We present a case of a 23-year-old man coming with palpitations, found to be in atrial fibrillation (AF). He was initially managed with metoprolol for rate-controlled therapy—reverted to normal sinus rhythm and discharged home. He returned a few days later—this time in varying degrees of atrioventricular block including transient complete heart block. He was empirically started on intravenous ceftriaxone for suspected Lyme carditis, which subsequently led to the resolution of high-degree heart block. Lyme immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM returned positive. Follow-up ECG after the course of antibiotic exhibited normal sinus rhythm. AF is a rare presentation of Lyme disease but still exists. It should be considered in terms of appropriate treatment, especially in Lyme-endemic areas.

Introduction: High-pressure injection injuries have been chronicled for decades. These injuries often affect distal extremities as they are most commonly involved in workplace accidents. However, we discuss a young male with a paint-gun injection injury to his face. Case Report: We discuss the case of a young man presenting to the emergency department after high-pressure injection injury to the face. He eventually underwent extensive debridement of the face. We discuss differences in caring for an injection wound to an extremity versus the face, including time sensitivity of treatment, initial stabilizing measures, and critical steps. Discussion: This case demonstrates a rare presentation of a high-pressure paint injection injury. This injury presented a unique surgical challenge where, despite compartment syndrome being less common, cosmetic outcome and infectious complication prevention remained critical priorities. Conclusion: While similarities exist in management of an injection injury to a limb, due to the rarity and deceptive appearance of this particular injury to the face, high suspicion along with urgent imaging and surgical consultation is warranted.

Background: Spinal ventral epidural arteriovenous fistulas (EDAVFs) are rare and underdiagnosed entities and usually present with benign symptoms such as radiculopathy. To the best of our knowledge, EDAVFs presenting with massive vertebral body destruction have not been reported in the literature. Case Description: A young male presented with mid back pain for 1 year and weakness of both lower limbs for 3 months. He was clinicoradiologically diagnosed with spinal tuberculosis and started on antitubercular treatment elsewhere. Radiological investigations suggested destruction and collapse of T12 and L1 vertebrae. Prominent flow voids were seen in T9-L2 epidural space, likely prominent epidural vessels. The primary differential diagnoses were spinal tuberculosis and neoplastic etiologies. T9 to L3 surgical stabilization and anterior decompression by pediculectomy of left T12 and L was done. The surgeon encountered massive bleeding at the time of anterior decompression and a vascular etiology was suspected. Biopsy revealed negative results for infection or malignancy. DSA revealed ventral EDAVFs, and hence, transcatheter embolization was performed. He had excellent outcome on assessment at 21 months postoperative follow-up. Conclusion: Spinal epidural AVFs can rarely present with gross vertebral body destruction and paraparesis. Preoperative radiological assessment with suspicion of spinal epidural AVFs can help to avoid intraoperative difficulties and complications. Timely, management of spinal epidural AVFs can result in excellent outcomes

Introduction: Adenomyomatosis is a benign alterations of gall bladder wall that can be found in 9% of patients. We present a case of gall bladder adenomyomatosis of young male presented with right upper quadrant pain. Case Report: A 22 year old male admitted with a history of pain over right upper quadrant for 8 months. The patient’s physical examination revealed tenderness over the right hypochondrium region. Contrast enhanced computed tomography showed - gall bladder wall appeared diffusely thickened with multiple small cystic areas noted. Conclusion: Symptomatic gall bladder adenomyomatosis is an indicator for cholecystectomy, which results in complete disappearance of symptoms. Asymptomatic cases are not an indication for surgery, but the radiological diagnosis must be beyond any doubt. If there is a any diagnostic doubt about the possibility of gall bladder cancer, a cholecystectomy is justified.
