AI Article Synopsis

  • A 35-year-old woman with chronic bowel-associated dermatosis-arthritis syndrome developed laryngeal oedema due to a persistent cough and complications from delayed treatment and intubation.
  • Evaluations confirmed that the oedema was not caused by inflammatory, autoimmune, or cancerous conditions.
  • The case highlights the rarity of cough-induced laryngeal oedema and stresses the importance of a collaborative medical approach and prompt treatment in managing complex health issues to avoid serious hospitalizations.

Article Abstract

This case report describes laryngeal oedema occurring in a 35-year-old woman with chronic bowel-associated dermatosis-arthritis syndrome, and stenosis of the left main bronchus. The oedema was attributed to persistent cough exacerbated by delayed treatment and intubation-related irritation. Evaluations ruled out inflammatory, autoimmune, and malignant causes. Literature lacks on specific descriptions of cough-induced laryngeal oedema, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach and early intervention in complex cases to prevent severe hospitalizations in patients with known serious conditions and symptom exacerbation.

Background Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disorder in India, and while prevalence data is limited, it is believed that a significant number of individuals may be affected. Due to restricted access to first-line treatments, older therapies like danazol are commonly used despite associated risks in resource-constrained settings. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of danazol as an affordable long-term prophylaxis (LTP) for HAE in a three-generation family.

Perioperative and critical care management following penetrating thoracic trauma represents a complex challenge. Those who survive the early trauma approach and reach the hospital alive often remain in critical condition, with cardiocirculatory complications and major pulmonary injuries. Additional difficulty arises from the presence of a weapon , particularly in a dorsal location, which limits patient positioning, and the safe manipulation of both the weapon and the patient.

To explore and summarize the morphological features of laryngeal tuberculosis under electronic laryngoscopy and image-enhanced endoscopy (i-scan). A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 31 patients diagnosed with laryngeal tuberculosis at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2014 to June 2024, encompassing the morphological features of electronic laryngoscopy and i-scan endoscopy, histopathological features, and supplementary clinical examination results. Descriptive statistical methods were employed for the analysis.
