We report the case of a 12-year-old boy with a peritoneal ventricular shunt who developed acute pulmonary edema of neurogenic origin after laryngoscopy and orotracheal intubation. Such maneuvers in the presence of diminished intracranial distensibility caused transtentorial herniation. Delayed diagnosis led to death in spite of appropriate treatment of postoperative complications.

Anterior cord syndrome is a rare yet critical neurological condition that poses significant challenges in clinical management. We present the case of a 71-year-old male with a medical history of hypertension, uncontrolled type II diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, and end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis who presented to the emergency department with complaints of chills, back pain, abdominal pain, and vomiting episodes. Based on the severity of the patient's illness, it was decided that inpatient admission would be best.

Hemorrhagic strokes are considered as contraindications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy because of anticoagulant administration and ECMO-associated coagulopathy. We present a rare case of successful microsurgical clipping under ECMO for a poor-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patient with severe neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE). A 50-year-old man presenting with the sudden loss of consciousness was diagnosed with poor-grade SAH with severe NPE, and was intubated.

Conservative management for hypertrophic scars (HSc) and scar contractures is of utmost importance to optimally reintegrate burn survivors into society. Many conservative treatment interventions have been described in the literature for the management of HSc. Recent advancements in the literature pertaining to post-burn scarring and HSc formation, have advanced our understanding of the mechanisms that support or refute the use of common rehabilitation treatment modalities after burn injury.

Gunshot wounds (GSWs) to the head and neck are a common etiology of traumatic brain injury. Tangential GSWs (TGSWs) are a subset of GSWs wherein the missile penetrates tissue adjacent to the cranium, causing varying degrees of intracranial injury. Most patients sustaining TGSWs present with relatively benign neurological findings, and while a significant proportion have varying degrees of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) on computed tomography, these tend to respond well to nonoperative management.
