Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bones caused by pyogenic organisms. The ribs are an extremely uncommon site for osteomyelitis, occurring in less than 1% cases. The main causative organisms are Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Hemophilus influenzae. Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli have been rarely reported. Authors hereby present a case of an immune-competent patient who presented with an osteomyelitis of the ribs caused by the latter. In developing countries, tuberculosis is considered as the primary cause of osteomyelitis and pleural effusions. However, other organisms should also be considered in patients who present with fulminant infections.

Chest pain is an extremely common presenting complaint on the acute medical unit. It is important to distinguish between patients who have serious pathology and those without. Often, the focus is on ruling out an acute coronary syndrome and inadequate consideration is given to other possible causes. This case highlights the importance of performing relevant investigations in a timely manner, in order to ensure that a correct diagnosis is made.

A woman complaining of dyspnea and chest pain since childhood, was referred to our hospital with an initial diagnosis of biventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Multimodality imaging evaluation revealed massive right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy and severe RV outflow tract obstruction, with a final diagnosis of double chambered RV associated with small ventricular septal defect with right-to-left shunt and right partial anomalous pulmonary vein return. This represents an uncommon combination of congenital abnormalities, extremely rarely diagnosed in adulthood.

Introduction Hydatid cystic disease is a parasitic infestation that is mostly caused by Echinococcus granulosus, which is common in sheep-rearing areas of the Mediterranean, Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and South America. Canines are the definitive hosts, and herbivores (e.g. sheep, horses, deer) or humans are intermediate hosts. Ingested eggs from animal feces hatch in the gut and release oncospheres (immature forms of the parasite enclosed in an embryonic envelope). Case report A very rare case of isolated, thyroidal, hydatic cyst is presented. Conclusion Non-vascular cysts may be seen on ultrasonographic examination that are not specific for hydatid disease. Clinical and laboratory findings are therefore important. Definitive diagnosis is based on histopathological findings. Treatment is surgical and antiparasitic drugs are required after surgery.

Subglottic and tracheal malignancies are the least frequently encountered laryngeal cancers. When these tumors are encountered, they have often reached advanced size prior to producing symptoms. Once symptoms are brought to the attention of the otolaryngologist, rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential to effect the earliest possible treatment and to minimize morbidity and mortality associated with this problem. Illustrative cases are presented including a highly unusual case that presented with cardiac-like chest pain. A review of the literature including the pertinent anatomy, pathophysiology, and methods of diagnosis and treatment is presented. Increased familiarity with this disease process and a high index of suspicion on the part of the otolaryngologist may lead to improved survival patterns in patients with these malignancies.

Cystic Hydatid

AbstractEchinococcosis is an infection caused in humans by Echinococcus granulosus which produce cystic hydatid disease. It is prevalent in most areas with livestock is raised in association with dogs. Liver is the most common site of this infection. We are presenting a case of 19-year-old adult who had chronic cough and pleuritic pain due to hydatid cyst in left lung.
