Efficacy of high-frequency spinal cord stimulation for fibromyalgia syndrome in two cases: case reports.

Background: Reports on the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for the alleviation of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) pain are scarce. We report two cases of effective high-frequency SCS at 1000 Hz against upper- and lower-limb pain in patients with FMS.

Case Presentation: Two women with widespread pain were diagnosed with FMS and the pain gradually worsened.

Perioperative management of a patient with Coffin-Lowry syndrome complicated by severe obesity: A case report and literature review.

Rationale: Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS) is a rare inherited disease with specific clinical features, such as mental retardation, facial dysmorphism, and cardiac abnormality. In particular, the characteristic facial features of CLS, including retrognathia and large tongue, are associated with difficult ventilation and/or intubation, which is a serious problem of anesthesia management. However, case reports on anesthesia management of CLS are very limited as there are only two published English reports till date.
