High negative pressure subcutaneous suction drain for managing debilitating subcutaneous emphysema secondary to tube thoracostomy for an iatrogenic post computed tomography guided transthoracic needle biopsy pneumothorax: Case report and review of literature

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare medical disorder, which is most often found in the immediate postpartum period. OVT is rarely considered idiopathic. We report a case of idiopathic OVT with pulmonary embolism in a 33-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic OVT. To date, only 12 cases of idiopathic OVT have been reported. In this case report, we present a summary of these cases and a review of literature regarding management of idiopathic OVT.

Core Needle

A 75-year-old man presented very late with a huge sternal mass that measured 91 × 84 mm on computed tomography. A core needle biopsy revealed atypical cartilage tissue, suggesting chondrosarcoma. The mass was resected and the defect was reconstructed with bone cement, Prolene mesh, and a muscle flap.

Here we describe a case of Reye syndrome diagnosed at postmortem liver biopsy of a three-year oldgirl who presented with vomiting, low grade fever for three days and loss of consciousness for 18hours. Clinically, the differential diagnoses were meningitis, encephalitis and septicemia. No historyof past illness or any drug ingestion including aspirin were present. Laboratory investigationsindicated a diagnosis of Reye syndrome. The child was given supportive treatment but died aftertwo days of admission and postmortem needle-biopsy of the liver showed microvesicular steatosisconsistent with Reye syndrome.Key words: Microvesicular steatosis, mitochondrial hepatopathy, Reye syndrome, Reye-like syndrome
