Article Synopsis
- Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe epilepsy disorder that begins in infancy, where sodium channel blockers can worsen seizures, making effective management crucial.
- A study conducted from 2009 to 2020 reviewed the management of prolonged seizures in DS patients, particularly focusing on intravenous phenytoin.
- Results showed that intravenous phenytoin was effective in stopping 71% of prolonged seizures without major side effects, but more research is needed to establish clear treatment guidelines for emergencies in DS.
Epididymal fusional anomalies have been found to be associated with conditions of testicular maldescent with the several studies investigating this association reporting several variations in epididymal anatomy and epididymal-testicular fusion. To our knowledge, a single case of an isolated lower epididymal pole with a normal vas deferens, dubbed "Epididymal Polar Dissociation", has been reported in the literature. In this report, we report the second case of epididymal polar dissociation discovered in a 17-year-old during surgical management of left testicular torsion.
