Superior mesenteric artery syndrome in a pediatric patient: A rare case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, or aorto-mesenteric clamp syndrome, is a rare condition where the third portion of the duodenum is compressed between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. This syndrome often affects adolescents and young adults, with predisposing factors including significant weight loss, anatomical variations, and spinal deformities. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for managing symptoms and preventing complications.

Uncommon retroperitoneal mass in a young adult: A rare case report of retroperitoneal schwannoma and review of diagnostic challenges.

Introduction And Importance: Retroperitoneal schwannomas are extremely rare, benign tumors originating from Schwann cells in peripheral nerve sheaths, with few reported cases. Their deep location and nonspecific symptoms make preoperative diagnosis challenging, often requiring imaging and surgical resection for confirmation. This case highlights an uncommon presentation of retroperitoneal schwannoma in a young patient, emphasizing its rarity.

Ectopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder: A rare incidental finding in a cholecystectomy specimen - A case report.

Introduction: Ectopic pancreatic tissue (EPT) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of pancreatic tissue in an abnormal location, separate from the pancreas, without any anatomical or vascular connection to it. This anomaly is often an incidental finding during operation or autopsy. This peculiarity poses clinical and radiological challenges for surgeons, particularly during laparoscopic or open procedures.

A rare case report: Management of paratubal cyst torsion in the second trimester and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Paratubal cysts are common adnexal lesions that can lead to complications such as torsion, especially during pregnancy, presenting diagnostic challenges due to symptom overlap with acute surgical emergencies. This study details the clinical characteristics and management of paratubal cyst torsion through a case report and literature review.

Case Presentation: A 29-year-old pregnant woman at 28 weeks gestation presented with right iliac fossa pain and nausea.

Perception of Tunisian Medical Students with Chronic Conditions: Pilot Study.

Background: Medical studies are hard to manage especially for students with specific needs. These students warrant some adaptations in studies and trainings in order to achieve learning goals. Studies showed they face structural and cultural barriers and stigma.
