Aspiration after regurgitation of gastric content is a rare but potentially serious complication of colonoscopy. This is a case report of a patient who had a regurgitation followed by laryngospasm and hypoxemia during an elective colonoscopy for Crohn's disease. The original feature of this case is the type of regurgitated liquid, namely fecal. Indeed, this patient had an unknown colo-gastric fistula. Pulmonary aspiration was ruled out and a vigilant attitude allowed a favorable outcome.

Tricuspid regurgitation can be due to different causes and mechanisms. Among these, cardiac involvement in carcinoid disease is a rare cause of tricuspid valve disease with a peculiar echocardiographic aspect. We report the case of a 59-year-old woman, with no past medical history, who was recently found to have a heart murmur and signs of right heart failure.

We report an unusual case of blunt chest trauma referred to us for unexplained hypoxemia, emphasizing the unusual nature of injury and the importance of comprehensive cardiac evaluation in such cases.

Summary/introduction: Velopharyngeal incompetence(VPI) is the failure of closure of the velopharyngeal sphincter, which consists of the muscles of the soft palate and the superior pharyngeal constrictor, and functions to separate the nasopharynx and oropharynx during phonation and swallowing. VPI is most frequently congenital/syndromic (with structural deficit) but can be acquired. A subset of acquired VPI, occurring in structurally intact velopharynx, has been described in children, and these are isolated and acute-onset, with a substantial proportion thought to have an infectious origin.
