<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of middle turbinate pneumatization in patients of Southern region of Saudi Arabia.<strong> </strong> </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This study used a retrospective radiological design to analyze computed tomography scans of 117 patients aged between 18 and 80 years of Southern region in Saudi Arabia were used in this study. Patients with altered anatomy (iatrogenic or pathological) were excluded, CT scans were analysed to determine the prevalence of middle turbinate pneumatization in patients of Southern region of Saudi Arabia.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> There were forty percent (40%) male cases and sixty percent (60%) female cases. Concha bullosa (CB) was discovered in 17 (14.5%) of the cases, with 4 cases (23%) being bilateral and 13 (76%) being unilateral. 7 (53%) of unilateral cases were on the right side, while 6 (47%) were on the left.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> CB was discovered in 17 (14.5%) of the cases, in patients of Southern region of Saudi Arabia, most of them unilateral by 76%. That’s indicate there is significant number of patients have CB and surgeon should consider it one of his differential diagnosis in patient with nasal obstruction.</p>

Neuro-ophthalmic disorders are capable of causing significant morbidity, requiring the clinician to develop and maintain nuanced skills that facilitate timely diagnosis and effective management. Virtually any neurologic disease can present with symptoms of either afferent or efferent visualpathway dysfunction. This chapter emphasizes principles of accurate localization and discusses key clinical clues that serve to generate an appropriate differential diagnosis. It specifically addresses acute monocular visual loss from retinal and optic nerve diseases, papilledema, chronicoptic neuropathies, visual field deficits, supranuclear and infranuclear eye movement disturbances, and nystagmus. Figures include an algorithm for the evaluation of acute monocular visual loss, computed tomography scans, and a large gallery of diagnostic photos. This chapter contains 48 figures, 2 tables, 168 references, 5 Board-styled MCQs, and 1 teaching slide set.

Intestinal Metastasis

Despite the frequent rapid spread of esophageal cancers to other organs, metastases to the small intestine are uncommon. As such, this paper describes a case of a 60-year-old male who developed a small intestinal obstruction due to metastasis from esophageal carcinoma. This patient had received radical esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma 14 months prior to the diagnosis. Furthermore, the important role of computed tomography scans played in composing the differential diagnosis will be explored. In order to relieve the obstruction, resection of the small intestine was performed, and the patient survived six months postoperatively.

Descending Colon

An 80-year-old woman presented to a regional emergency department with postprandial pain, weight loss and diarrhoea for 2 months and a Computed Tomography (CT) report suggestive of descending colon malignancy. Subsequent investigations revealed the patient to have chronic mesenteric ischaemia (CMI) with associated bowel changes. She developed an acute-on-chronic ischaemia that required emergency transfer, damage control surgery and revascularisation. While the patient survived, this case highlights the importance of considering CMI in elderly patients with vague abdominal symptoms and early intervention to avoid potentially catastrophic outcomes.
