When Stents Go Astray, We Find a Way: A Case Report on Retrieving a Migrated Esophageal Stent.

Benign esophageal strictures are characterized by the narrowing of the esophageal passage due to fibrotic changes. These strictures can arise from various causes, including gastroesophageal reflux disease, which leads to peptic strictures; surgical procedures causing esophageal injury, resulting in anastomotic strictures; radiation therapy, ingestion of corrosive substances, or endoscopic resection. Approximately 10% of benign esophageal strictures do not respond to conventional dilation therapy, prompting the consideration of temporary stent insertion as an alternative treatment approach.

Navigating the Nexus: A Rare Case of Choledochal Cyst With Concomitant Pancreas Divisum.

Choledochal cysts (CCs) are quite rare and are characterized by anomalous dilations of the biliary tree, mostly due to anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ). A less frequent congenital anomaly due to incomplete fusion of pancreatic ducts, pancreas divisum (PD) can complicate the clinical course of CC. Although rare, the coexistence of CC and PD presents significant clinical challenges.

Exploring the Depths: A Case Report of a Record-Breaking Subgaleal Hematoma Uncovered.

This case report highlights an unusual manifestation of a giant subgaleal hematoma in a 15-year-old child, which progressed to a potentially life-threatening condition requiring surgical drainage. Subgaleal hematomas occur when the emissary veins between the periosteal and aponeurotic layers of the scalp rupture. In many cases, subgaleal hematomas undergo spontaneous absorption without intervention.
