This study reviews the literature on potential secondary complications following arterial embolization. Additionally, we report a case in which a dislodged embolization coil acted as a nidus for bile duct stone formation, leading to recurrent cholangitis.

Tuberculosis Masquerading Foreign Body in Children.

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a common issue in children, particularly boys, and can be life-threatening. Early removal of the foreign body (FB) leads to recovery, but delayed diagnosis may cause complications such as granuloma, recurrent pneumonia, and atelectasis. This condition often results from a child's curiosity, with factors such as inadequate swallowing reflex and activity during eating contributing to the risk.

Nephropulmonary fistula with coralliform stone migration into the thorax: a case report.

A nephropulmonary fistula is a rare complication of a non-functioning kidney, associated with a history of infection. Medical literature describes it as an adult disease in the pre-antibiotic era, and nowadays, is a rare complication. This study reports the case of a patient with nephrolithiasis who developed a nephropulmonary fistula resulting in the migration of renal coralliform stones to the lung parenchyma.

An uncommon cause of penetrating brain injury: two cases of nail gun injuries. Illustrative cases.

Background: Low-velocity penetrating brain injury (PBI) is an uncommon variant of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Patients affected by PBI can present with highly variable injury patterns, which, along with guideline-directed TBI care, may require the employment of unique operative management strategies. There are no strict guidelines for the management of low-velocity penetrating injuries.

[Intracardiac migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. A systematic literature review and case report].

Unlabelled: CSF shunting procedures are common in neurosurgery. A rare complication of these procedures is migration of distal catheter. We present a case of peritoneal catheter migration into the right heart chambers.

Clinical Characteristics and Prognostic Factors of Patients with Intraocular Foreign Bodies from a Tertiary Eye Center in North China.

Background: This study aims to describe the epidemiology and clinical features of patients with intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) and analyze the prognostic factors influencing final vision.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients with IOFBs admitted to Qingdao Eye Hospital of Shandong First Medical University between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2021. Inclusion criteria involved complete clinical data details of patients diagnosed with intraocular foreign bodies in our hospital who were treated with concurrent surgery and based on IOFB position and characteristics, different surgical methods were employed.

Simple ab externo lens capsule removal in intraocular lens reuse and intrascleral fixation for intracapsular lens dislocation: A case report.

Background: This study aimed to report and recall a simple method to remove the lens capsule ab externo when performing intrascleral fixation of an intracapsular intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation with reuse of the IOL.

Case Presentation: A 43-year-old Japanese male patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy, phacoemulsification, and IOL fixation for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the right eye 10 years prior. A 3-piece IOL was intraocularly fixed during the initial procedure.

Penetrating intraorbital wooden foreign bodies involving the right frontal lobe of the brain: A rare case report.

Background: Penetrating orbital trauma from a wooden foreign object is rare and challenging to identify, as it cannot be detected with a computed tomography (CT) scan. This report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of such a case.

Case Description: A 19-year-old female experienced penetrating orbital trauma from a wooden object following a traffic accident.

Management of a rectal entrapped foreign body: a case report.

Entrapped rectal foreign bodies are being encountered more frequently in clinical practice. They are most often related to sexual behavior or sexual assault. The presence of rectal foreign bodies poses a complex challenge for contemporary surgeons due to multiple factors such as the nature of the object, individual anatomy, duration since insertion, potential accompanying injuries, and degree of local contamination.

Secondary Myiasis in an Immunocompetent Patient With Severe Chromoblastomycosis.

This is the case of chronic chromoblastomycosis (CBM) in a 61-year-old male from the Dominican Republic (DR) with extensive cutaneous eruptions over multiple areas of the body including bilateral lower extremities and the flank extending to the back. A 61-year-old male with a history of morbid obesity, chronic kidney disease stage III, and well-controlled hypertension presented to the family medicine clinic for the evaluation of chronic painful skin lesions on his legs and torso. The lesions began 19 years prior, following a flood in the Dominican Republic (DR) where he was living at the time.

Cutaneous Myiasis in a Healthy Young Adult From Saudi Arabia: A Report of a Rare Case.

Myiasis is a parasitic infection of the skin tissue caused by larvae, which are commonly known as maggots, that is typically observed in the tropical and subtropical areas of Africa and the Americas. Cutaneous myiasis is the most prevalent form of myiasis and is categorized as furuncular, creeping (migratory), or wound (traumatic) myiasis based on its clinical presentation. Few cases of cutaneous myiasis have been observed in Saudi Arabia, and most of these have been observed in southern Saudi Arabia.

Removal of an embedded duodenal foreign body in a Schizophrenic adolescent with a guidewire-formed lasso.

Background: Foreign bodies (FBs) in the gastrointestinal tract are a common occurrence in pediatric patients, often requiring medical intervention for removal. Conventional extraction methods can be challenging, particularly when the FB is unusually large, long, abnormally positioned, or tightly embedded, presenting a gap in safe, non-surgical management techniques.

Case Presentation: In this report, we describe the innovative use of a lasso structure formed by a guidewire and biopsy forceps to successfully remove a tightly embedded toothbrush from the duodenum of a pediatric patient with schizophrenia, avoiding invasive surgical interventions, and the patient recovered well post-procedure without complications.

Shotgun injury: don't forget the wad.

While close-range shotgun injuries may clinically appear similar to gunshot wounds from rifles or handguns, they are important to differentiate as they require special consideration. We present a case of a male in his 20s who sustained a close-range shotgun wound to the right lower extremity and was subsequently found to have a retained, radiolucent shotgun wad deep within the wound bed. Identification and removal of shotgun wads are of paramount importance, as failure to do so may lead to downstream secondary infectious complications.

Tenon's patch graft for sterile perforation: follow-up with serial, high-resolution, anterior-segment, optical coherence tomography.

Management of corneal perforation depends on the size, location and cause of the lesion. Smaller perforations can be managed with tissue adhesives (TAs), amniotic membrane transplantation or Tenon's patch graft (TPG). Tenon's capsule is an autologous transplant and, as such, does not require to be supplied by an eye bank support.
