Fatal hemoperitoneum due to rupture of mesenteric artery in remission state of microscopic polyangiitis, concomitant with severe hypertension and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome: an autopsy case report.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a type of necrotizing vasculitis associated with high levels of myeloperoxidase-specific antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA). While generally associated with renal dysfunction, MPA can also cause intraabdominal hemorrhage in rare cases. A 66-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for renal dysfunction, numbness, and weight loss for 3 months.

[A case of post-cardiac arrest syndrome presenting with lateralized periodic discharges evolving to a cyclic seizure pattern on electroencephalogram].

A 53-year-old man with hypertension experienced sudden cardiopulmonary arrest. Ambulance crews detected ventricular fibrillation that responded to defibrillation. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation resulted in return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after 30 minutes.

Successful treatment of primary cardiac lymphoma with atrioventricular nodal block.
