[Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis patients in internal medicine : a 10-year retrospective study].

Introduction: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis is a pathology increasingly encountered in all hospital departments, including internal medicine. The aim of our study is to describe the characteristics and care pathway of patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis in internal medicine and to show that the number of patients diagnosed is increasing.

Methods: Descriptive, retrospective, non-interventional, single-center study at Strasbourg University Hospitals (HUS).

Hearing Loss and Sixth Cranial Nerve Paresis after COVID-19.

Unlabelled: An 80-year-old patient was admitted to the internal medicine department for binocular diplopia and hearing loss with sudden onset. The patient had presented with SARS-CoV-2 infection 3 weeks previously and had been admitted to hospital. Complete work-up including autoimmunity, serum and LCR viral serology and MRI did not allow a diagnosis to be established.

Frostbite and Cold Agglutinin Disease: Coexistence of Two Entities Leading to Poor Clinical Outcomes.

An 83-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department for a 7-day history of fatigue and progressive cyanosis in the feet and hands after cold exposure despite physical protective measures. Upon arrival, the patient presented with necrotic cutaneous lesions in both hands and distal lower extremities. Upon admission, hemoglobin was 7.

Spinal Cord Compression Secondary to a Spontaneous Spinal Haematoma in a Patient Newly Treated with Rivaroxaban.

Unlabelled: A 74-year-old patient anticoagulated with rivaroxaban for chronic atrial fibrillation presented to the emergency department with acute lumbar pain with progressive weakness of the lower limbs and inability to stand up. No previous trauma was reported. Neurological examination was consistent with a complete spinal cord syndrome at the level of T6.

[Acquired hemophilia as the initial manifestation of colorectal cancer's recurrence].

We report the case of an 86-year-old man presenting with a spontaneous hematoma in the left iliac muscle and previous diagnosis of colon cancer in 1998 (stage pT3N0M0) treated with transverse colectomy and considered in complete remission. After a complete study, it was possible to identify the presence of Factor VIII inhibitors antibodies that confirmed the presence of acquired hemophilia. During hospitalization the patient presented a lower gastrointestinal bleeding leading to the diagnosis of recurrence of a previously treated colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Acute Confusional State Revealing Moyamoya Disease in the Emergency Department: A Rare Entity.

Unlabelled: A 54-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department for an acute, fluctuating altered mental status and reduced perceptual awareness of her surroundings as well as disorganized thinking. Blood tests, including for drugs, were normal. A CT scan of the brain was normal.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and psychiatric manifestations in a previous healthy patient.

Background: The clinical presentation of SARS-CoV-2 infection was initially dominated by respiratory symptoms. However, the clinical spectrum is wide and neuropsychiatric syndromes are also a source of medical concern. Our aims are to present an atypical clinical presentation of SARS-CoV-2 infection characterized by auditory hallucinations and unusual behavior and to emphasize the diversity of clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
