There have been many reports of the association between hemihypertrophy and intraabdominal masses, including Wilms' tumor, hepatoma, and adrenal cortical neoplasias.1 The present report describes a patient with segmental hemihypertrophy, multiple ovarian cysts, and bilateral Wilms' tumor and suggests a screening regimen for patients with hemihypertrophy. CASE REPORT The patient was a 9 lb 14 oz product of a term pregnancy, who was well until a mass filling the entire right side of the abdomen was discovered on routine examination at 4 months of age. Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) confirmed a large prerenal mass which on ultrasound was felt to be an ovarian cyst.

Introduction: Acute brain herniation is a life-threatening neurological condition that occasionally develops due to severe complications following cerebral aneurysm clipping. Strategies for managing acute brain herniation have not improved substantially during the past decade. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) may alleviate harmful effects of cerebral hypoxia, which is one of the most important pathophysiological features of acute brain herniation and, therefore, may be useful as an adjuvant therapy for acute brain herniation. A case treated with adjuvant HBOT is reported. Case report: A 60-year-old asymptomatic man presented with a recurring left middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysm with previous stent-assisted embolisation. After craniotomy for surgical clipping of the aneurysm, disturbance of consciousness and right hemiplegia occurred. Computed tomography (CT) images suggested simultaneous cerebral ischaemia and intracranial haemorrhage. Pharmacologic treatment resulted in no improvement. A CT scan acquired five days after surgery showed uncal and falcine herniation. HBOT was administered five days after surgery, and the patient’s condition dramatically improved. He became conscious, and his hemiplegia improved following seven sessions of HBOT. Simultaneously, CT images showed regression of the acute brain herniation. Conclusions: The patient had recovered completely at one year post-treatment. HBOT may be effective in the treatment of acute brain herniation following cerebral aneurysm clipping.

identally swallowed dentures are one of the most common foreign bodies of upper digestive tract in elderly people and it can lead to severe complications. Complications ranging from oesophageal rupture, mediastinitis, haemetemesis, and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury has been reported. Therefore, an early detection and an early intervention are important. We are reporting a case of accidentally swallowed denture. After the diagnosis of an impacted denture was made, upper GI Oesophagoscopy was done and it was removed in emergency OT. This case highlights the importance of an early treatment in order to avoid complications.

Clinical Signs And Symptoms

Acute appendicitis in puerperium is often diagnosed too late, because clinical signs can be unrelaible. Abdominal wall rigidity is rarely noticed in puerpeium because of weak abdominal wall muscles, laboratory parameters are not enough relaible and atipycal appendix presentation makes difficulties in diagnosis3,4. Knowing clinical signs and symptoms of appendicitis, possible complications and their early detection, make a chance for a good surgical outcome. Measuring of axillar and rectal temperature can take confusion in, and prolong time until surgical treatment. Leucocytosis in puerperium is not valid for diagnosis. We report a case of patient in puerperium with high laboratory infection parameters. Diagnosis of appendicitis is made based on clinical signs and symptoms, that is proved intraoperatively and histologicaly. Appendectomy without perforation carries less risks for mother and fetus.

Endoscopic biliary stent insertion is a well-established procedure that is indispensable in the management of various benign and malignant biliary disorders, and one that helps prevent mortality related to invasive surgical procedures. We report a rare case of the distal migration of a biliary stent outside the abdomen to the pericardium, inducing constrictive pericarditis and septic shock. This case alerts clinicians to be aware of potential adverse events that can lead to unfavorable patient outcomes. Such adverse events can be effectively avoided through early detection and intervention.

This chapter covers pertinent issues around the management of children with status epilepticus within and outside of specialist centres. A detailed overview of the work-up of a child in status epilepticus is presented. Additionally, the potential management of patients with refractory status epilepticus and super-refractory status epilepticus is evaluated. Furthermore, the chapter focuses on strategies to aid decision-making related to the practical challenges paediatric intensivists face, such as the suitability of extubating patients at the referring hospital, the decision to transfer patients to specialist centres for ongoing management, the role of neuroimaging, and about use of quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) as a continuous neuromonitoring modality.
