We describe a 17-year-old female who presented with 3 weeks of abdominal pain, exercise intolerance, and an episode of altered mental status found to have marked first-degree atrioventricular block. Exercise stress test and cardiac catheterization demonstrated pseudo-pacemaker syndrome, and a permanent pacemaker was placed. Following placement, she has resolution of symptoms and markedly improved exercise tolerance.

Marked first-degree atrioventricular block with a PR interval ≥500 ms is rare, leading to unusual P-wave placement. In this case, the P waves immediately after the QRS waves complicated rhythm interpretation. Close attention to P-wave morphology and fused premature ventricular complexes can be important for a proper diagnosis.

Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is a connective tissue disorder marked by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. Recent studies have linked hEDS with mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), suggesting a genetic interplay affecting immune regulation and infection susceptibility. This study aims to decode the genetic basis of mast cell hypersensitivity and increased infection risk in hEDS by identifying specific genetic variants associated with these conditions.

Purpose: Brown-McLean syndrome (BMS) is a clinical condition characterized by peripheral corneal edema with central corneal transparency. This study aims to document the tomographic and biomechanical characteristics of 3 patients with typical BMS features using the Pentacam® AXL and CORVIS ST® (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany).
Observations: Three cases of BMS are presented.
