Scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal deformity characterized by a lateral deviation of at least 10° Cobb, categorized into idiopathic and non-idiopathic forms, caused by identifiable factors like congenital abnormalities, neuromuscular conditions, or genetic syndromes. This case report discusses a 15-year-old girl with growth delay and growth hormone (GH) deficiency who experienced rapid scoliosis progression. Initial evaluations were normal, and electroencephalography (EEG) showed nonspecific alterations, but further assessment revealed a MYH3 gene variant associated with scoliosis, short stature, and distinct facial features.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure using percutaneous devices, such as the Amplatzer occluder, is a common treatment for patients with a history of cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Although generally well-tolerated, some patients may develop adverse reactions to the device materials, particularly in the presence of a nickel allergy. Symptoms can include chest pain, rashes, and migraines, which may necessitate surgical removal of the device.

Introduction: Medially routed biceps-to-triceps tendon transfer for elbow extension reconstruction in spinal cord injury (SCI) has proven to be a reliable procedure. This technique classically places the tendon transfer superficial to a paralyzed ulnar nerve, with a theoretical risk of compression neuropathy.
Case Presentation: A 21-year-old male with a C5 American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade B SCI who underwent bilateral biceps-to-triceps tendon transfers presented with new-onset paresthesias in the ring and small fingers 10.

Dual left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery is a rare anatomical variant with significant clinical implications. Recognizing this variant is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management, particularly in the context of revascularization strategies. We present a 71-year-old male with a history of dyspnea on exertion with baseline wall motion abnormality on a transthoracic stress echocardiography irreversible after exercise.
