We report a case of multifocal fibrosis extending retroperitoneally (Ormond's syndrome) with urinary tract obstruction and bilateral ureterohydronephrosis that resulted in chronic renal insufficiency. The development of mediastinal and pericardial fibrosis was accompanied by clinical symptoms of exudative and constrictive pericarditis. Fibrosis of cardiac conducting system was associated with compromised sinus node and intraventricular blockade. Paraaortic, paraorbital, and periportal extension of fibrosis was documented. Diagnosis was made based on clinical observations and results of MSCT. Duration of the disease was 20 years. Immunosuppressive therapy failed to improve the patient's condition because of irreversible structural and functional changes in the organs.

The bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a pathological passageway between the bronchus and the pleural cavity. Diagnosing and localising BPF can be challenging, and the traditional retrograde methylene blue (MB) perfusion method may fail to identify multifocal BPFs. This article reports a novel method for locating multifocal BPFs in patients undergoing concurrent empyema debridement.

Balamuthia amoebic encephalitis (BAE) is a rare, fatal parasitic infection of the central nervous system, with a current mortality rate above 95%. The high fatality rate is largely attributed to atypical clinicopathological features, delayed diagnosis, and the absence of effective treatment methods, so quick recognition of this disease is vital. In this paper, we present a survivor of BAE, who was confirmed through histologic examination and metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of brain lesions.

Background: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare, immune-mediated inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system (CNS), typically characterized by the acute onset of multifocal demyelination. The pathogenesis of ADEM remains unclear, but it is believed to be triggered by an autoimmune response, often following viral infections or vaccinations.
Case Report: This case report describes a 3-year-old child who developed ADEM after receiving two concurrent influenza vaccines: one for seasonal influenza and one for the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.
