We present a case of successful cryoablation of the left extension of the atrioventricular (AV) node for treatment of a recurrent atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia without the use of fluoroscopy. Three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping system and intracardiac echocardiography were used to navigate catheters in the heart and position them according to anatomical landmarks. Due to the nature of cryoablation lesion formation, lesions were able to be applied safely in right atrium, as well as in left atrium, without damaging AV node or bundle of His.

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by cerebral hemiatrophy, leading to seizures, hemiparesis, and cognitive deficits. We report the case of a 20-year-old female with a history of chronic seizure disorder and left-sided hemiparesis. The patient experienced her first seizure at 6 months of age, followed by recurrent generalized tonic seizures throughout childhood.

Background: Internal mammary node irradiation (IMNI) improves overall survival (OS) in node-positive breast cancer patients. However, the effect is not documented in breast cancer patients treated with newer systemic therapies and 3D-based radiotherapy (RT). Therefore, the Danish Breast Cancer Group (DBCG) IMN2 study aimed to investigate the effect of IMNI in node-positive breast cancer patients treated with newer systemic therapies and 3D-based RT.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) presents significant challenges in neonatal management, particularly in the context of anesthesia. This case report details the successful anesthetic management of a five-day-old neonate with left-sided CDH requiring thoracoscopic repair. A five-day-old neonate, delivered via emergency cesarean section due to breech presentation, presented with severe respiratory distress and was diagnosed with left-sided CDH.

Silent sinus syndrome is a rare condition that typically affects the maxillary sinus, with only a few reported cases of frontal sinus involvement. Blockage of the sinus ostium leads to persistent hypoventilation, creating negative pressure and eventual sinus collapse. This report describes a previously undocumented case of facial asymmetry due to frontal silent sinus syndrome, following multiple childhood nasal injuries.
