Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms (SAPs) are rare and most often secondary to trauma. On the contrary, a mycotic origin is exceedingly rare, and defining this etiology can become challenging. We present a rare case of a tuberculous SAP in a young patient.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries are rapidly increasing due to an aging population, leading to an increase in degenerative hip osteoarthritis. However, 1% of these patients go through prosthetic joint infection (PJI), which gives rise to implant failure with prolonged periods of patient incapacitation and higher mortality risk.
Case Report: In this article, we report an unusual case of a 62-year-old male who developed a PJI 7 months after a THA.

Wear particle reaction is present in every arthroplasty. Sometimes, this reaction may lead to formation of large pseudotumors. As illustrated in this case, the volume of the reaction may be out of proportion to the volume of the wear scar.

The case involves a 63-year-old hypertensive man, taking antihypertensive medication (olmesartan) for the previous two years, who sought medical attention due to voluminous diarrhea, with several episodes per day and weight loss of 10 kg. He was submitted to a series of diagnostic procedures without elucidation and empirical treatment with unsuccessful outcome. After hospitalization for clinical stabilization and for presenting with duodenal atrophy, obtained by duodenal biopsy associated with negative markers for celiac disease, the patient was diagnosed with suspected olmesartan-induced enteropathy, showing rapid improvement of diarrhea after the drug was withdrawn, with weight regain in 6 months and normalization of the duodenal histological picture after 10 months.

Background: Post-traumatic pseudomeningoceles are common findings after a brachial or lumbar plexus trauma, in particular after nerve root avulsion. Unlike meningoceles, pseudomeningoceles are CSF full-filled cysts confined by the paraspinous soft tissue, along the normal nerve course, in communication with the spinal subarachnoid spaces. Normally no more than a radiological finding at MRI, in rare instances they might be symptomatic due to their size or might constitute an obstacle during a reconstructive surgery.
