Internal hernias are an infrequent cause of intestinal obstruction with an incidence of 0.2-0.9%, therefore their early diagnosis represents a challenge. The most frequently herniated organ is the small bowel, which results in a wide spectrum of symptoms, varying from mild abdominal pain to acute abdomen. We present the case of an eight-year old patient with nonspecific digestive symptoms, a transoperative diagnosis was made in which an internal hernia was found strangulated by plastron in the distal third of the appendix. Appendectomy was performed and four days later the patient was discharged without complications.

Bleeding from gastric varices is a life-threatening condition. We report our experience with cyanoacrylate injection. Twenty three patients with portal hypertension and gastric varices underwent intra-variceal injection of a cyanoacrylate/lipiodol solution (1:1). Study endpoint was variceal obliteration. Mean follow-up was 25.3 months. Variceal obliteration was achieved in 87% of patients. Recurrence occurred in one patient (4.3%) and rebleeding in another case (4.3%). Mild abdominal pain was described in 13% of patients. Overall mortality was 21.7% and rebleeding related mortality rate was 4.3%. Our results confirm that cyanoacrylate injection is effective and safe to eradicate gastric varices.

Systemic sclerosis is a multisystem disease featured with autoimmunity and organ fibrosis. Although gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement is common in patients with systemic sclerosis, colonic perforation is extremely rare. Benign pneumatosis intestinalis, a phenomenon more frequently seen in rheumatologic conditions, makes the diagnosis of colonic perforation even more challenging. We report a unique case of colonic perforation in a patient with chronic systemic sclerosis. This patient initially presented with mild abdominal pain and hematemesis. Urgent upper endoscopy was unremarkable and radiology showed stable pneumatosis intestinalis. Due to worsening abdominal pain, laparotomy exploration was performed and colonic perforation with transmural ischemic necrosis was found.

INTRODUCTION: Gallbladder empyema is a serious complication of acute cholecystitis being peritonitis and sepsis it's main clinical consequences. Organ giant volume is rare specially with no relevant symptoms. CASE REPORT: Man 56-year-old with mild abdominal pain on the right hypochondrium, palpable gallbladder and ultrasound images revealing cholelithiasis. At surgery, there was a giant dilatation of the gallbladder with 580 mL of purulent bile. Cholecystectomy was carried out without post-operative complications. CONCLUSION: Early cholecystectomy should always be realized in patients presenting symptoms of gallbladder empyema no matter the size of it.

A 45-year-old lady presented for a follow-up endoscopy examination for mild abdominal pain due to gastric ulcers. She experienced a severe, markedly different type of pain with labor-like contractions 3 days later. Physical examination revealed tenderness confined to a 1 × 1-cm area and positive Carnett’s sign. The pain completely resolved 10 min after a subcutaneous lidocaine injection. The patient was diagnosed with anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome. The pain returned within several hours and anterior neurectomy was performed several days later. The pain subsided immediately and no recurrence was seen during 3 years of follow-up.

Splenosis refers to the seeding of splenic cells associated with surgery or trauma. Splenosis mimicking other diseases has been reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of follicular lymphoma in a patient with splenosis whose diagnosis of lymphoma was delayed because of a known history of splenosis. We report a 48-year-old male patient who underwent splenectomy because of injury from a high fall 20 years previously. He had no symptoms other than mild abdominal pain until 2 years previously, which was thought to be associated with splenosis. When his symptoms began to increase, he had explorative laparotomy for diagnosis, which was later confirmed as follicular lymphoma. Splenosis may delay the diagnosis of other conditions that can be underestimated. Clinicians should be aware of unusual symptoms in patients with splenosis.

ABSTRACTMucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are rare neoplasms. They are most common in the stomach followed by small intestine and colon. The symptoms are nonspecific and generally do not present with intussusception. Here we report a rare clinical entity in which a 35-year-old female presented to the emergency with severe abdominal pain which was sudden in onset. History revealed that she had been having vague mild abdominal pain for 2 years. Ultrasonography showed ileocolic intussusception with hypoechoic lesion of 54 x 46 mm seen at the lead point. Emergency laparotomy with the right hemi-colectomy was done. The specimen was sent for histopathological examination which revealed a diagnosis of MALT lymphoma. Awareness of the varied clinical presentation helps in formulating the appropriate therapeutic strategy.
