Dieulafoy’s lesion of the rectum: a case report and review of the literature

AbstractOne patient with Dieulafoy’s lesion (DL) of the rectum who had a history of anal receptive intercourse is described and the relevant literature reviewed. DL is rare in clinical practice and is extremely rare in the rectum. It often affects patients with no history of cirrhosis or gastrointestinal disease and occurs with abrupt or recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. Visible vessels can usually be found by endoscopy and coinstantaneous treatments are essential while surgical interventions can occur when necessary. The diagnosis of DL is mainly based on clinical manifestations and endoscopic features, and endoscopic treatment is the first option for hemostasis.

Abstract We report a case of gallbladder paraganglioma that was discovered during nonrelated surgery. Retrospective study disclosed a family history of pheochromocytoma. The occurrence of gallbladder paraganglioma in the presence of family history of endocrine neoplasia supports that gallbladder paraganglioma may indeed occur as a part of the multiple endocrine neoplasm syndrome. Gallbladder paraganglioma is a rare tumor, and so far to our knowledge only 6 cases have been reported in the literature. Three cases were discovered incidentally during cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis, 2 presented with right upper quadrant pain, and 1 manifested with gastrointestinal bleeding. We herein review all reported cases of paraganglioma of gallbladder and biliary system.

History Of

Introduction: Dieulafoy’s lesion (DL) is occasioned by a tortuous, persistent and large caliber artery that emerges the mucosa from the submucosa of an organ, eventually triggering gastrointestinal bleeding in the presence of eroding factors of the mucosa and arterial wall. The presence of DL has been described in many anatomic topographies and although it predominates in the upper digestive tract, the presence of this lesion exactly in the major duodenal papilla is a rare event. Objective: to report a case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to a major duodenal papilla DL. Case report: a 72 year-old female, admitted to hospital care with a clinical history of two months continuous, painless melena, multiple previous blood transfusions and symptomatic anemia. She was referred by another health service with the diagnostic hypothesis of hemobilia, suggested by two previous esophagogastroduodenoscopies. Her abdominal ultrasound and arteriography were normal. A third esophagogastroduodenoscopy evidenced active bleeding in the duodenal major papilla, and after a carefully analysis a papillar DL was diagnosed. It was treated by endoscopy with adrenaline 1:10000 injection and thermocoagulation. Following this procedure she evolved with severe acute pancreatitis due to papillitis and need of intensive care unit admission. No rebleeding was detected and hospitalar discharge occurred twenty days after hospitalization. Conclusion: The localization of a DL at the major papilla is a rare event and acute pancreatitis is a complication related to its endoscopic treatment.

Gluteus Maximus Muscle

In clinical practice, we encounter mechanical lesions of the ischiadic nerve most frequently with a trauma of the pelvis circle or because of surgical injury in the alloplastic treatment of the hip joint. Other causes for nerve lesions are sporadic or even rare. To such ones also belongs compression of the nerve by metastasis of a urethra carcinoma to the gluteus maximus muscle. A typical manifestation of this nerve injury is a tibioperoneal paresis with a preponderance in its peroneal component. The diagnostic process can be additionally complicated by a contemporal vertebrogenic syndrome with radiculopathy, the more so, when an intervertebral disc protrusion on imaging would be discovered. We present a case of a woman with a two-year history of an undifferentiated urethra carcinoma which has metastasized into the gluteus muscle and has produced a compression of the ischiadic nerve.

Abstract Background Granulomatous capillary haemangioma refers to a benign vascular tumour that commonly affects the skin, with occasional involvement of the mucosa. Reports of conjunctival granulomatous capillary haemangioma in children are uncommon. In this article, we present a case of granulomatous capillary haemangioma and a brief review of the relevant literature. Case presentation An 11-year-old girl presented with a conjunctival mass. An excision of the entire lesion was performed. Histopathology showed a granulomatous capillary haemangioma. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of granulomatous capillary haemangioma lack specificity; pathological characteristics and immunohistochemistry are the main basis for diagnosis. We retrospectively analysed the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with conjunctival granulomatous capillary haemangioma to deepen the understanding and facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Genetic Anomaly

Activated protein C resistance (APCR) is a recently discovered, medically important cause of venous thrombosis. More than 95% of cases are due to factor V Leiden (FVL), a mutated form of factor V that is resistant to degradation by activated protein C. The prevalence of this disorder, which is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, is approximately 5% among asymptomatic people of European heritage. In addition, 20 to 60% of patient cohorts with previous thrombosis demonstrate APCR, making it the most common known genetic cause of abnormal thrombophilia. Current laboratory techniques available for diagnosis include functional assays, such as the APC ratio, as well as DNA-based tests that detect the specific genetic anomaly responsible for FVL. A case report is presented, along with a review of the literature highlighting epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and methods for laboratory diagnosis.

Esophageal Foreign Bodies

The incidence of esophageal impacted denture is proportionately increasing as there is increasing number of people wearing denture in current days. Impacted denture has to be removed as soon as possible because the delay can lead to complications. The successful removal of impacted denture in the esophagus in a patient is reported, with a review of the literature. A 52-year-old Malay lady complained of dysphagia with no history of foreign body ingestion. Following unsuccessful attempts of removal via a rigid esophagoscope, open surgery was performed. Without further delay, the impacted denture was removed by cervical esophagotomy, and the patient recovered uneventfully. Esophageal foreign bodies are usually removed by endoscopy. However, in situations where this appears potentially hazardous, such as with impacted denture, open surgical extraction that is promptly performed is a safer option.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 03 July’21 Page: 362-365
