Herein, we report a rare case study of a sarcoidosis presenting with the features of compressive myelopathy. There were multiple extra-dural lesions in the thoracic region. Computerized Tomography (CT) of the chest revealed fibrotic changes with a pleural based nodular lesion in the right lung. The patient underwent laminectomy and partial excision of both the lesions. The histology revealed presence of non-caseating granulomas. The patient made a good recovery following adjuvant medical management with steroid and Methotrexate. Repeat CT scan of the chest also confirmed good resolution in the size of the pleural based nodule.

Fistulization involving both the sigmoid colon and urachus is exceedingly rare. While previous cases have often necessitated laparotomy due to the involvement of multiple organs, only one instance of successful laparoscopic surgery has been reported. Here, we present the second documented case of laparoscopic resection of a sigmoid-urachal fistula.

TBCK (TBC1 Domain-Containing Kinase) encodes a protein playing a role in actin organization and cell growth/proliferation via the mTOR signaling pathway. Deleterious biallelic TBCK variants cause Hypotonia, infantile, with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies 3. We report on three affected sibs, also displaying cardiac malformations.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an interventional procedure that has been used to treat chronic back pain for over 50 years; this unique case report demonstrates the effectiveness of pulsed radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) on the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) in the treatment of chronic radicular pain (Russo et al., 2021, J Pain Res, 14, 3897). The RFA provides pain relief by using thermal energy to disrupt peripheral nerves carrying nociceptive signals back to the central nervous system (Abd-Elsayed et al.

Introduction: Introduction The Hy antigen is one of ten red cell antigens belonging to the Dombrock blood group system, with an antigen frequency of almost 100% in the majority of populations. Alloantibodies to high prevalence antigens cause difficulties with antibody identification and exclusion in serological investigations.
Case Presentation: This review describes the management of four antenatal cases where the presence of alloanti-Hy had been identified.
