AI Article Synopsis
- - Bilateral upper lobe pulmonary agenesis is a rare birth defect typically discovered incidentally in adults, with non-specific and subtle findings on traditional x-rays.
- - Diagnosis is often missed on regular radiography, but chest CT scans performed for other reasons can reveal this condition.
- - Contrast-enhanced CT is the best method for diagnosing and detailing the features of pulmonary agenesis, and understanding related pulmonary anomalies is crucial in treating patients with congenital heart issues.
Article Abstract
Bilateral upper lobe pulmonary agenesis is an uncommon congenital anomaly usually detected incidentally in adulthood. Plain radiographic findings are non-specific and subtle, and diagnosis is rarely suspected on conventional radiography despite available subtle clues. Chest CT, done for other indications, is capable of detecting this anomaly. Contrast-enhanced CT is the modality of choice to diagnose and show all features of pulmonary lobar agenesis. Knowledge of the wide spectrum of associated pulmonary anomalies is required in the management of patients with congenital heart disease.

Overlap of Miller-Fisher Syndrome and Pharyngeal-Cervical-Brachial Variant Secondary to COVID-19 in Recurrent Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A Case Report.
Cureus
December 2024
Internal Medicine, Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester, GBR.
Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) is characterized by the three major components of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. The occurrence of MFS is relatively uncommon because of its monophasic nature, while recurrent Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a well-known condition. The pharyngeal-cervical-brachial (PCB) variant is a scarce variant of GBS (3%), which presents with muscle weakness initially involving the neck, oropharynx, and upper extremities.

Spondylo-thoracic dysplasia (STD) is a set of rare congenital abnormalities involving the vertebrae and thorax, leading to significant morbidity and mortality due to respiratory insufficiency and associated anomalies. Clinically, neonates present with scoliosis, vertebral segmentation defects, and severe respiratory compromise, resulting in early neonatal death. These children have a unique patho-anatomy of volume depletion deformity of the thorax, resulting in thoracic insufficiency.
