Introduction: Brugada syndrome is a genetic disorder of the heart’s electrical system that increases a patient’s risk of sudden cardiac death. It is a syndrome most prevalent in Southeast Asians and is found 36 times more commonly in Asians than in Hispanics. Case Report: We report and discuss a case of a 68-year-old Hispanic male who presented with clinical and electrocardiogram abnormalities consistent with Brugada syndrome. Discussion: The patient’s age and ethnicity represents an atypical presentation of this rare syndrome and the lack of reported studies in the literature pertaining to these demographics reflect this. Conclusion: Further studies and characterizations are necessary as manifestations continue to be unearthed. As such, Brugada Syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis for a myriad of patient populations.

A 25yrs old lactating women present with membranous lesion of the tongue, painful ulceration of mouth and vulva. The differential diagnosis of vulval ulcer includes various causes of acute vulval lesion usually associated with STD, malignancy and immunosuppressive disease. Later it is diagnosed as a case of vulval tuberculosis. This common lesion is often misdiagnosed, leading unnecessary investigations and treatment.   DOI: 10.3329/bmj.v38i2.3577 Bangladesh Medical Journal 38(2) 2009 65-67

Low Threshold

Gastric volvulus is defined as an abnormal rotation of the stomach. Classical textbook presentation may not always be present. Meticulous assessment and broadened differential diagnosis are thus crucial. Various types have been described in literature. Low threshold for detection with aggressive resuscitation and immediate surgical exploration on suspected incarceration or perforation are mandatory. We report a case of 16-years-female who had atypical presentation of mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus. Emergency exploratory laparotomy with wedge resection and primary repair of stomach with anterolateral gastropexy was performed. She had uneventful recovery with discharge on fifth postoperative day.

Periorbital Pain

Gradenigo’s syndrome was first described by Giuseppe Gradenigo in 1907 when he reported a triad of symptoms consisting of unilateral periorbital pain related to trigeminal nerve involvement, diplopia due to sixth cranial nerve palsy and persistent otorrhoea, associated with otitis media with petrositis. The classical syndrome related to otitis media has become very rare after the antibiotic era. Incomplete and atypical clinical features of Gradenigo’s syndrome have been described and non infectious causes may mimic this condition. We report a case of acute petrositis in a 19 year old boy with unilateral periorbital pain, diplopia (lateral rectus palsy) in the absence of ear discharge. Careful clinical history, physical examination, including neuroimaging, is necessary to make a differential diagnosis. Appropriate management requires antibiotic treatment and possible surgical intervention.

Radial Wrist Pain

We report an abnormal muscle on the radial aspect of the wrist, which presented clinically as a ganglion and radial wrist pain. Existence of muscles in the first compartment has been accounted earlier, however its atypical presentation advocates its inclusion in the differential diagnosis of a dorso-radial ganglion and wrist pain.

History Of

We present the extraordinary case of a 72-year-old man with a history of primary cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (pcPTCL-NOS) previously controlled with topical agents who developed tumours in a sporotrichoid pattern. Culture of the tumours was negative, and histopathology showed findings consistent with recurrent pcPTCL. The tumours were successfully treated with localised radiation therapy. Sporotrichoid lesions are an extremely rare and atypical presentation of cutaneous lymphoma, with only 2 other cases reported in the literature. Our case reinforces the need to include cutaneous lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of nodules on the extremities spreading in a sporotrichoid pattern. Clinical recognition of this atypical presentation of cutaneous lymphoma allows for prompt, effective treatment, which might include localised radiation therapy.

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP) is a kind of periodic paralysis, which is a heterogeneous group of muscle diseases. It is characterized by episodes of flaccid and sudden muscle weakness.Here, we present a case of HPP. The patient was referred to our department because of severe dizziness and fall. After a comprehensive evaluation, a markedly low potassium was detected. The patient’s symptoms resolved after replacement of potassium and he was discharged without deficits. Even though the literature reports an association with exercise, carbohydrate load, and stress, further workup in our patient revealed no association with these precipitants. A proper differential diagnosis should rule out other causes of weakness and paralysis, thus allowing a timely treatment.
