Inflammatory Breast Carcinoma in Pregnancy: A Curious Case of a High-Grade Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Masquerading as a Breast Abscess in the Second Trimester.

Inflammatory breast carcinoma is an uncommon presentation of carcinoma breast characterised by tumour cell emboli invading the dermal lymphatics and manifesting as skin oedema and redness, closely resembling acute mastitis. We report the case of a 37-year-old pregnant female in the second trimester (at 16 weeks) with a left breast inflammatory carcinoma deceptively presenting as a breast abscess leading to a late diagnosis, delayed definitive management, and having profound psychological, therapeutic, and prognostic implications. Given its tendency to be clinically misleading and often disregarded until late stages, much emphasis has to be placed on a low threshold of suspicion when suggestive clinical signs are encountered.

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury by the Glasgow Coma Scale Score and Early CT-Brain Findings in Acute Alcohol Intoxication Patients: A Prospective Observational Study.

Introduction Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in recent years have proved to be a significant public health problem, with potentially life-changing consequences for the individual and their family. Alcohol consumption is a regular, well-documented problem among persons sustaining TBI due to road traffic accidents and accidental falls. The primary objective of this study was to find out the correlation between the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score and CT brain findings among mild TBI patients under acute alcohol intoxication and determine if early CT-brain is indicated in this group.
