A case of gallbladder torsion complicated by sigmoid volvulus and sub-torsion of the ileus is reported because of the difficulty of diagnosis, conditioned by polymorphic symptomatology, the expression of a variety of causes and contributing causes that play an important role in the greater or less onset of dramatic symptomatology, and because of the rarity of the pathology.

Background: Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism and variable immune dysfunction. Among three distinct types of GS, occurring due to different genetic mutations; GS type 1 presents with neurological manifestations, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) generally develops in GS type 2, and GS type 3 primarily exhibits oculocutaneous albinism. HLH, a life-threatening condition with excessive immune activation, may occur secondary to various triggers, including infections, and develop in different tissues, as well as in the testis, similar to Erdheim-Chester disease.

Background: Growth rods are the gold standard for treating early-onset scoliosis (EOS). However, current treatments with growth rods do not optimize spinal growth in EOS patients, and frequent distraction surgeries significantly increase complications, imposing considerable economic and psychological burdens on patients. An improved growth rod is urgently required to address the need for dynamic growth and external regulation.

: Femoral torsional malalignment is a common cause of in-toeing and out-toeing in children, often leading to gait disturbances, functional limitations, and increased risk of falls. Traditionally, osteotomy was the only surgical option for correction. A minimally invasive technique known as rotational guided growth (RGG) has recently been introduced to address these malalignments.

Introduction: Accessory spleens are a common anatomical variant, consisting of ectopic splenic tissue present in different locations in the peritoneal cavity. Typically asymptomatic, the presence of these tissue grows to be of clinical importance when complicated by infarction, rupture, or torsion.
Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a 36-year-old female that presented to the Emergency Department for diffuse abdominal pain and was found to have a partially ruptured splenule secondary to a venous infarct on abdominal computed tomography scan.
