AI Article Synopsis
- A patient experienced intestinal obstruction due to a severe fungal infection in the perineum caused by Basidiobolus ranarum.
- The antifungal treatment provided was highly effective in addressing the infection.
- This case is unique because previous reports mainly focused on internal mucosal involvement rather than soft tissue effects causing obstruction.
Article Abstract
A case of intestinal obstruction caused by extensive soft tissue fungal infection of the perineum due to Basidiobolus ranarum is presented here. There was excellent response to antifungal treatment. A literature search revealed the case report of intestinal obstruction due to intrinsic mucosal involvement by the fungus, but extensive soft tissue involvement of the perineum resulting in extraneous obstruction to the rectum, has not been reported so far.

Comparison of the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer patients: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Int J Surg

Background: Preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) is considered to be the standard treatment strategy for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC); however, the risk of adverse events and postoperative recurrence remains significant. This study aimed to evaluate the non-inferiority of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) compared with nCRT in patients with LARC and to assess the possibility of eliminating radiotherapy on the basis of guaranteed efficacy.
Materials And Methods: We searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of nCRT and nCT for LARC.

Introduction And Importance: Stricture formation is a well-known Crohn's disease consequence that usually results from recurrent cycles of inflammation and healing and primarily affects the small intestine.
Case Presentation: In this report, we describe the case of a 35-year-old male with an 18-year history of Crohn's disease complicated by long-kinked ileal stricture who presented with a 3-month history of subacute small intestinal obstruction diagnosed with MR enterography and underwent failed medical treatment.
Clinical Discussion: The patient, a male showing signs of wasting due to a prolonged subacute small intestinal obstruction, underwent an MR enterography which revealed a 6-cm kinked ileal stricture.
Petersen's hernia with chylous ascites following laparoscopic total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y anastomosis: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Petersen's hernia occurring through the epiploic foramen of the greater omentum, is an uncommon type of internal hernia. When it presents with complications such as chylous ascites, which is the lymphatic fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity, it is particularly rare. Following laparoscopic total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y anastomosis, the incidence of this condition is exceedingly low.

Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) is characterized by congenital absence of ganglion cells in the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to impaired defecation, constipation and intestinal obstruction. The current diagnosis of HSCR is based on Rectal Suction Biopsies (RSBs), which could be complex in newborns. Occasionally, there is a delay in diagnosis that can increase the risk of clinical complications.
