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 ......
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 ......
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......
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......
Aberrant DNA methylation of cancer-related genes in giant breast fibroadenoma: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 1-4 - 2011
Giant fibroadenoma is an uncommon variant of benign breast lesions. Aberrant methylation of CpG islands in promoter regions is known to be involved in the silencing of genes (for example, tumor-suppressor genes) and appears to be an early event in the etiology of breast carcinogenesis. Only hypermethylation of p16INK4a has been reported in non-giant breast fibroadenoma. In this particular case, th......
Environmental influences on familial discordance of phenotype in people with homocystinuria: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 1-3 - 2008
Non-heritable factors may have an influence on the clinical expression of monogenic inherited metabolic diseases. This is a case report of a man whose mother had been diagnosed late in childhood with pyridoxine responsive homocystinuria with lens dislocation and neurodevelopmental delay. These severe complications were not observed in her son who was pyridoxine unresponsive but who had been treate......
Paradoxical embolism following thromboaspiration of an arteriovenous fistula thrombosis: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 4 - Trang 1-5 - 2010
Paradoxical embolism is an increasingly reported cause of arterial embolism. Several embolic sources have been described, but thrombosis of an arteriovenous fistula as a paradoxical emboligenic source has not, to the best of our knowledge, been reported. A 50-year-old Caucasian woman received a renal graft for primary hyperoxaluria. After transplantation, she was maintained on daily hemodialysis. ......
Osteosarcoma of the bladder: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 16 - Trang 1-5 - 2022
Osteosarcoma arising from the bladder is extremely rare, with only 38 cases reported to our knowledge. It is often detected owing to hematuria, and is treated by surgery (for example, total cystectomy), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy; however, the prognosis is extremely poor. An 83-year-old Japanese man underwent cystoscopy for postoperative follow-up of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, w......
Bartter syndrome-like phenotype in a patient with diabetes: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 12 - Trang 1-4 - 2018
Bartter’s syndrome is a rare genetic tubulopathy affecting the loop of Henle leading to salt wasting. It is commonly seen in utero or in early neonatal period. Rare cases of acquired Bartter’s syndrome are reported in association with infections like tuberculosis, granulomatous conditions like sarcoidosis, autoimmune diseases, and drugs. The mainstay of management includes potassium, calcium, and ......
Chromosomal 16p microdeletion in Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome detected by oligonucleotide-based array comparative genomic hybridization: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 1-7 - 2012
Chromosomal aberrations of chromosome 16 are uncommon and submicroscopic deletions have rarely been reported. At present, a cytogenetic or molecular abnormality can only be detected in 55% of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome patients, leaving the diagnosis in 45% of patients to rest on clinical features only. Interestingly, this microdeletion of 16 p13.3 was found in a young child with an unexplained syn......
