous urinoma secondary to pyeloureteritis, presenting with atypical clinical features that mimic acute bowel obstruction.

Malignant transformation of recurrent benign phyllodes tumor: a case report and comprehensive review of literature.

Introduction: Phyllodes tumors (PTs) of the breast are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms, accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors. The WHO classifies PTs into benign, borderline, or malignant categories based on histological features. While benign PTs generally have a favorable prognosis, they carry a risk of transformation into malignant variants, particularly in cases of recurrence.

Classic yet challenging case of stump appendicitis: a case report.

Introduction: Stump appendicitis is a rare complication of appendectomy in which residual appendiceal tissue becomes inflamed, mimicking acute appendicitis. This case report highlights the classic clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of stump appendicitis.

Case Presentation: A 61-year-old male presented with abdominal pain and a past history of open appendectomy performed 4 years prior.

Imaging of Treacher Collins syndrome: A case report.

Treacher Collins syndrome, also known as mandibulofacial dysostosis, is a rare congenital disorder affecting craniofacial development. It is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation, primarily in the TCOF1 gene, which impacts the development of the first and second branchial arches. We present the case of a 12-year-old male with bilateral conductive hearing loss and deformed ears, whose clinical and imaging findings were consistent with Treacher Collins syndrome.

Exploring the diverse imaging spectrum of Septo-optic dysplasia: A case series.

Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), also known as de Morsier syndrome, is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a combination of optic nerve hypoplasia, hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, and midline brain abnormalities, such as the absence of the septum pellucidum or thinning/agenesis of the corpus callosum. Although bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia is more common, unilateral involvement occurs less frequently. When SOD is associated with cortical malformations, such as schizencephaly, it is referred to as Septo-optic dysplasia plus.

Remote rupture of ovarian dermoid cyst: A curious case report.

Ovarian dermoid cysts are usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally. However, they can have variable presentation especially when they are associated with complications. Spontaneous rupture of ovarian dermoid cyst is a rarely encountered complication as dermoid cyst usually have a thick capsule.

Metastatic choriocarcinoma presenting as upper gastrointestinal bleeding: A case report.

Choriocarcinoma is a type of gestational trophoblastic disease that occurs as a complication of pregnancy-related events. The gestational trophoblastic disease includes both benign and malignant conditions including complete and partial mole, invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, and placental site trophoblastic disease. Choriocarcinoma generally presents with pervaginal bleeding, symptoms of anemia, and symptoms of its metastatic lesion.

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in a symptomatic adult: a case report.

Introduction: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly. While only a few of those born with this anomaly survive into adulthood, it becomes an extremely rare diagnosis in adults.

Case Presentation: Here, the authors present a case of ALCAPA in a symptomatic adult female with angina and palpitations that was repeatedly missed on transthoracic echocardiogram.

Late onset Kawasaki disease with multiple coronary arterial aneurysms: A case report.

Kawasaki disease is an acute, self-limiting, systemic vasculitis of small and medium-sized arteries. It predominantly occurs in children under 4 years of age, though rarely older children can also be affected. This disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children, with coronary aneurysms being a hallmark finding.

Ovarian vein thrombosis in a postpartum female: A case report.

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT), while uncommon, is a serious complication that can arise from pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, oncological conditions, and pelvic surgeries. Here we discuss a case of a 37-year-old woman who, during her postpartum period, experienced lower abdominal pain and fever. Utilizing imaging findings, she was ultimately diagnosed with right ovarian vein thrombosis.

Neurosurgical intervention for giant arachnoid cyst-induced hydrocephalus in a teenager: Delving into Pandora's box.

Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention are crucial in managing giant arachnoid cysts causing obstructive hydrocephalus, as illustrated in this case of a 17-year-old male. Timely treatment can alleviate symptoms and prevent neurologic complications, ensuring favorable outcomes in affected patients.

Large ovarian mature teratoma with gliomatosis peritonei in a young female: A case report.

Gliomatosis peritonei is an extremely rare condition usually associated with either immature teratoma or, less commonly, mature teratoma. We present a case of a young female with long-standing progressive abdominal distension, who was diagnosed with mature ovarian teratoma with gliomatosis peritonei and gross ascites. The final diagnosis in this case was determined through the correlation of imaging, operative, and histopathological findings.

Isotopic gamma lines for identification of shielding materials.

Identifying the constituting materials of concealed objects is crucial in a wide range of sectors, such as medical imaging, geophysics, nonproliferation, national security investigations, and so on. Existing methods face limitations, particularly when multiple materials are involved or when there are challenges posed by scattered radiation and large areal mass. Here we introduce a novel brute-force statistical approach for material identification using high spectral resolution detectors, such as HPGe.

A case of tubercular meningoencephalitis with transverse myelitis.

Central nervous system tuberculosis accounts for approximately 1% of all tuberculosis cases. Transverse myelitis is an extremely rare manifestation of central nervous system tuberculosis, involving 1 or more vertebral segments of the spinal cord. However, it may extend to involve 3 or more segments of the cord, which would then be designated as longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis.

Diagnostic dilemma in female genital tract tuberculosis: A case report.

Female genital tract tuberculosis presents a diagnostic challenge because of its variable clinical presentation and radiological manifestation. Most patients are present with history of infertility, pain in the abdomen, vaginal discharge, and bleeding. These symptoms mimic those of gynecological cancer, such as endometrial carcinoma.

Allergen skin test responses in broad U.S. asthma population in those with and without rhinitis.

Asthma and allergic rhinitis are pathologically interlinked conditions. Despite skin testing (ST) being pivotal for evaluating allergic sensitization, U.S.

Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships for Glutamate Transporter Allosteric Modulators.

Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) are essential CNS proteins that regulate glutamate levels. Excess glutamate release and alteration in EAAT expression are associated with several CNS disorders. Previously, we identified positive allosteric modulators (PAM) of EAAT2, the main CNS transporter, and have demonstrated their neuroprotective properties .
