Emerging pediatric visceral leishmaniasis in Kashmir valley: A report of three cases.

Visceral leishmaniasis is the most severe form of leishmaniasis. There has been an increase in number of cases in the sub-Himalayan regions of India in the past few years. Here we present three pediatric cases diagnosed with visceral leishmaniasis from the region.

Ruptured cerebral aneurysm in isolated type A interrupted aortic arch managed by transradial endovascular route: A case report with literature review.

Background And Introduction: Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a very rare congenital anomaly carrying high neonatal mortality rate if left untreated. Rarer still, is its presentation in teenage or adulthood. This condition has been found to be complicated with cerebral aneurysms, which is a consequence of hemodynamic stress and hypertension secondary to arch interruption.

Macular dual retinitis with Herpes simplex and Cytomegalovirus following periocular corticosteroid in a patient of Pemphigus Vulgaris.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis may occur in non-HIV individuals following systemic immunosuppressive treatment or periocular corticosteroid administration. However, simultaneous multiple viral retinitis is rare in HIV-negative individuals. We report a case of dual viral retinitis in a non-HIV female on systemic immunosuppressive for pemphigus vulgaris who was administered a periocular corticosteroid injection.

Post-Tracheostomy Vascular Injury to the Anomalous Thymic Branch Managed by Endovascular Coiling.

Background: Tracheostomy-related arterial haemorrhage can be devastating especially if arising from an obscure anomalous vessel which can potentially complicate treatment decision.

Methods: We report a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with upper airway obstruction, who had profuse bleeding, post-tracheostomy, from the stomal site. CT angiography showed presence of a pseudoaneurysm adjacent to the tracheostomy site which was confirmed on catheter angiography to be arising from anomalous thymic branch of right common carotid artery (CCA).
