Left mixed laryngocele in absence of risk factors: A case report and review of literature

Os pênfigos são dermatoses bolhosas autoimunes, em que há a produção de autoanticorpos direcionados contra moléculas de adesão dos epitélios, levando à perda da coesão celular. As doenças bolhosas intraepidérmicas são compostas pelo grupo dos pênfigos: pênfigo foliáceo clássico, pênfigo foliáceo endêmico, pênfigo eritematoso, pênfigo vulgar, pênfigo vegetante, pênfigo herpetiforme (variante clínica dos pênfigos vulgar e foliáceo), pênfigo por IgA, pênfigo paraneoplásico e pênfigo induzido por medicamentos. Devido à transferência placentária dos anticorpos IgG, existem casos de recém-nascidos com diagnóstico de Pênfigo Neonatal. Este artigo relata o caso de uma paciente recém-nascida de mãe com diagnóstico prévio de Pênfigo Vulgar com lesões exulceradas extensas na região perineal, couro cabeludo, cervical posterior e dorso, e também lesões bolhosas nos pés.Descritores: Pênfigo; Recém-Nascido; Dermatopatias; Doenças Autoimunes.ReferênciasSmolinski KN, Shah SS, Honig PJ, Yan AC.

Cardiac thrombosis is an unusual condition characterised by the formation of a clot in the heart chambers. Biventricular thrombosis with obstruction of blood flow and fatal cardiogenic shock is anecdotal. This report describes a rare biventricular thrombosis in an elderly woman without known risk factors which was diagnosed at autopsy. A complete autopsy is essential to ascertain the cause of death, especially in complex cases with little medical history. We suggest a possible explanation for the pathophysiological mechanism.

IntroductionPatients with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) are concerned about a slight or non-existent defect on their appearance, causing significant stress and interfering on their social and professional life.Despite its prevalence and psychosocial impact, this disorder remains unknown by many clinicians.Methods and objectiveThrough a review of literature and illustration in our case report we will define: the symptomatology of this pathology, psychopathological models of the disorder and the etiopathogenic assumptions associated with it, in terms of risk factors and neurobiological correlations.Case reportPatient 33 years old unmarried having been the victim of an AVP at the age of 25 years causing him a head injury above right eye for which he undergoes cosmetic surgery three times but the patient still not satisfied with installation of psychotic and delusional disorders requiring the use of antipsychotics.ConclusionThe complexity of body dysmorphic disorder should not discourage clinicians to confront this disease. The management requires more than putting under medical treatment associated to psychotherapy, we also need a good relationship of trust and maintain effective working alliance.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

BACKGROUND: Incisional hernias are one of the most common complications developing in 3.8–11.5% after abdominal surgery. The management of giant incisional hernia (GIH) with loss of abdominal domain remains a surgical challenge with a high recurrence rate of 30%, elevated comorbidity and a mortality rate between 0% and 5%. CASE REPORT: A 70-year-old woman presented at our emergency room with a 24 h history of abdominal bloating. She had severe comorbidities and GIH with loss of domain (LOD). Abdominal _TC scan demonstrated a GIH about 10 × 11 cm, associated with colon and ileus with “LOD.” CONCLUSION: Different risk factors are important for developing an incisional hernia as old age, vascular disease, diabetes, obesity, renal failure, hepatic disease, protein deficiency, immunosuppression, and smoking. Surgical treatment should be centralized to discuss every case with a multidisciplinary team (general surgeon, plastic surgeon, and radiologist).
