Perforated Jejunal Diverticulum Mimicking Diverticulitis: A Case Report of Acute Abdominal Pain in an Elderly Patient.

Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare form of diverticulosis characterized by acquired pseudodiverticula in the small bowel. Although most cases are asymptomatic, the condition can present diagnostic challenges due to its atypical presentation. Complications such as perforation can lead to acute abdomen, significantly increasing morbidity and mortality.

Asymptomatic Portal Vein Aneurysm Uncovered During the Evaluation of a Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage: A Rare Clinical Case.

Portal vein aneurysms (PVAs) are rare vascular anomalies that are most often discovered incidentally during imaging for unrelated conditions. Their management remains controversial due to the limited data available. Here, we report the case of a 72-year-old male who presented with gastrointestinal bleeding and was found to have an incidental 4.

Tubular Adenoma Arising Within a Rectosigmoid Xanthoma: A Case Report.

Colonic xanthomas are a rare finding, particularly when combined with a tubular adenoma in a single polyp. While transformation to malignancy is not thought to be higher than that of a tubular adenoma alone, there is still concern as to the pathophysiology of xanthoma formation within the colon and what that may mean for patient outcomes. Here, we present a patient undergoing a routine screening colonoscopy with the removal of a rectosigmoid polyp consistent with xanthoma and tubular adenoma histopathology.

Follow-up compliance in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair at Veterans Affairs hospitals.

Objective: The Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines recommend annual imaging surveillance following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and every 5 years following open surgical repairs (OSR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Adherence to these guidelines is low outside of clinical trials, and compliance at Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals is not yet well-established. We examined imaging follow-up compliance and mortality rates after AAA repair at VA hospitals.

Newfound features associated with Hennekam Syndrome () complicated with comorbid Waldmann's Disease resulting in Celiac Disease.

Key Clinical Message: Adequate evaluation of patients with Hennekam Syndrome (HS) is challenging for physicians, because of multi-organ involvement and complex pathophysiology. We report the first case in an African American with lymphedema, who developed protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) and was successfully diagnosed with HS from cause-and-effect complications by Waldmann's Disease (WD) and comorbid Celiac Disease (CD).

Abstract: As far as we know, this is the 51st case of HS worldwide and the first one in an African American.
