Diverticulitis complicated by pylephlebitis: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 1-4 - 2011
Pylephlebitis is defined as septic thrombophlebitis of the portal venous system, usually secondary to infection or inflammation in the abdomen. In the current report, we present a case of pylephlebitis that complicated the course of a very common pathology, diverticulitis. A 62-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of sigmoid diverticulitis presented to our facility with a three-week history of ......
Acute fibrinous and organising pneumonia: a case report and review of the literature
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 1-6 - 2009
Organising pneumonia is a distinct histopathological entity characterized by intra-alveolar buds of granulation tissue, called Masson bodies, which mainly comprise of activated fibroblasts and loose connective tissue. This histopathologic pattern has been described in idiopathic cases, characterizing cryptogenic organising pneumonia as well as in the context of pulmonary infection, drug-induced pn......
The "incidental" episode of ventricular fibrillation: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - - 2007
Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (VF) carry important prognostic implications, especially in the post myocardial infarction period. However, artifact on the electrocardiographic tracing can mimic VF particularly on routinely recorded rhythm strips in hospitals. Such misinterpretation can lead to expensive (and potentially risky) diagnostic and therapeutic steps. We ......
Increased risk for thromboembolic events from combination of a gynecologic malignancy with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 16 - Trang 1-7 - 2022
During the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic, several patient groups are at particular risk. Mortality is higher among cancer patients and may be increased further by thromboembolic events, which are more common in coronavirus 2019 patients according to recent publications. We discuss the association of gynecologic malignancies, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus ......
Meniscal tear as potential steering factor for inflammation may aggravate arthritis: two case reports
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 8 - Trang 1-4 - 2014
Meniscal tear is thought to play a crucial role in onset as well as progression of arthritis. However, role of cytokine response to meniscal injury and resulting inflammation is not clearly understood. Because synovial fluid is juxtaposed to cartilage and serves as a biological connection between chondrocytes and synoviocytes, we chose synovial fluid analysis to ascertain biochemical response asso......
Synchronous perforation of a duodenal and gastric ulcer: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 4 - Trang 1-3 - 2010
Peritonitis due to peptic ulcer perforation is a surgical emergency with a high risk of mortality and morbidity. We present a rare case of a 54-year-old Caucasian man who underwent an emergency laparotomy for peritonitis caused by perforation of two peptic ulcers. The first was located on the anterior wall of the duodenum and the second was posterior, pre-pyloric, close to the lesser curvature. To......
Motorbike-handlebar hernia - a rare traumatic abdominal wall hernia: a case report and review of the literature
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 11 - Trang 1-4 - 2017
Handlebar hernias are very rare and arise following a sudden force from a handle-like object impacting a focal area of the abdomen, which results in a disruption of the underlying abdominal muscle and fascia without necessarily disrupting the overlying skin. Other than a reducible swelling on the abdominal wall, the physical examination of such patients is usually unremarkable and the diagnosis co......
Continuous diphenhydramine infusion and imatinib for KIT-D816V-negative mast cell activation syndrome: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 11 - Trang 1-4 - 2017
We present the first full case report of the treatment of mast cell activation syndrome with continuous diphenhydramine infusion, which resulted in the improvement of anaphylactic reactions and a decrease in hospital readmission. Furthermore, the patient received imatinib in the absence of the KIT-D816V mutation, which led to further improvement of quality of life. Currently, we are trying to wean......
Double chambered right ventricle with severe calcification of the tricuspid valve in an elderly woman: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 1-4 - 2011
Double chambered right ventricle is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which the right ventricle is divided into two chambers by an anomalous muscle bundle. The diagnosis of this disorder is difficult in adults. Calcification of the tricuspid valve is extremely rare, and very few cases have been reported. Most cases of tricuspid valve calcification had a congenital disorder with high pressure in......
Pediatric chylolymphatic mesenteric cyst - a separate entity from cystic lymphangioma: a case series
Journal of Medical Case Reports - - 2009
Chylolymphatic mesenteric cysts are rare entities with variable presentations and this has surgical implications in the pediatric age group. We carried out a retrospective analysis of the clinical and histopathological records of pediatric patients diagnosed and treated for chylolymphatic mesenteric cysts at our institute from 1998 to 2008. Eight patients met the histopathological criteria of chyl......
