Atraumatic subcutaneous rupture of the finger flexor tendon of the hand and forearm is rare. Most sites of closed and subcutaneous ruptures of the finger flexor tendon are the tendon-bone insertion and musculotendinous junction, and an intratendinous lesion is unusual. We report the case of a 76-year-old female who presented to our department with a one-month history of a soft tissue mass and limited flexion of the left middle finger without trauma.

The aim of this case report is to present an acute case of longitudinal radioulnar dissociation with humeral capitellum fracture.
Case Presentation: A 48-year-old man suffered longitudinal radioulnar dissociation with humeral capitellar fracture following a motorcycle accident.
Isolated cortical vein thrombosis (ICVT) is a rarer subtype of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) that involves only the cortical veins without any thrombosis in the major cerebral veins or sinuses. Among the known causes of CVST are factors, such as being a young female or the use of hormonal preparations. This study presents a case of a 35-year-old female who underwent endometrial polyp removal 5 days before symptom onset and started using a transdermal estradiol patch.

Herein, we document the mechanical thrombectomy (MT) of a carotid bifurcation occlusion post-left upper lobectomy (LUL) to manage AIS. A 76-year-old male with a history of diabetes, dyslipidemia, and a treated dural arteriovenous fistula at the transverse sigmoid junction, with no history of AF, successfully underwent LUL for a pulmonary tumor.

Juxta-articular myxoma (JAM) is a rare soft tissue tumour predominantly composed of mucinous tissue and usually found around large joints. We report a 73-year-old woman with a 5-year history of a soft tissue mass in the thenar eminence of the right wrist who presented to our department. An initial diagnosis of a ganglion cyst was made using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the jellied content of the mass by aspiration.
