McIndoe Vaginoplasty in MRKHS: Case Report and Literature Review.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by agenesis of the uterus and upper two-thirds of the vagina. It affects around 1 in 4000-5000 females and is of two types: type 1, also known as isolated Müllerian aplasia or Rokitansky, which involves only uterovaginal agenesis, and type 2, presents as uterovaginal agenesis along with renal, cardiac, and other organ anomalies. Despite the absence of vaginal and uterine structures, individuals with MRKHS typically present with normal secondary sexual characteristics and ovarian functions.

We report a 28-day-old newborn diagnosed with a rare form of biliary atresia presented with an unusual association of posterior fossa bleed and subarachnoid hemorrhage despite vitamin K prophylaxis.

Transient aphonia following spinal anesthesia during emergency cesarean section: Case report and review of literature.

Subarachnoid block with local anesthetic agents is a well-established anesthesia technique among pregnant females for labor analgesia and cesarian delivery. Although it is considered a reliable and safe technique for both mothers and fetuses, unexpected high or low levels of block may occur due to accidental injection of these agents into different meningeal spaces other than intended. Hypotension, bradycardia, headache, and failed anesthesia are common complications of spinal anesthesia.

A rare extrapulmonary presentation of tuberculosis: Breast tuberculosis.

Key Clinical Message: Breast abscess of long duration can be tubercular origin in both developing and developed countries despite its rarity.

Abstract: A 34-year-old lady presented with painful lump on her breast for 2 months, which was diagnosed with mammary tuberculosis on basis of aspiration cytology and successfully treated with antitubercular drugs. Breast abscess of long duration may be tubercular etiology in both developing and developed nations.

Hepatic portal venous gas is diagnosed via computed tomography due to unusual imaging features. HPVG when linked with pneumatosis intestinalis has a high mortality rate and required urgent intervention. We present a case of a 26-year-old young adult with superior mesenteric artery thrombosis who presented with severe abdominal pain.

Pheochromocytoma disguised as gestational hypertensive disease during pregnancy: A case report.

Pheochromocytoma is often diagnosed prior to pregnancy. Sometimes, the disease may be diagnosed for the first-time during pregnancy masking itself as a hypertensive disease in pregnancy. Early diagnosis and timely, appropriate management reduce possible maternal and fetal complications.

Stiff person syndrome in a Nepalese man with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and ketonuria: A rare case report.

Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), a progressive Central Nervous System disorder is accompanied by progressive muscle rigidity, hyperreflexia, and spasms mainly in truncal and proximal leg muscles mainly associated with autoimmune disorders. Here, we report a rare case of SPS in a middle-aged Nepalese man with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and ketonuria.

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of central nervous system infections in a tertiary center: A retrospective study.

Background And Aims: Central nervous system (CNS) infection is one of the most common causes of morbidity, mortality, and hospital admission worldwide. The natural history of CNS infection is quite fatal. Early diagnosis and treatment have been proven to have a crucial role in patients' survival.

A case report of multiple abscesses caused by .

is a beta-hemolytic, non-motile, catalase-negative, gram-positive member of the group. When compared to other members of this group like and , infections are more substantial. In this case, we present a 47-year-old male patient who was found to have abscesses in his lungs, liver, and brain.

Malignant fibroma presenting as a hypoglycemia and coma in a 45-year-old male patient: A case report.

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are a rare group of spindle cell neoplasm of submesothelial origin with malignant potential and can present as hypoglycemia secondary to excess secretion of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) from the tumor. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important in such cases to prevent hypoxic injury to the brain secondary to hypoglycemia. Here, we are presenting a case of a 45-year-old male patient, who presented with recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia spells, and later on, it was diagnosed that hypoglycemic spells were secondary to fibroma.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome following lower segment caesarean section under spinal anesthesia: A case report.

Symptoms of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) may be mistaken for typical puerperal changes, delaying diagnosis. Surgery and anesthesia may be triggers for GBS with an overall increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines in the postpartum period. We report a unique case of GBS in the postpartum period who made a good recovery with supportive measures.

Borderline tuberculoid leprosy misdiagnosed as Cheilitis Granulomatosa Miescher: A case report.

Macrocheilia, as an initial manifestation of leprosy, is uncommon. We present a case of a 50-year-old female, with lower lip swelling, initially diagnosed as Cheilitis Granulomatosa Miescher. Unresponsiveness to local intralesional corticosteroids necessitated further evaluation.

Native right-sided endocarditis in intravenous drug user: A case report.

An increased rate of hospitalizations due to right-sided infective endocarditis is currently witnessed due to the rapid rise of IV drug use. In this case report, we aim to discuss the long-term outcome and highlight the various diagnostic approaches and management difficulties that are encountered in these cases.

A rare presentation of necrotizing sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis is a disease with unknown aetiology and pathogenesis which affects young adults and is usually a non-necrotizing granulomatous disease seen in histology. Variants of the disease, such as necrotizing sarcoidosis, were first described by Liebow in 1973 and are rarely seen. This case report describes the case of a 60-year-old Bengali female who presented with vague symptoms and was found to have chronic granulomatous inflammation with foci of calcifications involving the lungs, liver and spleen consistent with necrotizing sarcoidosis.

Snake in right coronary artery-Extensive spontaneous coronary artery dissection in a young male.

We report an interesting case of a young man who revealed extensive spontaneous dissection of the RCA in diagnostic angiography. It was surprising that despite an extensive dissection, the patient remained hemodynamically stable on medical management throughout the procedure and during the post-procedure hospital stay.

Guillain-Barré syndrome after mRNA-1273 (Moderna) COVID-19 vaccination: A case report.

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an acquired inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy that often follows infection with a virus or bacteria and in rare occasions, vaccination may precede GBS.

His symptoms got exacerbated after 2nd dose.

Cerebellar infarction as the initial presentation of IgG4-related disease.

Although IgG4-RD has CNS manifestations, cerebellar involvement has only been reported in three cases. Our patient presented with cerebellar symptoms, several cerebellar infarcts were evident on the brain MRI, and CT abdomen revealed retroperitoneal tumor. Endoscopic biopsy confirmed IgG4-RD.

Salivary alpha-synuclein as a potential fluid biomarker in Parkinson's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Lewy bodies are the pathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease. There is a need for effective biomarker that is cost effective, less invasive, and easily reproducible with good sensitivity and specificity and can be used to diagnose the condition early and track its severity and progression. Alpha-synuclein (α-syn), an integral component of the Lewy body, is found in saliva and can be a potential answer to the above concerns.
