AI Article Synopsis
- IgG4-related disease is a chronic, immune-mediated condition that can impact multiple organs, especially the pancreas and biliary system, leading to misdiagnosis due to its varied symptoms.
- The digestive system is rarely affected, with most gastric issues arising as tumors identified via endoscopy.
- This article highlights two unique cases involving atrophic gastritis and intestinal polyps to enhance understanding and support clinical diagnosis and treatment of IgG4-related disease.
Article Abstract
IgG4-related disease is an immune-mediated chronic, systemic, and autoinflammatory disease that can affect various organs throughout the body. The most commonly affected areas are the pancreas and biliary system. Due to the diverse clinical manifestations of the disease, it affects widely distributed organs. Thus, it is often easy to misdiagnose or miss. The digestive tract is a rarely affected system, and most IgG4-related gastric diseases manifest as tumors detected by endoscopy. This article reports two special cases with IgG4-related disease involving atrophic gastritis and intestinal polyps to provide a more empirical and theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Introduction: Very rarely, adult NMDAR antibody-associated encephalitis (NMDAR-E) leads to persistent cerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Transient cerebellar ataxia is common in pediatric NMDAR-E. Immune-mediated cerebellar ataxia may be associated with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), aquaporin-4 (AQP-4), kelch-like family member 11 (KLHL11), and glutamate kainate receptor subunit 2 (GluK2) antibodies, all of which may co-occur in NMDAR-E.

Preserflo MicroShunt (PMS) implantation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for treating glaucoma. Postoperative hypotony, a common complication of PMS implantation, can be prevented and treated with 10-0 nylon insertion. In this report, we present a case of postoperative hypotony following PMS implantation that was treated with intraluminal insertion of 9-0 nylon.

IgG-4 related disease (IgG4-RD) is an under recognised multisystem inflammatory disorder that has several typical manifestations. Cardiac manifestations of IgG4-RD are well documented however do not feature in the definition or diagnosis of IgG4-RD according to a recent consensus statement. The most well recognised cardiac manifestation of IgG4-RD, pericardial disease, is outlined in this case report as the initial presenting pathology.
