IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibro-inflammatory condition that can affect various organs. Localized sinonasal IgG4-RD is a rare condition characterized by bone and soft-tissue invasion. In this report, we present a case of a patient initially diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis, who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery and was later found to have biopsy proven IgG4-related sinonasal disease despite having normal serum levels of IgG4, resulting in erosion of the right lamina papyracea.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disorder characterized by elevated serum IgG4 levels and the enlargement and fibrosis of organs. As a rare manifestation, coronary arteries can be affected by IgG4-RD as coronary periarteritis, leading to serious complications such as stenosis or aneurysm. Although coronary periarteritis poses a life-threatening condition, optimal treatment strategies remain unclear due to its extreme rarity.

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.
