Chronic Myelopathy

AbstractHTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is an important cause of nontraumatic and noncompressive chronic myelopathy which generally has no improvement regardless of treatment. On the other hand, ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) is also a cause of myelopathy; however, it can improve in some cases when surgical treatment is well applied. In this case report, we presented a case of a patient with HAM/TSP overlapping OLF which showed some improvement with surgical treatment.

I have read with interest Doctors Adams' and El-Salawy's comments on my case report identified in their letter as the "Lausanne baby." I do think that the "Lausanne baby" represents a case of pulmonary vascular sequestration inasmuch as the inferior lobe of the left lung received its blood supply by means of three arterial branches coming off directly from the aorta. On the other hand, I do not think that the "Lausanne baby" is a case of pulmonary parenchymal sequestration and this because the inferior lobe of the left lung was proven to be, at least to my satisfaction, in direct communication with the remainder of the respiratory tract.

Hepatobiliary Scan

Ectopic gall bladder is a rare entity. It can often be misdiagnosed causing diagnostic dilemma leading to various complications. Ultrasonography is the most common investigation for evaluating gall bladder pathologies. However, the confirmation of ectopic gallbladder is not easily possible by this method. On the other hand, hepatobiliary scan (HIDA scan) plays an important role in evaluating the presence and position of ectopic gallbladder. Here we present a case of sonographically suspected ectopic gallbladder confirmed by hepatobiliary scan highlighting the importance of HIDA scan in ectopic gallbladder.Bangladesh J.

This report apparently is the first to describe candidosis in reindeer. It is imperative that reindeer kept in corrals during winter and spring for supplementary feeding, are provided clean, dry conditions and that strict hygenic measures are followed. If reindeer on the other hand are kept in dirty, wet and muddy corrals, among other things, skin lesions due to fungal infections may possibly appear rather frequently.

Objective: To verify if there is a type of image that guides the surgeon in recommending surgical treatment for ankle fractures and assess whether this decision is associated with the evaluator’s age and experience, considering surgeons of different nationalities. Methods: We analyzed 3 different presentations of radiographic images of ankle fractures in 36 patients: anteroposterior and lateral views, true anteroposterior and lateral views, as well as the 3 grouped images. Images were assessed randomly and independently by 89 professionals of different nationalities, ages, and experience. Results: Among professionals from Ecuador, Argentina, Mexico, and Chile, surgery recommendations were more frequent when images were presented in true anteroposterior and lateral views. For professionals from Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay, and Guatemala, as well as globally, recommendations for surgery were more frequent when grouped images of the 3 positions were presented. In all countries and globally, we verified lower frequencies of surgery recommendations when presenting only anteroposterior and lateral views. Conclusion: In most countries, surgery recommendations were more frequent when grouped images of all 3 views were presented. On the other hand, the highest frequencies of surgery recommendations were observed when images were presented only in true anteroposterior and lateral views. Surgery recommendations were not associated with the experience (years since graduation) of the evaluating physician. Level of Evidence IV; Prognostic Studies; Case Series.

Real Challenge

Colonic perforation post colonoscopy is rarely seen; however, when coupled with massive pneumoperitoneum in haemodynamically stable patients, a real dilemma for surgeons is created. The decision between watchful waiting versus surgical intervention is the real challenge and while most surgeons will urge for surgical intervention, conservative management on the other hand can be safely applied in selected haemodynamically stable patients.

Increased Risk

HTLV-I and HTLV-II are endemic in some areas of Brazil, where an associated disease, HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) have been diagnosed in significant number of infected individuals. Tuberculosis has been demonstrated among those individuals, with higher prevalence than in the general population, suggesting that there is an increased risk for this comorbidity. We report the case of an individual coinfected with HTLV-I and HTLV-II, suffering from an insidious meningoencephalomyelitis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The patient was a 44 years old man successfully treated with steroids and antituberculous drugs, improving clinically and turning to a negative PCR and to a normal blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier.
