Rupture of intracranial dermoid cyst by strenuous physical activity due to emotional stress: A case report

Keratin granulomas in the peritoneum are a rare finding with multiple etiologies and can be especially challenging for both the pathologist and the surgeon when these lesions are grossly visible. We report a case of a unique frozen section diagnostic scenario of evaluation of keratin granulomas in the peritoneum of a 47-year-old woman in the setting of multiple potential culprits: endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma following fertility sparing treatment, and a concurrent dermoid cyst. We discuss the various etiologies of keratin granulomas in the peritoneum, mechanism of their formation, diagnostic significance, as well as implications of fertility sparing treatments. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only case of keratin granulomas in the peritoneum with multiple distinct potential pathologic culprits as well the only case following fertility sparing treatment.

Accessory Pathway

Background/Aim. The occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the presence of an accessory pathway (AP) that conducts rapidly is potentially lethal because the rapid ventricular response may lead to ventricular fibrillation (VF). The aim of the study was to determine long-term efficacy of AP catheter-ablation using radiofrequency (RF) current in secondary prevention of VF in WPW patients. Methods. Study included a total of 192 symptomatic WPW patients who underwent RF catheter-ablation of AP in our institution from 1994 to 2007 and were available for clinical follow-up for more than 3 months after procedure. Results. Before ablation, VF was recorded in total of 27 patients (14.1%). In 14 of patients (51.9%) VF was the first clinical manifestation of WPW syndrome. A total of 35 VF episodes were identified in 27 patients. The occurrence of VF was preceded by physical activity or emotional stress in 17.1% of cases, by alcohol abuse in 2.9% and by inappropriate intravenous drug administration in 28.6%. In addition, no clear precipitating factor was identified in 40% of VF cases, while informations about activities preceding 11.4% of VF episodes were not available. The follow-up of 5.7 ? 3.3 years was obtained in all of 27 VF patients. Of the 20 patients who underwent successful AP ablation, all were alive, without syncope or ventricular tachyarrhythmias during long-term follow-up. In 4 of 7 unsuccessfully treated patients, recurrence of supraventricular tachycardia and/or preexcited atrial fibrillation were recorded; one of these patients suddenly died of VF, 6 years after procedure. Conclusion. In significant proportion of WPW patients, VF was the first clinical manifestation of WPW syndrome, often precipitated by physical activity, emotional stress or inappropriate drug administration. Successful elimination of AP by percutaneous RF catheter-ablation is highly effective in secondary prevention of life-threatening tachyarrhythmias in patients with ventricular preexcitation.

Epidemiological Characteristics

Introduction: Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare, congenital and, benign lesions. The etiology of these lesions is related to an embryonic defect during neurulation. Case presentation: The present study describes a case of a 3-year-old girl with a giant cerebellar dermoid cyst, which initially manifested as hydrocephalus. Discussion: We discuss its epidemiological characteristics as well as diagnostic and therapeutic management. The combination of high clinical suspicion, anamnesis, thorough physical examination, and adequate interpretation of neuroimaging data is crucial for the early diagnosis and timely therapeutic intervention for such cysts. Conclusion: Surgical approach involving complete lesion resection considerably improves prognosis.

Abstract Aim “For pre operative optimization and educational purposes, rare possibilities should be included in the differential diagnosis”” Material and Methods “CASE REPORT. Inguinal hernia is one of the common operations done by surgeons, often diagnosed clinically. Here we present a case of 29 year old male patient presented with inguinal swelling for 3 years. He was admitted for the surgical ward as a case of incarcerated inguinal hernia for elective repair under GA. Intra op the mass was not consistent with inguinal hernia, two other possibilities were a concern that can cause the swelling; 1) testes, which was excluded by examining the scrotum, 2) Dermoid/Epidermoid cyst which was checked by the mass content of hair and pasty fluid” Results “DERMOID CYST” Conclusions “Most surgeons depend on clinical picture in diagnosing inguinal hernia, thus even other rare possibilities should be included in the differential diagnosis. Unusual presentations of inguinal hernia should be having radiological evaluated.”
