AI Article Synopsis
- - A 65-year-old man with a history of laryngeal cancer experienced gastric outlet obstruction due to a rare condition involving partial mesentericoaxial gastric volvulus and eventration of the left dome of the diaphragm.
- - The patient's past treatment included total laryngectomy and radiotherapy, which may have contributed to his current health issues.
- - He successfully recovered through conservative management and was discharged from the hospital.
Article Abstract
Partial mesentericoaxial gastric volvulus associated with acquired eventration of the left dome of the diaphragm is very rare. We present the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with features of gastric outlet obstruction. He had a prior history of laryngeal cancer for which total laryngectomy was done, and adjuvant radiotherapy was administered. He was subsequently diagnosed with eventration of the left dome of the diaphragm and partial gastric volvulus. The patient recovered completely with conservative management and was discharged.

CHRONIC GASTRIC INSTABILITY IN REHABILITATED VIRGINIA OPOSSUMS ().
J Zoo Wildl Med
December 2024
Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota, Roseville, MN 55113, USA.
Chronic gastric instability (CGI), potentially part of the gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) syndrome, was identified in four free-ranging Virginia opossums () treated at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota in Roseville, Minnesota. These individuals displayed lack of expected weight gain, inappetence, gastric gas distension, and delayed gastric emptying time. One was diagnosed with GDV via diagnostic radiology, whereas the other three were diagnosed with suspected CGI using radiographs, ultrasound, and confirmed with exploratory surgery.

This study aims to report the dietary and daily management, clinical signs, complementary exams, and pathological findings related to an acute and fatal case of gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) in a captive Linnaeus's two-toed sloth () in the Amazon Biome. An adult female sloth, rescued after being electrocuted, was housed at the Wildlife Section of the Veterinary Hospital (WSVH) of the Institute of Veterinary Medicine (IVM) at the Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA). It was fed a diverse diet that included animal protein, fruits, vegetables, and greens, with vitamin and mineral supplementation.

Department of Bariatric Surgery, Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital, Royal Oak, MI, USA.
Gastric remnant volvulus following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is rare, with only two previously reported cases. Herein, we present the first case of gastric remnant volvulus following gastric sleeve conversion to RYGB in a 32-year-old female. Management for gastric remnant volvulus has not been clearly described in the literature due to the rarity of cases; however, previously documented cases of gastric remnant volvulus following RYGB were managed with gastropexy or resection of the gastric remnant.

Dermatosparaxis Ehlers Danlos syndrome (dEDS) is a very rare monogenic EDS that occurs due to biallelic pathogenic variants in ADAMTS2. Fifteen individuals with dEDS have been reported in the literature, with the oldest being 19 years at follow-up. Given the lack of information regarding adults with dEDS, our aim was to describe adults with dEDS to inform management recommendations in adulthood.

Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare developmental anomaly where a defect in the diaphragm allows abdominal organs to migrate into the thoracic cavity, impairing lung function. While typically identified in neonates, delayed presentations, though uncommon, can complicate diagnosis and treatment. Early detection is vital to prevent severe complications such as organ strangulation or perforation.
