Epilepsy as a progressive (or nonprogressive “benign”) disorder

Anorexia nervosa is a complex, chronic, remittent disorder of mostly adolescent women. It presents with multiple psychiatric and medical symptoms which are difficult to diagnose and treat, especially in the long run. Its differential diagnosis is complex and treatment requires dedicated effort and several specialists working cooperatively. Its etiology is still unclear, although there are several promising leads. Treatment is largely empirical and nonspecific at this point. Early identification and aggressive treatment are the only hope for preventing chronicity. Its relatively high mortality attests to the fact that it is not a benign disorder.

Rule Out

Angina bullosa hemorrhagica (ABH) is a benign disorder of the oral cavity. Clinically, oral, blood-filled blisters are seen. To give a proper diagnosis, one should rule out any other cause. We aim to present this case in order to emphasize this rare cause of oral bullae which is necessary to be differentiated from many serious dermatological and hematological disorders.

Benign Disorder

Renal lymphangiectasia is a very rare benign disorder characterised by dilatation of the perirenal and peripelvic lymphatics. The condition is commonly misdiagnosed for othercystic lesions of the kidney such as polycystic kidneys. The diagnosis can be made with near-certainty if classical imaging findings are recognised. We report a case of bilateral renal lymphangiectasia, diagnosed on ultrasonography and computed tomography based on the typical imaging findings and the laboratory analysis of aspirated fluid. The patient was managed conservatively.
